KCP & InFrame Bride go to the Dream Fair!

What is the Dream Fair? It's an event organized by the Center for Women in Transition in Holland, MI and gives hundreds of area 8th grade girls the opportunity to meet career women. The goal is to help girls realize that women today have a myriad of career choices and that personal success in business is readily available to them.

Encouraging the girls to "Be Brave!" I gave them a quick 'how-to' lesson with my camera and let them do their thing. It was fun to watch them be creative, telling their friends to pose in a certain way or thinking up spontaneous subject matter. (See the shoe photo below.)

The girls were extremely inquisitive and asked lots of great questions. They sure kept me on my toes, one girl asked, "Do you meet people at your job?" And then followed it up with, "But, do you meet BOYS at your job?" Ha! I had a chuckle.

I also had a chance to meet, Anne, a graphic design artist who creates beautiful greeting cards. For all you brides who are looking for wedding invites that are modern, simple & unique, check out GIVE STUDIO. She makes custom designs!

Savannah & Andy

Cristina, John Paul, & Pebbles

Another beautiful fall photo shoot! Pebbles (the adorable Pug) was such a diva. She actually sat backwards in a few of the photos, but not before posing in this shot below.












This is the custom Save-the-Date card I designed for them!

Amber & Shane

I love this time of year, all the leaves changing color, it's so beautiful and easy to photograph! We found a great farm, Paulson's Pumpkin Patch, and had such a unique photo session. (I even picked a few "Martha Stewart" looking pumpkins while I was there!)

Kyle & Amanda

This was my first trip to the Detroit Zoo, and it was awesome! I was especially fond of the giant anteaters, they are so crazy looking. Amanda & Kyle are getting married among the butterflies in the botanical garden. I can't wait! It's going to be an intimate and romantic wedding. Below you'll see their brick at the zoo, a unique way to commemorate their special day.

Josh & Katie

Katie looked like a Hawaiian princess! (She's definitely giving Malibu Barbie a run for her money...or should I say, a run for her pink plastic porsche.)





The ceremony was moved inside at the last minute due to the weather. But the clouds parted during the reception just long enough for us to step outside and get some fun photos.

Joey & Erica

What a laid back wedding. We stopped at Aquinas college for an intimate mini photo session with the bride and groom. The food was catered from Marie Catrib's a yummy restaurant in Grand Rapids (East Hills Area) which boasts an eclectic menu and takes pride in using local foods. Marie herself was there serving chicken salad (which was awesome!) and sandwiches made on her scrumptious homemade breads. What a fun day! So glad we could be part of it! Check out Marie Catribs.
