Kayla and Kourtney have been two of my favorite models for a long time and I am so excited they are seniors this year.  I have done a couple of senior sessions with these two beautiful young ladies and had a blast with them one morning in South Haven, Michigan.  I could hardly wait to get home and and download them because I knew we got some awesome shots.  These are some of my favorites.

Here is the winner of the fresh faces contest.

I had a chance to get the kids out for some portraits the other day and just have to share these..

With summer already here and fall right around the corner I want to get some "fresh faces" for my portfolio and marketing materials.  I am bursting at the seams with new ideas and need some "fresh faces".  I was thinking that a contest will be just perfect for this occasion.  I am looking for children that are good at following directions, want to play dress up and willing to get down and dirty while I get some awesome portraits.

Do you think you have the cutest kid in Southwest Michigan?  If so keep reading…

Do you think your kid the cutest kid on the block?  Of course you do, but you are going to have to work for it!  The first thing you are going to have to do is become a facebook fan of Sweet Life Photography, Follow Me on Twitter and leave a comment on my blog.   Then send me your most adorable photo of your child (non-professional of course) and explain why you think he or she would be the perfect addition to my portfolio.  I am looking for children that are outgoing, respond well to directions and are photogenic.  (All kids are photogenic arn't they)
