My New Blogsite

I just wanted to inform everyone that I will no longer be posting to this blog. I have combined my blog and website into a new Blogsite. Don't worry...I have imported all of the posts from this blog to the new one. You can find it at my website address www.MichelleStiglets.com

I hope you all enjoy it!

Where is my website????

If you logged onto MichelleStiglets.com you will notice that it is not there anymore. I will be switching over to a Blogsite instead of my old website. Once it is complete you will notice a big change. Hopefully you will like it better!

What is a blogsite??? It is just as the name implies, a blog that also acts as a website. I will no longer be using this blog after its completion. I loved my website but I NEVER updated it. I always updated the blog instead. It just made sense to combine the two into one. I will have all of the information that you need there, as well as, current posts of all of my latest sessions. The pictures will be much bigger and the comments section much more readily accessable.

I will let everyone know when it is ready! Thanks for your patience...hopefully it won't be too long!

One From Today...More To Come

Here is a cute one from today...How Adorable is she?!?! More to come later...

Future Photographer???

I took these pictures of my little Luke the other day...He was so cute playing with the old camera. He asked me how to turn it on! After he let me take a couple of pictures we went on a "Photo Safari" through the house. We had a great time taking pictures of imaginary animals together. 3 is such a fun age, exhausting, but fun!

Enjoy!

Fletcher...My Recent Inspiration

I got to spend Saturday morning with little Fletcher for his 2 year portraits. I can't believe how much he has grown over the past 2 years! I have had so much fun photographing him since he was a bump in his mom's tummy. As usual, he was an inspiration to me. When I got home and I was going through his pictures I just loved the colors and tones in the photographs...needless to say, it got me thinking about the face lift that my blog has been needing. I decided to go with it and changed the look of the blog. I hope that you all like the changes!

Fletcher is going to have a new baby brother this winter. I am so excited and can't wait to start photographing him as well!!! Brooke and Paul, thank you for letting me document your growing family, it really is an honor!

Enjoy!

Adorable Austin

This is precious little Austin. He is so adorable! We spent the morning at the Arboretum a couple of weeks ago to photograph him for his one year portrait. (Yep, I am still trying to catch up!) I can't believe he is one already!!! Anyway, Austin has such beautiful blue eyes. I had to post most of them in color...I just couldn't turn them to black and white! They are such a bright blue as you can see below. They blow me away. He is a little ham too.

It was great to see you guys again...I will see you soon!

Little Addison

Here is another "catch-up" post...

Meet little Addison. She is such a cutie pie!!! I was so excited to meet her. I have been photographing her big sister for a few years now and it was great to get to photograph the newest addition.

We did some studio shots and we also used my little garden at my new house. I love the way they turned out. The bird bath, tree and ivy all look so cute with the girls in them.

I couldn't resist a couple of her big sister too...I love the last one...it is so summertime!

Enjoy!

The Houghton Family

OK, now for some catch up posting!

This family is so amazing! I always have a great time photographing them. I feel so fortunate to have been present to photograph their two youngest children's births. I photographed them again at the end of June. Their oldest son just graduated from Highland Park and was about to head out to do his Mission work so we did a quick family session before he left.

Congratulations Stephen! I know your parents are SO proud of you! I look forward to seeing you again. Best Wishes for your future!!

Where Have I Been???

Many of you know that we recently moved. We love our new home and are finally settled in! It was certainly a long process for all of us, at least as far as the pool went. I won't bore you with the details but the short version is that the deck around the pool had to be dug up twice. We finally got a sparkling pool out of it though. We are all enjoying it very much...next project...the landscaping (and patio furniture!!!)

I thought I would share some "during" and a couple "after" pictures...check out my adorable little worker:)

BEAUTIFUL, YEAH, RIGHT!



MY LITTLE LUKE...HE LOVES TO HELP!
FINALLY, CLEAN, SPARKLING WATER!
I LIKE TO CALL THIS LAST ONE "SUBURBIA." YES, THOSE ARE MY FEET! I WAS DOING MY VERSION OF THE PHOTOS MY MOM TOOK WHEN I WAS LITTLE AND SWIMMING IN THE POOL...HER TOES WERE ALWAYS IN THE SHOT (SORRY MOM BUT IT'S TRUE!)

More Little Baby Urban and His Parents...

Here are a few of my favorites from my session with the Urban's and their new baby boy. They are an amazing family already! Their house is so full of love. Even though this is their first baby, they are such relaxed parents. There is such a sense of calm in their home. I am sure all parents out there can relate to the fact that bringing home baby is never quite like you think it is going to be...a little more stressful than you imagined. Not in their home though. If they are stressed out you would never know it and it shows in their very sweet, calm baby.

Thank you for a WONDERFUL session. You guys are awesome parents! Your little one is so lucky to have you guys as his Mom and Dad.

Enjoy!


Check out Murphy the dog getting in on the action...




Murphy handing out his kisses too...he is so funny!

Little Baby Urban

Today I spent a wonderful afternoon with the Urban's and their new baby boy. I has been a week and a half since his birth and I have been anxiously waiting to getting to meet him. He is SO precious! All 10 pounds of him, yes I said 10 pounds! He was such a good boy. He let me pose him any which way and didn't even cry.

Congratulations Cheryl and Michael! You have a beautiful son. I can't wait to photograph him some more!

Stay tuned for more pictures with his parents...Enjoy!
