Sneak Peek: Claire’s 5th Birthday
Aug 17th
What could be sweeter than a tower of cupcakes?
Perhaps granddaughters squeezing in with their Grandpa!
Or sisters showing that they love each other!
The birthday girl on Mama’s lap
And, sweetest of all – kisses for Mama!
Thank you girls for letting me join in the princess-y fun!
Sneak Peek…Staci Munir will plan your child’s party down to the very last detail! Check out her site (link above) and see what she can do for you! Or…to see some of her parties – go to my site, www.michellefrick.com and look for the “Save the Date” galleries. Today, she threw a beautiful princess extravaganza for sweet little Claire! More pics to follow in a gallery on my site soon. Claire, her sisters, friends and family are such a fun bunch!
Cooper at 6 Months
Aug 13th
My hubby took one look at the top shot, smiled and said – “Ninja Baby.” Sort of cracked me up – Cooper is such a strong, sturdy, and sweet, smiley little guy! I couldn’t have asked for a happier little guy to take pictures of today.
TGIF everyone – hope this little man can bring a smile to your face too!!!
Baby Mia – 7 Months
Aug 8th
Just two quick peeks to give you an inkling into how sweet little Miss Mia is, and how much she’s grown! If there’s a way to tell how quickly time passes…I’m thinking it must be by watching a baby change into a little person right before your eyes. Just a few short months ago, when I met Mia, she was this tiny little sleepy girl, and now she’s getting up on all fours and getting ready to roll! She goes more backwards than forward now with her crawl, but I think she’s going to get the knack pretty quickly. Watch out then world because Mia is a girl who knows what she likes!!
Enjoy the sneak peeks!

So cute, just had to share a few more…and still more to edit! Will I ever catch up? Oh well, at least I know what I’m doing tomorrow – EDITS! Smiles to all!!
Sneak Peek of OJ
Jul 12th
At 2, this little guy is affectionately (I promise) called, “the terrorist” by his Daddy! We started our session in the studio, and we tried to keep him entertained and contained, but he clearly knew he was in charge of this show! And, with those huge brown eyes, who could deny him anything?
Tickles from Daddy
See…we even put him in a box to try to keep him from escaping!
Smiles for Daddy!
What a face!!!!
Thanks Omar, Edith and OJ for making my Monday so much fun! Smiles to you all!
COMING SOON!

Jeff Wignall’s The NEW Joy of Digital Photography will be published later this year. For a sneak peek, at least at the cover, check out…This is a huge deal for me. I feel like I’ve come full circle by being included in this book.
When I bought my first Digital SLR, the book I bought along with it was Jeff’s, Joy of Digital Photography. Well, that book led me to www.betterphoto.com and to a class that was then taught by Jeff (by the same name as the book). He was/is an incredible teacher/mentor and friend. His guidance and support helped give me the courage to go forward with my career as a portrait photographer. So, now to have three of my images included in his revised version of the book is a HUGE honor for me. It’s the fourth book to be published including some of my images, but it’s also the one that will likely bring the biggest smile to my face!
Oh, and also, my little man finally made it into a book! Miss K has been in two of the four already (and her back makes an appearance in this one too!). This will be Evan’s first published (in a book at least) image. Of course, Kate still has a firm grip on her lead, but…at least the little man is finally getting included too! As a proud Mommy – it’s nice to have both of your kidlets included.
Speaking of which, in the last book I was included in by Vik Orenstein, Baby Carly was in the book on page 5. And, now, in Jeff’s book, Carly’s baby brother Cooper makes his first appearance in a book! So, another proud Mama gets both of her kids in books too! I just can’t wait to hold the finished product in my hands! Looks like I’ll have to wait until later this year. No worries though, I will let you know when it hits the shelves!!!
Smiles to all!!!

Annual Cousins’ Pics
Jun 20th
This is one tricky crew – let’s see…a nearly 4 year old, twin 2.5 year olds, a one year old, and a four month old! And, you want to know what’s really funny – the four month old was watching me – it was the others that got tricky. Mind you – that’s not always the case. I had a blast – but boy, it sure will be nice when they are all old enough to bribe a bit. That’s right, you heard it here first, I am NOT above bribery to get the shots I want! They are all so adorable and so full of personality! Jake and Lauren are my easy ones now (they like to play and pose for me – most of the time). Michael – well, he’s a bit like his Daddy – so, if he’s in the mood – great, but it’s all about getting him to play along. And, Denny is pretty used to me, but with all the other activity, it was a bit too exciting. And, Ryan, well, luckily – he didn’t go anywhere on us, but I think we wore out his patience with us by the end! Here are just a few quick ones for a sneak peek! More to come!!!
Oh my – one thing completed! Baby Cooper (and Carly too!)
Jun 15th
“Hugs and Love for Mama” edited with a vintage flair…
Cooper’s going to have fun pulling Sissy’s hair – and look how well Carly is putting up with it!
I think Carly is as amazed as I am that I finally finished these edits! So much to edit…so little time!
Every have times when you think you may NEVER catch up again. Well, that’s how I feel lately. I’m so thankful for the patience of my fabulous clients. I actually managed to finish one entire session today! Baby Cooper’s 3 month pictures are officially all in his gallery and ready for proofing!! Go for it Abby – I hope you find tons you love. Cooper and Carly are certainly two of the cutest things on this planet! You and Bobby make a good team!
ENJOY! I’m going to sleep now – and tomorrow – more edits!!!
