Wendy Martin Photography: Where have I been??

Well.... My goal was to blog one or twice a week, but instead it's been too long! I've been thinking about you, does that count?? Life has been a bit on the busy side. I ended my school year on the 13th and packed up my career for the time being. I'm taking next year off to be a sahm and a photog... guess I'll get my bon bon's ready and my matching workout outfits for each day of the week. Right? Hmm... maybe not. But I'm happy to say that we are finally getting into a routine-- Daddy is home from Europe (a day late... which inadvertently caused me to get stitches in my knuckle... you know if your fault, Mr. Martin... ok, maybe not.) and we are done driving back and forth to Novi each day. Ya-hoo!

I've had lots of fun sessions, kids, family- 2 weddings and I'm doing a huge wedding this weekend which will be big fun. Oh yeah- and 3 shoots on Friday! I'm bringing along a 2nd shooter, Rachael, to my wedding this Saturday , so that will be a ton of fun! A big Dexter wedding with lots of surprises planned! Stay tuned for sneak peeks.

Here is a sampling of what has been keeping me up editing till the wee hours of the morning.... god I love Starbucks. Could they please put one in Dexter?

First off- I did this shoot of some of our neighborhood friends at their grandparents farm in Dexter- such cute kids- I can't stand it... Their Dad is eagerly awaiting the whole session--- tonight for sure!

Then I did another session with one of my favorite teachers from Novi- her little one is so stinking cute--- I know Mommy is eagerly awaiting the rest of the pics... soon!

Then I went to a first birthday party/photoshoot at the Butterfly Gardens at the Detroit Zoo with this little cutie and her super nice family---

I also did 2 weddings which I'll post more teasers of as I continue to edit the massive amount of pics I took! Seriously, can't I control myself? Not when you have gorgeous brides and fun wedding parties like these 2 did!

And if all that wasn't enough fun- I did tons of Miracle League pictures for 2 weekends!

My friend Melissa Mooradian and I do the pics for them- team pictures and such. This is our second year and we just love it- the families really like us- the fact that we are both special education teachers and photographers really puts them at ease, and hey- we take great pictures! :) On one Saturday, Jeremy Bonderman came out to spend some time with the kids and sign autographs. I can't stress enough how wonderful this organization is... check out this link and see how cool it is!

How fun to have Jeremy Bonderman run the bases with you!
