Mr. & Mrs. Koch!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way--Designs by Judy in Grass Lake did her flowers and can you say WOW? Great job Judys!

This was a dream day for shooting for me! The weather was PERFECT for an October wedding---which was outdoor and my absolute FAVORITE time of year. The setting was perfect--the flowers were perfect, need I go on. But most importantly--the bride and groom were truly fabulous to work with. I had already known the bride's Mom very well and consider her a dear friend at this point but I didn't even meet Bev until August this year. The funny part is that her and I are so much alike it's almost eery! We both drink our coffee the same way, have the same mannerisms and habits and very similar personalities. Bev's Mom said to me--"I know now why I like you so much! You remind me of Bev!" The one thing that I loved about Bev is that wherever she was people were smiling because she's one of those people that makes others happy just by being in the room....I understand how Josh fell in love! Needless to say--these are just a few of my favorites and we're going to have to upgrade Bev's album to get all her favorites in there and I'm totally geeked about designing it! (And nervous too--it has to be PERFECT!) Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Koch and thank you so much for inviting me to be part of your day. :)

Kallie "2010"

The last time I met Kallie I think we decided she was about 13 or 14 years old when I did a family shoot for her entire family! I didn't even recognize her! She's grown into a beautiful, outgoing, friendly and spontaneous young lady! I can't even believe how fast time flies--everyone keeps telling me that I'll turn around and my own children will be getting their senior photos done and that doesn't even seem possible....but look at Kallie--I'm sure her family feels like just yesterday she was a bubbling, mischievious toddler asking questions all day long! Thanks for remembering me Rudd family! It's ALWAYS my pleasure!

Julie "2010"

What a beautiful, confident, smart young woman Julie is! She also has the nicest Mom who actually was real sick on Julie's "outdoor" day. I certainly hope she is feeling better..... I did have a blast with Julie--she is so full of life and had lots of great ideas on her own! She was so polite about her ideas though, always asking permission! She is a very well rounded lady who is going to go far with her dreams no matter what they are! Good luck Julie--you are fabulous!

Joelle "2010"

I had the most relaxing and easygoing session with Joelle, her Mom and sister! They were so willing to try anything and we had fun taking Joelle's senior pictures. We even had a couple of strange encounters on Below Rd! (You can ask Joelle or Natalie!) Joelle reminds me so much of when I was a teenager--softball was my life and I see that same passion in Joelle for sports. She is kind hearted and very beautiful from the inside out--what a pleasure of a girl to spend time with. Thanks for the great time and for entertaining Kinzie and--Kaelynn (sp?)--I'm looking forward to shooting your senior pictures someday and letting Joelle pick on you! :P

Darren....."2010"

One of my most favorite people called me the other day and said "Hey Holly--I got another senior for ya!" And so here are Darren's pictures....he was actually a lot of fun because he picked on me right back right away! He was a funny guy and I hope he had fun!

Here's adorable Connor and I've taken his picture a few times and every single time I'm not sure I can get cuter shots and I always do....he gets cuter by the second! He is such a joy of a child--so full of curiousity and so smart! I love his curls and I don't know how his Mom is ever going to cut his hair--I would cry! I could go on and on about this family

Cooper--almost one year old!!!!!

Busy busy baby! We were ON THE MOVE getting Cooper's pictures and he had NO time for smiling at the camera....we were able to sneak a couple in anyway but we were clearly wasting our time trying to get anything posed with this little cutie pie. I've done Cooper's pics many times and he is the sweetest thing but what a difference this time. He has grown up so much and he is a little man now! Thanks Kristin for bringing him to Grass Lake and I love working with you and Cooper!
