birthdays, Easter and spring! {Michigan Child Photographer}

My family really kicks off celebration this time of year with many birthdays. My husband is first but for some reason I can't get him to participate in his own photo shoot, LOL So that means I'm lucky having 3 kids to bribe into birthday photo shoots. This is my middle child and she just turned 5. I can't begin to tell you how excited she was to turn 5! She burst into my room, early in the morning, and exclaimed "mommy!!! I'm 5!!!" I promised myself I wouldn't whine one time during her birthday about her getting older. I just wanted to celebrate her joy. Although there is a big part of me that truly did celebrate with her because the journey of watching my babies grow is amazing, a small part of me wishes time just went a little bit slower. Here are a couple of my favorites from her session.







Just wanted to add that Easter this year was absolutely wonderful. I love nothing more than spending time with family. Easter usually signifies the return of my grandparents from Florida, which makes it even more special for me and this year was no exception. My cousin hosted and she is a natural born chef, she has a way with food and rocked dinner. Hope everyone else had a great Easter too!
