I don't even know where to start with this one. I have photographed you as you grew up, and watched your high school sweetheart relationship against all odds grow stronger through college. You are definitely a couple special to my heart, and I am so honored that you chose me to be your wedding photographer.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You were meant to be together. That was made obvious by the identical wedding gifts you gave to each other on your wedding day! The look on your faces as you each received an ipad with a special message from the other was priceless. See, your families can keep a secret. :)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Your wedding was beyond beautiful, and all through the day I watched your family and friends share in your joy. You two are truly blessed to be surrounded by so much love and support.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My words can not do your day justice - instead I will post your wedding video, as it tells the story so much better than I ever could.</div>
<div>
<br />
Love you both. xo</div>

I can honestly say that I have never seen two praying mantises in such a compromising position before - on a senior session or anywhere else.<br />

I will see that thing in my nightmares for years to come. I can't believe you were poking it with a stick! A big thank you to your uncle for letting us use his farm for your shoot - this was a perfect location for you. Casual, carefree and fun.<br />
<br />
And sassy. Lets not forget sassy. Yes, those boots are PERFECT with that dress. :) Maybe it was hard striking a pose in front of your mom and uncle, but girl, you were workin' it.<br />

I gotta say, there is nothing better than a client that is willing to just go with the flow and not let a little rain ruin our session. Of course the rain didn't matter much while we were shooting in the auditorium of <a href="http://www.jpsk12.org/jhs/" target="_blank">Jackson High School</a> - thanks Sue, for getting permission to use the stage!<br />

It was one laugh after another as we found nice backdrops for Sam's modeling debut. Stand here, sit there, smile, serious look....um, serious look...no pouting! Ha. Sam, you were a great sport, and super easy to work with - the images we ended up with are all of the awesome I see in you. <br />

And the rain - oh my. I knew that there was a chance of rain but I didn't expect it to be pouring when we walked out of the high school! It kind of inhibited our ability to get outdoor shots, but I think my fav shot of the day may be the one with JHS in the background. Sometimes unexpected events lead to new perspectives, always a good thing.<br />

Sometimes I pursue artistic endeavors other than photography. Really I do...maybe not as often as I used to, but I'm feeling drawn to crafty activities in recent weeks. The photo at left is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kusudama" target="_blank">Kusudama</a> that I created. It is made of 60 pieces of origami paper, folded into 60 petals that are glued together to make 12 flowers which are in turn glued together to form a ball.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The word kusudama literally means "medicine ball" and is comprised of two Japanese words - kusuri, meaning medicine; and tama, meaning ball. Kusudamas originate from ancient Japanese culture, and were possibly originally made of actual herbs and flowers. They are now generally made of paper and typically used for decorations or gifts. The individual components may be glued or sewn together.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Having made the individual flowers before, I set out to make my first kusudama - not really thinking about how long it would take me to make 60 origami petals. About 20 petals in I started reconsidering - this was hard work! After 10 or so more, it became almost calming. And with my two daughters happily making origami hearts, houses and pianos next to me, this ended up being a wonderful craft project for us to do together.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My final project is not perfect - there are some crooked petals, and a few are not glued to the opposite petals that they should be...but it's beautiful to me and I'm proud of it!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Interested in making a kusudama?? Here is a link to a great tutorial on how to make the <a href="http://foldingtrees.com/2008/11/kusudama-tutorial-part-1/" target="_blank">kusudama flower</a> (which can be used by itself if you like - glue a craft stem to the center and set in a vase). And part two of the tutorial explains how to make the <a href="http://foldingtrees.com/2008/11/kusudama-tutorial-part-2/" target="_blank">kusudama ball</a>. </div>

Everyone says it's good for you - even the internet, so it must be true. I try to take that advice, but anyone that knows me will tell you that I'm not a person that relaxes very well. I actually enjoy being busy, so I suppose my relaxation must come in a form that allows me to be busy without having anything to do with responsibility.</div><div><div>
<br /><div>I love photography. I do a lot of photography for other people. A lot. 'Photography For Other People' comes with it's own set of pressures and responsibilities. I never saw that coming...because if you do what you love, everything else falls into place, right? Not always.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>In an effort to bring back the love, the fun, and a little sanity in my otherwise chaotic life, I am going to reserve time to create images because I <i>want</i> to. I will broaden my horizons, stretch new creative muscles and immerse myself in creating images for the pure joy of it. I will take pictures of things that do not have eyes - an immense challenge for me, as portraiture is what comes most naturally to me. </div></div><div>
<br /></div><div>With my new resolution in mind, I attended a <a href="http://www.meetup.com/">Meetup</a> with the <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Ann-Arbor-Shutterbugs-Photography/">Ann Arbor Shutterbugs</a> at <a href="http://www.lsa.umich.edu/mbg/">Matthaei Botanical Gardens</a>. Had a great time working side by side with other amazing local photographers, no pressure, just fun. Check out a few of my favorite images below!</div></div><div>
<br /></div><div>(Ok, so some of the subjects have eyes...I can't help it)</div><div>

A few family pics for Judi, and our kiddos were off swimming in no time. I love how they act like old buddies, even though we only get together once a year :) Kevin pulled up the boat for a ride after lunch, and the kids had a great time jumping off the boat in the middle of the lake (with their life jackets on). Even Robby got into it, though rather than jumping off he just clung to Kevin and got pulled around in the water LOL (thanks Kevin!) In years past I have taken more pics, but somehow neither Judi or I picked up our cameras much this year - a good thing I think, as it allowed us more time to enjoy each others company. Below is a pic of Judi and me that Kevin took (he did good, didn't he?), as well as a few shots I took of Judi's beautiful family. Thanks so much to all of the Morrissey's for a great time, can't wait to see you again!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DFWTnVvJx_4/ThuBecTMeaI/AAAAAAAABxA/-mJ_uBdzXaE/s1600/DSC_1124.jpg"><img style="display: block;

Riley and my niece Grace are playing U10 for the Yellow team, and Allie is playing U8 on the Red team. This is Riley's first year in player pitch, and Allie's first year in "real" softball (as opposed to T-ball) :)<br />LOVE watching them have so much fun!

So much fun creating this dramatic, theatrical look.

Sailing on the <a href="http://disneycruise.disney.go.com/ships-activities/ships/magic/">Disney Magic</a>, we stopped and explored <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_West,_Florida">Key West</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Cayman">Grand Cayman</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cozumel">Cozumel</a> and <a href="http://disneycruise.disney.go.com/cruises-destinations/bahamas/ports/castaway-cay/">Castaway Cay</a> (Disney's private island). So many fun family memories, like Robby screaming every time the toilet flushed, to Dominic posing with Chip N Dale. A character breakfast, a sea turtle outing (Alex wanted to know why the sea turtles had price tags), the sting ray encounter, and swimming with dolphins (Riley's dream come true) are just a few of the incredible experiences that we had. I truly should make a blog post only about this vacation, but even if I were to post the hundreds of images taken I could not do justice to the crazy, wonderful, fun that we had on this trip.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GAFQxiMPv64/Tev6yUicmGI/AAAAAAAABoA/C6jke-pWpo4/s1600/DSC_0214.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 294px; height: 235px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GAFQxiMPv64/Tev6yUicmGI/AAAAAAAABoA/C6jke-pWpo4/s320/DSC_0214.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614857102861047906" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rDYF1o3O0Jc/Tev8HUrMoxI/AAAAAAAABoY/3mC-nsTu2A4/s1600/DSC02202.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 183px; height: 229px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rDYF1o3O0Jc/Tev8HUrMoxI/AAAAAAAABoY/3mC-nsTu2A4/s320/DSC02202.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614858563186631442" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Btq66AYMXJk/Tev6Yw5X57I/AAAAAAAABnw/4IGzB-lleQE/s1600/DSC_0112.jpg"><br /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CFmzLKpQopE/Tev8tL4qaSI/AAAAAAAABoo/6SlXyLThUXw/s1600/2011DisneyCruise005.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 236px; height: 188px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CFmzLKpQopE/Tev8tL4qaSI/AAAAAAAABoo/6SlXyLThUXw/s320/2011DisneyCruise005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614859213662218530" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CpYcizA2JnA/Tev8XNlAbMI/AAAAAAAABog/jg5hsWGuXeA/s1600/DSC_0140.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 290px; height: 193px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CpYcizA2JnA/Tev8XNlAbMI/AAAAAAAABog/jg5hsWGuXeA/s320/DSC_0140.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614858836159524034" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /><br /></span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MFn4Fbs7qzY/Tev--WaqndI/AAAAAAAABo4/nVU817pzkC8/s1600/DSC_0551.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 254px; height: 204px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MFn4Fbs7qzY/Tev--WaqndI/AAAAAAAABo4/nVU817pzkC8/s320/DSC_0551.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614861707570224594" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Lp35p4BlFJ0/Tev-m1f8MtI/AAAAAAAABow/vnSKmaKf2SU/s1600/DSC02375b.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 290px; height: 232px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Lp35p4BlFJ0/Tev-m1f8MtI/AAAAAAAABow/vnSKmaKf2SU/s320/DSC02375b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614861303596987090" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">4/16/11 - Urban Drama Workshop</span> by <a href="http://www.jenniferalderphotography.com/">Jennifer Alder Photography</a> - Jen's workshops are always outstanding, and this one was no exception.

Happy Birthday Riley and Alex!!<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pkzx81VAeaY/TewNpAnXJoI/AAAAAAAABrw/hL2PgVsQVZw/s1600/DSC_5810.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 177px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pkzx81VAeaY/TewNpAnXJoI/AAAAAAAABrw/hL2PgVsQVZw/s320/DSC_5810.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614877833615058562" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ylm32Vce7H0/TewNwmGKxjI/AAAAAAAABr4/Dl4eRy5R5rI/s1600/DSC_5806.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 215px; height: 173px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ylm32Vce7H0/TewNwmGKxjI/AAAAAAAABr4/Dl4eRy5R5rI/s320/DSC_5806.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614877963935467058" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_iVp_zCHkUE/TewN6s9XzwI/AAAAAAAABsA/ffMc29e5p-0/s1600/DSC_5588.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_iVp_zCHkUE/TewN6s9XzwI/AAAAAAAABsA/ffMc29e5p-0/s400/DSC_5588.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614878137576312578" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-01WFsBptKQ0/TewOAoE6xGI/AAAAAAAABsI/itgWPWkCzEs/s1600/DSC_5581.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 205px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-01WFsBptKQ0/TewOAoE6xGI/AAAAAAAABsI/itgWPWkCzEs/s400/DSC_5581.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614878239345001570" border="0" /></a>Whew - so how is that for being behind on blogging? That's not even everything, but I think I've covered the highlights!! Still to edit - a super fun session with a very sweet Miss Sophie; Riley, Grace and Alex Softball pics; and a few snapshots of me with a make up artist friend. Also looking forward to Jen Alder's next workshop "The Water Series" next week 6/11/11 - stay tuned...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/#%21/pages/Tressie-Davis-Photography/101004850377">"Like" Tressie Davis Photography on Facebook</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.tressiedavisphotography.com/">www.tressiedavisphotography.com</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14499316376699385945noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001303332324463464.post-41491396740754121092011-05-30T05:32:00.001-07:002011-05-30T05:34:26.584-07:005x7 Folded Card<div class="sflyProductPreviewWidget" style="width: 425px; height: 494px;"><div class="sflyProductPreviewWidgetTop" style="height: 6px; background-image: url("http://cdn.staticsfly.com/img_/share/preview/msc/widget/top.gif");"></div><br />A thank you card I designed at Shutterfly - so cute!

Over and over again I find that I am blessed with the opportunity to re-connect, to see how people have grown (more than physically LOL) and for a small moment to once again share in the beauty of their lives. I had the pleasure of this kind of session last weekend - the grown son of a former boss (yes, a favorite boss). :-) I hadn't seen Tony since he was a teen, and now he is a man with a gorgeous family of his own (wow I feel OLD). After the shock of seeing how "Little Tony" has changed, we had the BEST time on this shoot - playing in the leaves, and exploring <a href="http://www.ci.northville.mi.us/Community/MillRaceVillage/OverviewMillRaceVillage.asp">Mill Race Village</a> in Northville. Little Braiden (3) is quite the model, following directions like a pro and always looking up with her beaming smile. Avery didn't always follow direction (hey, when you're 1 1/2 it's more important to EXPLORE), but she is such a sweet little thing and the camera loved her big blue eyes. I ended up with sooooo many incredible pics, I'm really excited to start editing. Picked out a few for a sneak peek - is this not the most gorgeous family you've ever seen??<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KBOSVBrGGMs/TMYLtWwTW7I/AAAAAAAABik/W9yxt4zlNn8/s1600/crDSC_6250.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KBOSVBrGGMs/TMYLtWwTW7I/AAAAAAAABik/W9yxt4zlNn8/s400/crDSC_6250.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532122066101427122" border="0" /></a>The leaves are always a hit - LOVE fall!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KBOSVBrGGMs/TMYLplCgJCI/AAAAAAAABic/is-cDOsBWgc/s1600/crDSC_6417.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KBOSVBrGGMs/TMYLplCgJCI/AAAAAAAABic/is-cDOsBWgc/s400/crDSC_6417.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532122001216381986" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KBOSVBrGGMs/TMYLllyxAWI/AAAAAAAABiU/bloU9JpOPyM/s1600/crDSC_6395.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KBOSVBrGGMs/TMYLllyxAWI/AAAAAAAABiU/bloU9JpOPyM/s400/crDSC_6395.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532121932699337058" border="0" /></a>Mom and Dad need a special shot of their own.

This year, I have a Soccer Referee, a Sleestak and a SWAT Officer. You heard that right, LOL No way we can let a photo op like that slide...so last weekend we scheduled a costume shoot. I invited my friend Kathy and her daughter Candis came along, and we headed out to a local park to take advantage of the beautiful fall color.<br /><br />My beautiful little Allie is the sleestak. Is she not the cutest little swamp monster you ever did see?<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KBOSVBrGGMs/TL4lgRckZ8I/AAAAAAAABg0/VoFJScxskKI/s1600/crDSC_5989.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KBOSVBrGGMs/TL4lgRckZ8I/AAAAAAAABg0/VoFJScxskKI/s400/crDSC_5989.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529898628826818498" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KBOSVBrGGMs/TL4lck38mgI/AAAAAAAABgs/yKo5DIIna6U/s1600/crDSC_5800.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KBOSVBrGGMs/TL4lck38mgI/AAAAAAAABgs/yKo5DIIna6U/s400/crDSC_5800.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529898565322447362" border="0" /></a>Dom doesn't have a costume, but I had to torture him with a pic since he was there :-)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KBOSVBrGGMs/TL4lYjOBYwI/AAAAAAAABgk/9u6D5geA66g/s1600/crDSC_5779.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KBOSVBrGGMs/TL4lYjOBYwI/AAAAAAAABgk/9u6D5geA66g/s400/crDSC_5779.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529898496158688002" border="0" /></a>Miss Riley is a soccer referee...I'm guessing the whistle may have to be "lost" after Halloween...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KBOSVBrGGMs/TL4lOcg1fMI/AAAAAAAABgc/RKO5AkHEYws/s1600/crDSC_5800.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KBOSVBrGGMs/TL4lIUnxd8I/AAAAAAAABgU/cWB07RVyIz0/s1600/crDSC_6025.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KBOSVBrGGMs/TL4lIUnxd8I/AAAAAAAABgU/cWB07RVyIz0/s400/crDSC_6025.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529898217362257858" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KBOSVBrGGMs/TL4lFb_yDGI/AAAAAAAABgM/phKIL6GQLwI/s1600/crDSC_5813.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KBOSVBrGGMs/TL4lFb_yDGI/AAAAAAAABgM/phKIL6GQLwI/s400/crDSC_5813.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529898167802399842" border="0" /></a>Robby is a Swat Officer.
