So you know how in the movies, when there is a cute scene of kids jumping on their parents in the morning? And every one is super-fun-happy? I don’t know about you, but a 35 pound kid breaking my back in the morning doesn’t get me up on the right side of the bed...

really? my mom always thought so. thanks.


Jackie Blair | Photographer Thanks to all the recent fans who joined!!!


I am planning a get-together for photogs to hangout, and freeshoot! Right now I am thinking it will be in Breckenridge on Friday or Saturday next week, click here to find out more & let me know if you can come! Maybe we can do dinner or lunch again...


I swear that photographers have a weird thing for shoes. We are ALWAYS photographing them as a detail, or a unique way to incorporate someone’s personality into a shot..or to pump up the fashion factor. Just ask Rachel, my bride from this weekend. I was obsessed with her red shoes...


Amber & Drew were SO AWESOME to work with, and SO IN LOVE! This is a true teaser pic from their May 31 wedding, because you can’t really see them. I love it though, so dreamylicious. Yup, thats a word


In case you missed it, Aletha featured me again on the Pearls events blog yesterday for Michelle & Brandon’s wedding-check it out here...


L&D got married last fall at Fore Lakes…I love their casual but elegant portraits…how gorgeous is this gown on her?! It was chilly so I loved Derek’s jacket on Lauren,…I was up for something different after I already got the ‘mom shot’...


As I wrote in a previous post, Alaina caught the bouquet at a wedding last fall when she was a bridesmaid for Kari & Tim. Sure enough, her and Jon were engaged shortly thereafter and they confessed that they booked me to photograph their wedding before it was even official...


It was a warm & humid day for taking pictures, mixed with an overcast but lit sky for even lighting. Little Dahlia was celebrating her fourth birthday with all her friends. We planted flowers, ate cupcakes, and danced & sang to her papa’s music...


I don’t think I ever experienced the terrible twos with K, really. Tantrum threes? Yes. It seems like in the past month, K has become incredibly opinionated, full of tantrums, really tall, really big, & very defiant...


Happy first anniversary to Lindsay & Keith who married last year on this day in Ann Arbor, Michigan! Their ceremony took place at the U of M Nichols Arboretum and they had a glam, candelabra-infested reception at Barnstormers. Lets travel back in time, shall we?


The lovely & busybee Aletha of Pearls Events featured my work from Luke & Ashley’s wedding last week on her blog…go check it out! You can see my full post of their wedding here. Also,…fellow photog friend Lyndsey wrote a post about featuring my photography in her home...


You might remember Kari & Tim from their beautiful engagement photos that I shot last summer in Rochester. After meeting in Florida where they lived & worked, they decided to tie the knot back home in Michigan as so many of my clients do...


Yesterday Keeg & I hung out at my parents house for a lazy day in the sun with lots of yummy food to celebrate memorial day...


I am headed out to Chicago today for an engagement session, but in the meantime, the fall blog posts continue! Jami & Jeremy got married last year near Flint, Michigan, merging together Macedonian & American heritage...


Alright here we go, some of the behind-the-scenes shots what goes on in my life as a photographer at a wedding. =) And FYI- NO, that is not my only wedding outfit! I just happened to be wearing it at the (two?) weddings that are included in the shots below. Its just super-comf, alright...


Michelle & Brandon’s fall wedding is definitely vying for one of my favorites of 2008. Here is the rest of their featured wedding; the warm, but glam portraits and glimpses of the ceremony & reception. CAKE | Mannino’s Bakery RECEPTION | Glen Oaks DJ | Mike St


I spent yesterday sleeping in (after a nearly-all nighter working on images), getting lunch with my mom, taking a walk topped with soft serve ice cream, and a loooong nap. Or two. All with my son of course. I wanted to share an image that my mom asked for of her mom...


I usually love to post current work but things got so hectic last year I didn’t get to blog nearly any of my fall weddings. Here is gorgeous Ashley & her hubby Luke, who met & fell in love in Arizona, but came back to Michigan to tie the knot (also where I met her,…in high school)...


I am offering my Just be | Alive photo sessions on sale. Up to two hours for families, children, engagements or just YOU. Normally $600, now $400 with a $100 gift credit towards your online shopping gallery. Digital downloads available for sale. Now scheduling for May 16, 18, 19, & 20...


While working on other projects today I squeezed in these images from Lukie’s 2nd birthday party last week...


Ok, so not in the real sense, did I get ya? ..but I do looove this set of photos that I got from a lusciously lit, warm Sunday night party. I restrained myself and only worked on one image, because, lets face it, I have some client album designs that need to come first...


Denver, day two was spent hanging with some photographers at Kim’s gorgeous modern home with my [b]uddy & some mile high photogs, Kim, Ashley, Mark, & Jonathan. Later in the day my cousin Leigh Ann & her boyfriend Jason stopped by to model for us, in-love style...


Last week I flew into Denver to visit with family, meet other mile high photogs, and ….well..I just really wanted to treat myself to a trip after nearly six years of college…which I finally completed...


Wow, its been such a busy week for me. I’ve done some shooting this week which I can’t wait to share, but in the meantime, here is a quick preview of Michelle who modeled for my Just bring it workshop today! Gorgeous, right?! I love her freckles!!!...


On Easter I busted out my old manual film camera…the one I learned photography on. I never shot a lot of color on it in the past so I have been dying to experiment...
