The Mark White Band

I had the opportunity to do something a bit different than we usually do. I really do love weddings and engagements, but shooting a band... yes, a band... was so much fun! The Mark White Band is a local Christian band here in the Detroit area who recently signed with a record label and will be releasing their first album come January. All the guys are so nice, and it was great to get to know them better and get some photos for them to use in their album. You will be seeing them again come December on here, since I will be shooting Josh's, the drummer, wedding then.

Here is a slideshow with one of their songs as the music used, and also a couple of my favorites.

Congrads on the signing and good luck in the future... it was a pleasure!

Experimenting with a new look, I think it works for some images... but I definitely want to keep the consistency of Veldman Photo look.

Chloe (4 years old)

Chloe was such a cute lil' girl! She LOVED the camera, so I had to catch her when she wasn't posing. But she was the sweetest little girl... and full of smiles!

Here are some of my favorites and a slideshow.

David & Kelly Engaged!

David and Kelly are two of the sweetest and down to earth people. Both of them are so smiley, and when I first met with them we totally hit it off. Turns out Kelly works the same place as Todd... what a small world! I had such a great time hanging out the first time when we met, and their engagements were just as fun. I can't wait for their wedding next fall.

Here are some of my favorites and their slideshow.

Brooklyn & Davie (3 & 2 years old)

Brooklyn & Davie are sweet kids and as you can tell are sooo cute as well!

Here is a quick slideshow and a couple that really made me laugh and smile! I realize just how much attention span kids have. I think I can relate to them as I'm so A.D.D as well. Ha!

This one CRACKS me up... Ha!

Brehm

Brehm is a 7 month old cute as a button lil' boy. My heart melted taking these photos as he has these big eyes and cute smile, when we got him to smile! He was more interested in eating leaves... but we were able to get a few! He even looks cute crying, although he doesn't cry much. He just wasn't enjoying the grass... I don't blame him I was getting itchy too! Ha!

Thanks for the great shoot Brehm... it was so great meeting you! (Thanks Brandi!)

Here's a slideshow of just a few... and a couple favs of mine.

Jeff & Stephanie: Wedding

If you remember Jeff & Stephanie from their engagements, which I loved because their interaction with each other was so sweet and genuine, you will know that their wedding was nothing but sweet and just breathtaking. Stephanie was absolutely beautiful and Jeff was handsome as well. They two together were such a stunning couple. The ceremony was filled with their faith and their love, and the day was just beautiful! I was a bit nervous because it poured the night before... but not a drop the day of! Their wedding party was so fun... lots of support and smiles came from them which made it even more of a great day!

Congrads you two! I hope Cabo was amazing! Todd and I wish you both nothing but the BEST!

Here is the slideshow and some of my favorites from the day...

Sad Days...

So my sister, brother in law, and niece left this morning... and it's so lonely here now. Luckily I have a lot of stuff to get finished and will keep myself busy with that. But it was SOOOO nice having them here, especially seeing how much Lil' B has grown. She is so great! I can't wait until Christmas to see her again and see how much she's grown.

I'm not the only one that misses them already. My brother in law brought up their dog Berra, which believe it or not I didn't take any photos of the two of them. What was I thinking? I'm not sure. But I know Maddox had fun having a play mate. I hope he's not too big at Christmas for them to play again. Ha!

Poor Mad misses them already! Can't you tell?!
