Just a quick note of farewell as we finish packing for a much needed vacation.  I will be out of the office and away from the phone until June 1st. Feel free to shoot me an email (use “Contact” link above) during the next week and half.  I will respond shortly after my return.  Until next time …

Meet Kelsey.  She’s beautiful, totally carefree, so easy to hang with and pretty much born to be in front of the camera.  She’s also the Senior Rep for my Alma Mater, Michigan Lutheran Seminary.  Yeah!  Our time cruising through the streets for her photo shoot was so fun.  We had to stay ahead of the rain the whole time.  You’d never know from looking at her photos that we were rushing around like mad.  Good times.

ATTN 2011 SENIORS at MICHIGAN LUTHERAN SEMINARY: Hit Kelsey up for some great discounts on your senior pics with Jess VanLue.

Meet Hannah.  The latest, greatest 2011 Senior Rep for Jess VanLue.  Oh Hannah, I’ve know this beauty since … well … diapers.  She grew up in my neighborhood.  I was her babysitter years ago, and now she babysits my rugrats.  Wow, is that a sign of the times or what?  She’s such a pure soul, and has grown up into an incredible, beautiful woman.  She was so nervous at her session, but she truly shined in front of the camera.  It was such a pleasure to photograph her.

THANK YOU to everyone who commented.  And an even bigger thanks for all of the amazing compliments.  I’m completely flattered and have enjoyed every minute of each session.   I love my job!
