Thanksgiving #3-Zoladz Family







Thanksgiving day was spent on the east side of the state (Chris and I rotate every year for the actual day), which consisted of parade/football watching, making crab cakes, lots of dogs, and of course, Mrs. Z.'s amazing cooking.

Thanksgiving #2-Rockford Farm House



There's no place like the home you grew up in to celebrate a holiday. Even though dad keeps the place at roughly 54 degrees, we kept warm by the fire.

Thanksgiving #1- Lots of Babies







Thanksgiving with Central Michigan friends at Josh and Kate Walkers' was so much fun. It consisted mostly of Joshy, Abigail and Carter entertaining us followed by random conversations that lasted until about 3 in the morning. Also, Kim's cherry cola Jello was awesome.

Barber Blues


This little guy was NOT excited to be getting his hair cut. Beneath the apron he was clutching a toy :)

Happy Birthday Mr. Gordy



Reason # 157 why I love community journalism

Oakdale Christian School's beloved "Mr. Gordy," claps in surprise as he is serenaded "May the Dear Lord Bless You," to the tune of "Happy Birthday," by students Friday morning as he entered the school. Gordon VanHaitsma has been making students and staff smile for years with his humorous t-shirts from Goodwill, which students wore in his honor on Friday. "This is fantastic," VanHaitsma said about his surprise, "but it's fantastic every day."

Hanging out at Saint Paul the Apostle School







I took some freelance photos at Saint Paul the Apostle last week and it was fun. I particularly like the little girls praying before snack time :)

Rachel's Wedding Part 1










One week ago I had the privilege of shooting my cousin's wedding in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I plan to post a few updates for her, and for my family, as I tone through the day.
