Adam DeKraker, Assistant Professor of Photography at Kendall College of Art and Design, came in to present the club with "Critical Theory - Basics from Beginner to Advanced Photography Classes."

Thank you for coming in Adam! We all loved what you brought to our group!

{04.15.2008} Playin on the Playground

This week is nothing but busy work. It was nice break on Tuesday helping out in Nyla's class. The sun was out and I think the teacher had an itch to get outside to enjoy this beautiful weather. I spent half of my time laying under the swings. It was great having these three and four year olds remind me that I was too close, that I was making a bad choice, and that I could get hurt...but then laughing because they all think I'm crazy.

Behind on posting my 366...I will get caught up...promise!

{04.14.2008} Zebra Grass

As I walk around my yard today I'm seeing new life. These zebra grass though are not showing signs of spring yet. The grass gets about 8-10' mid summer. I love listening to these outside my dining room window as the wind blows.

{04.13.2008} How to use a stool.

Ethan is back! At the mature age of ONE he had some great tricks to show off this afternoon! This little man has been in my studio every three months since he was two weeks old. It's so wonderful watching these little ones grow up, but it's so sad at the same time.

Ethan's mom and dad are going to have fun with this busy guy. He's all about how things are put together and work. If he had spent any more time here he would have mastered my lights and then moved onto the camera. I love that!

Happy Birthday big guy!

{04.12.2008} Congratulations Marianne & Damon!

Today was my official start to wedding season! That means that winter is OVER! Now for flowers to bloom!

Marianne and Damon were married today at East Paris Christian Reformed Church in Kentwood. After a brief stop at the covered bridge in Ada they were off to reception at Lincoln Country Club. What a relaxed, sweet couple. The highlight of the day (for me) was the bridge. Even though the only time the rain took a break was during the ceremony we still ventured out for some amazing pictures!

Congratulations you two! Have a wonderful time in the Bahamas! This is the flower girl, Rachel, with her dad twirling at the reception. How sweet are these two!
