Maternity Portraits {Photography by Sabreena - Lansing, Michigan; Newborn & Maternity Photographer}

June 23, 2010 – 7:09 pm

It warms my heart so much when old friends call for a special photo session. Tasha and Mike are expecting little Noah any day now and I can not wait to meet him! I have so many favorites from their maternity session…

The difference of 1 Year {Photography by Sabreena - Novi, Michigan Child & Family Photographer}

June 12, 2010 – 12:46 pm

It is so amazing the changes that 1 year can bring. I know I have said it before…and I will probably say it again :D I ♥ working with the families that I do and seeing their children grow up a little each year; although, the first year is probably the most dramatic.

Here is little “L” wearing the same tutu and diaper cover she did for her newborn session.

Spring! {Photography by Sabreena - Howell Michigan Child Photographer}

March 9, 2010 – 1:53 pm

The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring. ~Bern Williams

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold:  when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~Charles Dickens

It’s spring fever.  That is what the name of it is.  And when you’ve got it, you want - oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! ~Mark Twain

No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow. ~Proverb

You can see this sweet girls first session here:

Newborn Session

I can hardly believe that it has been a year since her newborn session. This girl LOVES to smile and that totally made my job easy!

She did give me one pouty face though to tell me she was done…what a doll!

The little things… {Michigan Children and Family Photographer; Photography by Sabreena}

February 8, 2010 – 3:18 pm

So, it goes without saying that these are tough times. I think we needed these tough times though and even though it is often hard to see the “bigger picture”, I think that in the end we are heading to a better place in our lives.

We have been pinching pennies in our family, just as many of you are. I have taken a coupon class from a church friend of mine and have been getting excited to see how much I can save with each shopping trip. I have cut my monthly grocery bill by 50%…that is HUGE!

We have also been finding other ways to save money, such as not eating out. This has resulted in skinnier waste lines as well as a great time to do a family devotional after each meal. What a great way to get more quality time with the family!

In all of this cutting back I have come to realize how important the little things in life are. It makes me realize how important photographs are in my life as well. I have been taking time to preserve some of my grandfather’s photos from World War II and have been teaching my girls a bit of history in the process.

Then I realized, my girls are MY history. I am a mom! Some day my grandchildren will be looking at photos of me and my children and reminiscing about the “good old days”.

This is why I feel so passionately about my work. I am taking portraits of your children, family, and loved ones and turning them into art. I am preserving this time in your lives to remember for all time.

I know these are tough times, however, I know how precious your portraits are. I would like to offer a special discount for anyone who booked and ordered portraits from a session in 2009. If you had a session in 2009 and have already placed at least one order from that session, then you can receive 25% off any additional reprints ordered between February and May 2010.

And because I can not have a post without photos, here are some portraits of my neighbor’s beautiful children:

Christmas Card & Holiday Card Sessions {Howell, Michigan; Photography by Sabreena}

September 16, 2009 – 1:50 pm

In this economy most everyone’s focus has turned from wanting everything regardless of cost, to wanting good products at a fair or discounted price. I have recently been turned on to coupon shopping. Initially I was very frustrated by the task of juggling coupons, kids, and the shopping cart, not to mention my shopping list and the grocery ad. I was about ready to give up on the idea, however, I had been completely inspired to make an effort to try and do this after seeing how much money could truly be saved. I took some time last night and put together a binder using sheet protectors made to hold business cards. Each slot holds a different kind of coupon. I made my shopping trip this morning and to my surprise I had a savings of 53%!!! I was sooo excited, but I know I can do even better next time!

I think also in this economy that we are re-focusing on what is most important to us and for most of us it is our families. I truly believe that capturing family portraits is so important because our families are ever growing, ever shrinking….ever changing. I photograph newborns all the time and it makes me realize how hard it is to even remember my own children when they were that tiny. That is usually when I need to pull out the albums to remind myself that, yes, they were that small and to remind me how fleeting every moment is.

I have been blessed with keeping very busy this summer and now fall. My schedule is almost completely booked until November. I would like to squeeze in a Christmas/Holiday card special, however, for those bargain shoppers out there that realize the importance to family portraits, but would also like to save some money.

I wanted to focus my special this year not only on cards, but also in gift giving. Why not tackle a few Christmas gifts in the process of having your portraits taken?

2009 Holiday Special - $200 (Value of $330)

* 1 hr. portrait session (location to be determined)

* 1 - 8×10 print

* 2 - 5×7 gift prints

* 16 - wallets (2 poses)

* 24 - two sided Christmas/Holiday Cards

And because I can not have a post without a photo, here are two sisters and their sweet dog…

Playing Catch-up {Photography by Sabreena - Michigan Photographer}

August 19, 2009 – 11:07 am

I am a bit behind on my blog post and I totally apologize for that. Most of you are recieving your galleries before I get a chance to post on here, but I am taking a little time today to play catch-up on my blog. August is completely booked at this point. September is going to start booking fast as that is the ideal time to start thinking about your yearly photo for your Christmas and Holiday cards. I have some beautiful new designs for cards this year and will be announcing my special in the next day or two.

For now here is a sweet little girl who is now 6 months old and the smilest baby you will ever meet!
