8 Is Alright~Michigan Child Photographer

With new years come new ideas, plans and expectations.  Back in January I plotted out many for myself but sometimes life has other plans.  After a much needed break where I spent lots of time curled up with good books, hanging with my family and well, not being very productive, I am ready to tackle those lists and feed my creative soul.

First up is a long delayed post of a few images I took of my son when he turned 8 back in December.  This boy is my laughter.  Goofy, sweet and sometimes (a lot of times) wild.  He is so special to me.

Morning ~ Oxford Michigan Child Photographer

There is nothing that makes me embrace an early morning like gorgeous morning light.  I have spent many mornings recently driving the mom taxi and enjoying those cool morning sunrises and decided to take advantage with a little impromptu photo session.  Now, I absolutely adore the warm glow of evening light but the cool blues of morning have captured my heart as well.

A change is gonna come.

In the ebb and flow of life I find myself constantly inspired by a myriad of different things.  I have realized a dream of design with Little Lotti, I have let my heart and a life long love lead me into photography and I am constantly amazed at how these thing have filled my creative needs.  I started on my professional photography path with newborns and children and absolutely love what I do.  That being said, I have been feeling a deep longing to spread my creative wings and lend my vision to senior and commercial photography as well.  To accommodate my new direction I am making some changes.

My love of vintage, leaving a legacy and spending time cuddling newborns, laughing with children and getting to know families will stay as it is with Nest Vintage.  I am so lucky to be able to photograph children and families at every stage and intend to continue to do that for as long as someone wants me to♥

To give myself the creative legroom that I long for and the chance to photograph senior girls and fashion(commercial) I will be introducing a brand new website next month!  Brandie Pahl Photography will provide modern, fashion forward, romantic, fun photography with my vintage stamp to senior girls, engaged couples and commercial clients.  On my new site you will also find my fine art photography that I currently sell on Etsy.  I am so excited for this new venture and hope that you will all love it!!  Life is after all, always changing♥

Sugar and Spice~Lake Orion Child Photographer

I love summer evenings, a breeze stirs the warm air and golden light streams through the trees.  I got to spend a fun evening just like this with little Audrey.  She is such a sweet little bundle of energy!  Everything that a toddler should be♥

Introducing My Favorite Things ~ Michigan Child Photographer

I am so pleased to be able to share a new type of session that has been bouncing around in my head for a bit now.  My Favorite Things.  My Favorite Things sessions are for children ages 4 to 14 and are designed to capture a very special time in children’s lives.  It is during this time that children are really starting to develop who they are.  They have favorite subjects or activities that they go to over and over.  I want to help you preserve this time in your child’s life.  To catch a moment of them and preserve it to look on later and remember.  When my children grow up and become whatever and whoever they are going to be I would love to be able to look back and see how their childhood favorites shaped what they became.  I hope that you would too:)

Favorite Things Sessions will be offered in two packages.  Both packages will include the session, a pre-session consult to talk about your child and the vision for their shoot, full styling to really bring to life their favorite thing, full artistic editing and products.

A full MFT session will include the above, up to 2 hours of shooting, an 8X8 20 page album and a wall print of your choice. 

A mini MFT session will include the above, up to an hour of shooting, a mini album and the gift print of your choice.

**Please contact me for pricing.

I really hope that you all love this idea as much as I do♥
