Summer is officially OVER....

So summer has come to a close.......and what a summer it was!!! We had so much fun just being a family this year, lots of vacations and memories made. Here are just a few......

Ludington State Park 

 Reed was nice and cozy in the croozer until he didn't fit on the boardwalk and Matt and Joel had to carry him......Reed didn't mind. 

 Gage's first day of Kindergarten 

 I can't believe Reed is 1. These pictures were taken on the beach at Ludington State Park. 

 Gage's 5 year pictures!!!

 All the kids getting ready to Trick or Treat!!!!

 Gage was a Rock Star!

 Reed was a Tiger!!! 

What a great summer! We have so many memories to look back on and remember! So many fantastic times with great friends! I can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings!!!!

Luke turns 9 months.....

Luke Mersman turned 9 months last Thursday. He is a BIG 9 month old. He and his brother and sister are too cute! Check out a few of his 9 month pictures below.....

 (Pam, I modified the color in the one above a bit. I can change it back to the original color if you want.) 

Thanks for checking out this little cutie! Let me know what you think! 

Summer.....

Apparently I am the worst blogger EVER since the last post I had was in May.

Since May, Gage graduated from Preschool at West Side Christian School, Reed turned 1 and I have been on 2 successful week long camping trips, one to Holland State Park and one to Aloha State Park as well as a girls weekend away to NYC an Connecticut for a beautiful wedding.

Here are a few pictures of my life since May......

I am realizing more and more everyday how lucky I am to be home with my kids and would love to make photography more of a permanent income instead of a hobby.

Please tell your friends to follow my blog and to get in touch with me for their photography needs. For the rest of the Summer (anytime before Labor Day) There will be a 20% discount on your entire picture order and if your order exceeds $175 you will be credited your sitting fee. Give me a call.....I can't wait to hear from you.

More of the Mersman Kiddos!

Jake, Reese and Luke........

Today I had Luke and Reese visit me. Luke (4 months) is so cute and big sister Reese is 2 years old! Here are some of the pictures from today......just a few of my favorites!

Meet Luke Michael Mersman Born on Thanksgiving Day....What a blessing.

I had the privileged opportunity to meet Luke Mersman for the first time this week. He was the perfect little subject. I had a great time with the Mersman's. God has blessed them with a beautiful baby boy. Here are a few pictures of Luke. 

Congratulations Kevin, Pam, Jake and Reese!
