Mindy and Rick

It's always fun to do an e-session with friends and family. Mindy and Rick are super good friends with my sister Shelli, so Shelli came along and assisted me. We covered a lot of ground in an hour, and ended up at the coffee shop...big surprise. Congratualtions you two, and I hope you enjoy the show.

Robert and Liz

Good times on this shoot! I got lost on the way to their house, so I was 15 minutes late. That wasn't such a big deal, but Kelly had done the consultation so I didn't have a chance to meet Bob and Liz. So this was my first impression...late...not a good one for a wedding photographer. We had an absolute blast, and notice we didn't even go outside! I hope you guys enjoy the show.

Appreciating Warmth

It was cold on Saturday...in Munising, Michigan...on Lake Superior and the a frozen waterfall...with the howling wind and the driving snow...it was cold and wet. Everyone always ask me why I do all these crazy activities...because I can. When I can't do this stuff anymore...then I will have all the time in the world to be a couch potato.

p.s. - The frozen waterfall has a name: "Sweet Mother of Moses". Thought you'd want to know.

THE NEW MHP SITE IS LAUCHED!!!

*****************************************************************************

It is finally up folks...our new website is ready for the world. I give all the credit for the new site to my incredible wife, and our wonderful web design team @ DIGICOM Productions. There are a few things that are still quarky, but they'll be fixed in a few days.

I really do love the site, and I think it is a great projection of the level of quality and creativness that Kelly and I are committed to.

Thank you all for your help and photographic contributions.

THE NEW SITE

Janelle

Okay, I know we typically do weddings here at mhp, but for friends and former clients...we do the occassional child portrait. I thought this image was super sweet, becaue we shot it in the living room with a small peice of black paper...how cool is that? We had a great time this morning photographing baby Janelle. I hope all the family enjoys the show!

Melinda and Andrew

Can you tell it was 20 degrees in this shot, and very little wind. Yesterday was the warmest day we have had all month, and I jumped on it like Sydney on a animal cracker. We went to the Barkenhausen Park to get some awesome winter scapes, and of course we all know that it's not the location that makes the photography so great...its the couple. Melinda and Andrew were awesome, and we actually stayed warm with the help of some hot chocolate and hot smoochen(not me...them)! They reminded me of why I love what I do so much,and I hope it shows. Sorry to gush and enjoy the show.

You Decide!

I am working on a new project that requires me to pick out some art prints that I have created in the past. I am having a hard time deciding on these sunset images, so I am turning on my comments portion of the blog so you can help me pick. Just let me know if you like #1 or #2 or if you don't like'm at all. Any comments are welcome as long as they are appropriate. Thanks for the help!
