Precious and so sweet to me.

Love Miss Michele

David and Karen

Candace shot the next 2 pictures;over exposed? Na, absolutely heavenly.

What can I say about this adorable couple!What a glorious day in the Garden. If only I had know about this place 17 years ago when my husband and I got married. OK. These are all introduction sentences to a lot of thoughts that go through my mind, all I know is I was in heaven for a day (3 hours) and with some of the best company around.

Well, let me tell you a little about this couple. The day I got the call from Karen, she was recovering from major reconstructive surgery from a double mastectomy, in October...all us girls know what that month is. My heart absolutely broke for her. She was so worried about how she would look in this dress and on her special day. Well, I think she looks gorgeous! What a celebration to have for her. What a beautiful day! I was in tears by the end. It was a dream come true for her and for me. She wanted a simple wedding, so I met David and Karen at this park that I have always wanted to shoot a wedding at. They fell in love with it instantly. David grows a lot of the exotic plants that are in this garden, so it just felt so right for them to say their vows here. The day we were viewing the garden, Karen saw beautiful hummingbirds flying around the red fire cracker plant that you see in these pictures. All these things just tie so many emotions together to make a spectacular day. I hope I didn't share too much Karen, you have come through so much. I thought everyone should know and not feel defeated if they are going through something so hard. Life is to be celebrated everyday!!!!

Love, Michele

Smylie Family

So much to say, so little time. Just one of the families I have taken pictures for this season with a 3 year and 1 year old. High energy is a subtle way to describe them. I am happy to show these off to everyone, Scott is a Lawyer and Partner at Regent Law Firm and Nichole has just launched a business of her own with SendOutCards you can organize and order awesome cards through her http://www.nicholesmylie.com/ I promised nichole I would mention her business on my blog, being that it is the best time of the year to use her. Anyhow, we had an awesome session of our own and here are few pics to look at. I encourage everyone to look at Nichole's business and support her in this exciting endeavor. Especially if you have not ordered your christmas cards yet. I think everyone knows that I am not into product sales just wanting to be a photographer and history capturer. Hoping everyone's spirits are bright during this Holiday season.

Love, Michele

Ok Robyn and Michael, here is just a sneek peek of what you guys are going to see. I had a great time with you guys and love Taig he is so sweet and happy all the time. I am still working on the pictures and got into another home project, I have a bad habbit of doing that with working at home. I always get into projects and slow my productivity down. Anyhow, all of them are turning out wonderful! I think you'll be very happy!

Love,

Michele

Bathing Beauty

All I see is her heavy cheeks. Not really the flower. Such a happy little girl!

Isn't she just so cute! This tub was used to wash her grandma. Hey Linda! Hope you love them.

Nolan is 1 today.

Happy Birthday!!This morning during "Nolan's Happy Hour" we were able to get some amazing shots. As you can see he is on the move, has been for about a month now, but he is starting to move faster, almost into a run. Oh Lord help us when he does start running! He is just adorable and so is the whole family. They are such a blessing to me and my family. My girls have fallen in love with this little guy and treat him as if he was there own little brother, or probably better. We are all wishing you an awesome birthday Bud!

Love,

Miss. Michele

My new little family member loved this warm summer day by the pool. Three days new, she is sooo precious. We all love her so much. I think this is going to be the last grandchild for my parents being number 8 in the Griffith legacy, and with older girl cousins to help babysit, she is going to be soooo spoiled. My girls are so excited to have a girl baby cousin, when I get the chance to hold her, they just hover over me until I hand her over to one of them. I love the joy a new baby brings to the family.

Weddings, Whew!!!

OK, well not my plans, but His for me to do weddings. Praise God for this couple. Referred to me by one of my best friends, Ruth and Sam...Music ministers that my husband and I use to play in our church band and sing with. I and my oldest had the best time with this wedding. Weddings are not exactly my first priority as some would think, children and mommies have always been, but this one made me rethink things. I fell in love with the night and all the excitement, Dad being an hour late and knowing this family, with the little glitches of the day, was just more laughter. They really know how to just through up their hands and give it to the Lord. Marisol you were absolutely beautiful to work with inside and out. You are an awesome blessing. There are more to come, I am still working, but couldn't wait to share these with you.

Love, Michele
