Alma High School - Class of 2012 - Senior Rep {Mid Michigan Senior Photographer}

Wow, have I been slacking on the blogging!! Well we are going to make up for that right now with some gorgeous images of my Class of 2012 Senior Rep from Alma High School. I'd love to introduce to you, the 1 and only and absolutely STUNNING Melanie Yost!! Mel and I have been trying to do our rep session for a few weeks but Michigan still thinks it's winter and so it's been a tad frustrating. Well last weekend we said to heck with it and braved the cold for a few shots. We are going to meet up again this weekend to do a few more shots I had in mind the required us to not be blown over by the excess cold winds and snow...lol. But I must say after our "quick" session we just had I am beyond excited to get her in front of my camera again!!

There is a house down the road from me, every year her yard is covered in these flowers but they only last for about a week or so. I had this shot in mind for Mel but I knew if we didn't do it this past weekend the flowers would be gone. So Mel is laying there on the wet ground as snow flakes are dropping on her and it was freezing but I am SO glad she did because I LOVE this shot!!

Mel dances for APA here in downtown Alma. I am always drawn to her dancing when shooting events for APA. I absolutely love to watch her dance and can't wait to do some more dance photos with her this summer. We are going to make a date of it :)

If you are looking for senior pictures that are original and all about YOU, then give me a call!! I am booking summer and fall sessions and my schedule is filling up fast!! Let's tell your senior story :)
Till next time...

Merry Christmas {Mid Michigan Photographer}

"Believe" in the magic of Christmas...

I hope this finds you all enjoying your last few days before Christmas :) Yes, you have seen this image before, it was actually taken last winter after Christmas and so this year it graced the front of our Christmas cards. I think it will always be a favorite of mine as the simple words my children are holding are so much apart of what the Christmas season is all about. There is pure "Magic" in these simple words. I hope you and your family have a very Magical and Blessed Christmas!!
And above all, I hope the true meaning of CHRISTmas is near and dear to your heart this holiday season.
God Bless,
Hayley

I also want to take a moment to thank you all for being a blessing in my life this past year. I am so thankful for each and everyone of you who allow me into your lives to capture your special moments. 2010 was a year of blessings for my business and I am very excited to see where 2011 takes me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

And Happy New Year!!

Office will be closed from Thursday Dec. 23rd ~ Monday Jan. 3rd. I will return all emails and phone calls after the 3rd.
