I’m looking for a part-time/full-time apprentice hopefully to start no later than June! If you know of anyone who really wants to become a photographer and wants the practical application/ knowledge this is a great opportunity. Instead of putting mucha dinero (lotsa money!) and several years into college, spend a year with me as an apprentice and either be able to go out on your own or continue working with me as an employee! Great opportunity for a graduating high school student or part-time college student or even a college graduate that wants some real-life experience! This is an non-paid apprenticeship with approximately 20-25 hours per week. Call for an interview! No real experience needed. Just a strong desire to work in the photographic community and basic computer skills. You will learn photography, management, photoshop, customer service and sales.
Wow. OK. So here we are in January and my last post was in June. Obviously not a great track record on that. One of my goals this year is to do much better in keeping in touch with my clients. The blog will be a part of that. 
This year will be bringing a ton of new things to Details, ETC! We will be introducing some spectacular Limited Edition Portrait Sessions!
We’ll be featuring LE’s (Limited Editions) such as Construction Kids, Romantic Chic, Cowboy Fun, Spring/ Summer Fairies, Springtime, and Making Faces. Best of All, these LE’s will be for kids 2-8 and with great pricing! Don’t miss out! Samples and more details coming soon!
Weddings, Engagements and More! Wow! Now is the time of year when the phone is really ringing for wedding bookings! It seems everyone gets engaged around the holidays and the wedding planning is in full force! If you are engaged now is the time to call to book your free consultation and reserve your wedding day!
I’m really excited about the changes in store for 2008!

AJ and Amy’s wedding was truly gorgeous! I know Amy is dying to see her images- I’m still chugging through them! So many! Here are a few I have finished that will whet her appetite.
It was my first visit to the Mayflower Church and what a beautiful location! The atrium is full of this wonderful light! It was great since we could have greenery even if it hadn’t been a beautiful day. After the ceremony the bridal party and I paid a visit to the grounds around the Ford Musuem. We had some fun images there and then the real party started! The Peninsular Club was truly a lovely venue for a reception and the food and music were wonderful! Not to mention the cake! You know I love great wedding cake!
AJ and Amy are blessed with loads of wonderful friends and family! Amy’s sister is also getting married this summer! I’m looking forward to checking out her wedding photos too as an old buddy of mine from college has the honor of working with her!
Amy’s wedding dress was truly to die for! Not any girl could pull off a dress like that! She is such and incredibly beautiful bride. Amy grew up here in Grand Rapids but her family currently lives in Chicago. AJ lives out of state as well so there was a lot of travel involved with most of the guests! They had both venues full of folks who came to support them and show their love. There was even a guest who flew in from Europe! Talk about friends and family that love you!
Enjoy the preview!

Ron and Rachel are such a wonderful couple. They are a lot of fun and truly love each other. Their relationship with Jehovah God is truly evident in their relationship with him and each other. Ron lives very far away (out of state) and each night they read the bible together over the phone. I think they said they are halfway through it together already! They are off to a great start to a great marriage! I’m so privileged to be a part of their wedding this summer! The wedding plans are in full swing and it sounds like its going to be wonderful! Its going to be at a great outdoor reception location and the UpAllNight Band will be there to keep the fun going and going!
Enjoy the sneak peek of a few selections from their engagement session! We had a great time downtown!

Well I was just getting ready to put this order together when I saw a post from Cadia & Carmen’s mommy that she wouldn’t mind if I put their pictures online. I was just thinking about that very thing. But I cant decide which one! There were 3 that I really liked of the two of them together. Help me decide!

After months of work I finally am ready to go live. Yesterday both the site and email were down for a good portion of the day. Talk about frustration! This morning I woke up and immediately went to my computer and there it was! The site is up. I think it looks pretty good. Some links need to be finished but I’m just waiting for my new hosting company/ design company to finish getting me all the info. Its early yet in the day so I need to be patient! Email is still down but hopefully will be up in the next hour or so….
Here is what the opening page on the site looks like…
There are/ will be 3 main links from this page. The broadband link is the standard weblink for any who have highspeed internet or patience on dialup. If you aren’t a patient person and you have dialup- go to the dialup side. The info is the same, it just isn’t as ‘pretty’!
Pretty soon I will have a very informational side up that will give lots of hints to choosing the right photographer for you. I’m still working on it but maybe in the next 2 weeks.

Join me in welcoming to the world sweet baby Zachary. Zachary has wonderful parents and beautiful brother and sister (they’re twins!). The whole family joined my ’studio family’ a couple weeks ago and here is their ‘favorite’ family image! I love it!

I’m so excited. I have been working on the website for months, in my spare time… (what spare time right?) but finally its enough done to at least go live. Check it out… If you find any glitches let me know!
Its still the same address at www.detailsetcphoto.com .. If you have ’ssloooooooow’ dialup, click on dialup- otherwise, check out the new broadband side. Very classy!
A few links might still not be active as I’m finalizing somethings but hopefully ASAP I will have this great classy and interactive site for you to feast your eyes on!

Every day I’m lucky enough to do not only what I love, but actually show people what love looks like! Isn’t that incredible?
So I thought I’d use this blog to show sneak peeks at what I do each week. And a little about me and mine too!
