They Say the Rain is a Blessing

Remember the bridal shower I photographed a couple weeks ago...well yesterday was that wonderful couple's wedding and despite the scattered showers, one of the most amazing weddings I've had the priviledge of shooting. Bailey and AJ were more than willing to perform the various circus acts I asked of them, resulting in some pretty stunning images. Not to mention they were so calm and collected all day, definitely makes for a very smooth running wedding machine :)

Sandy Puc' Family Tour 2010

Yesterday was a very eventful day for me. A fellow photographer and I went to Sandy Puc' Family Tour in Grand Rapids. I gained SO much knowledge I can't even begin to tell all of you. All I can say is to expect big things out of Natty J Photography this year in the way of family portraiture. Last year I attended the Tots 2 Teens Tour and did a record number of infant and children portraits, but I'm always trying to broaden my horizons and families will be on this years agenda!!

Also, I will be developing a new business along with J. Lynn Imagery strictly for our fundraising events. Rather than explaining to every person that walks in who is Natty J Photography and who is J. Lynn Imagery, we will be one. Now all we need is a name, feel free to input your opinion on this!!

Lastly, enjoy this dazzling weather we have stumbled upon today!

EMU's Exposure 2010 - CooLHeadS

I was asked by the owner of CooLHeadS to come photograph their runway debut at Exposure 2010 held on Eastern Michigan University's campus in the Quirk Theater. I have a feeling that they are going to be HUGE, just wait! They received the loudest applause and won the Most Innovative Design. Congrats to the CooLHeadS team and good luck in your future ventures.

80's Flashback

Another collaboration with ToughLove MPD, this time we went back...way back to the 80's with these two lovely country singers.

Sun-Eyed Girl

Well it's more like a sun-eyed family with this bunch! This trio were such cuties and natural models. What a great way to spend a gorgeous April day!

Tattoos and Spice and Bruises on Ice...

...that's what these derby girls are made of!

Two of my derby sisters were kind enough to let me go wild with their portraits and I'm pretty sure I laughed more than I took pictures.

Dangerous

I decided to take advantage of the gorgeous weather we've been having in Michigan and take some portraits the other day. Usually I avoid words of any sort in my images, drilled into my head by my favorite instructor Don Werthmann, but my subject insisted and it ended up being my favorite image of the day.
