The Faces Behind the Name

 

My name is Michaela Blanding, and my fiancé Ryan Byrd and I are very excited to start this new venture. I am a full-time student at Purdue University and a full-time Mommy to our sweet Ellen Tressa, but I am adding this as a part-time career as a way to support our family and make a difference in the world. God has a plan for us, and we believe this is what we are being called to do. #ByrdsEyePhoto

The Kottkamp Girls!

Haddie and Kylie are the sweetest sisters ever! The love they have for one another reminds me of my sister and I when we were little. Kylie loves everything that Big Sis Haddie loves, it is precious. I hope they always stay close. Brady and Kayla, you have raised amazing little girls!

Love,

Charleigh is 3 Months Old!

Miss. Charleigh is an absolute blessing and so is her amazing family! We loved working with the Clark’s and cannot wait to take more photos of this hilarious bunch. Aimee and Chuck, you guys have a lot to be proud of!

Bentley is {TWO}!

Bentley is the cutest little boy ever! When asked to take his 2 year photos by his Mom, Brittney, we were delighted. Once we got to the session we found out Bentley was going to be a big brother in October and we can’t wait to take newborn photos (isn’t Brittney’s little baby bump adorable?). Bentley is going to play the role of being Big Brother very well. We are very excited for T.R, Brittney and Bentley. Here are few of our favorites from this awesome session!

Minniear’s on the Beach!

This adorable couple just happen to be my Grandpa and Grandma. Sadly, they are spending the next four months in Florida for cancer treatment. About three months ago my grandpa was diagnosed with prostate cancer. As close-knit as our family is, it has been hard on all of us having them 1,000 miles away. But together we are strong and as my Grandma would say, “we have God on our side”, which I wholeheartedly believe to be true.

We were blessed to spend our whole spring break with them in Florida, and of course we had to take photos to capture these special memories together.

Prayers for my Grandpa and Grandma and our whole family are greatly appreciated. In the mean time, look at the smile on their faces!

Garcia’s on the Beach!

For spring break this year, we had the pleasure of going to Sarasota, Siesta Key, Florida. While we were there we took a beach session of the soon-to-be Garcia’s. It was a blast practicing on the beach!

Glitter Session!

We LOVE glitter; okay, you got me – I LOVE glitter (Ryan, not so much). With that being said, when my mentor asked me if I wanted to do a glitter photo shoot, of course I said YES!

Here’s a look at how our glitter fun turned out! Special thank you, to our beautiful model, Maddie!
