Korrah {Kids Lifestyle}

Jamie Brokus Fox - Color Splash Studio — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 06:13:30 +0000

Korrah is the cutest little girl and we had the best time doing her 9 month photos! Her mother made her an adorable tutu so she was the ultimate rockstar in her sneakers and bright poppin’ colors.

Especially love this! She’s checking the time telling me my time is up!

Van Horn Family Fun

Jamie Brokus Fox - Color Splash Studio — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:17:03 +0000

A super fun morning spent with the Van Horn family in South Haven. The weather has been so hot so thankfully we got a very nice, overcast morning for our photos. These girls are so much fun and full of ideas. Little Tristan was so tired when we finished up with his sisters dragging him all over. These boys are definitely outnumbered!!

And the super, adorable little Rylee. She’s small, but boy is she mighty!

Had a great time with you guys! I LOVE to capture families having fun together!

Congratulations Dara + Craig

Our Partnership With Wish Bone Pet Rescue

Jamie Brokus Fox - Color Splash Studio — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 18:23:37 +0000

Jamie Brokus of Color Splash Studio is partnering with Wish Bone Pet Rescue in an effort to raise awareness in finding loving homes for pets in needs. “I have a huge passion for animals,” says Brokus, “I have a rescue animal of my own and would love to see as many animals as possible go to loving homes.” Brokus will be photographing featured pets each month who are up for adoption and the photos will be on display in the adjoining entrance way of Color Splash Studio and State Farm Insurance on Trowbridge Street. Along with the photo display this space will also serve as a donation site for food pantry items for Wish Bone. Color Splash Studio will be offering a $25 print credit with any donation for Wish Bone’s food pantry program. In addition to the photos being used by Wish Bone to help get pets adopted, the new pet owners will also receive a free portrait of their new pet. “We are so excited to partner with a local business in an effort to raise awareness of our organization. Allegan is our backyard and many people are unaware of our pet rescue. Jamie has such an amazing eye and people will be overjoyed to have professional photos by her,” says Susan Smith of Wish Bone. Brokus plans to start with the portraits for now, but possibly expand into offering pet greeting cards and an album of adopted pet stories with a portion of the proceeds being donated to Wish Bone. “The most enjoyable and relaxing thing for me to photograph is animals,” says Brokus, “why not use that outlet to assist a local organization looking to raise more funding and awareness?”

Based in the Saugatuck area, Wish Bone’s goal is to provide rescue and rehabilitation services to animals in need, as well as public education about subjects such as spaying and neutering, breeding, and neglect. Their greatest wish is to provide hope and alternatives for abused and abandoned animals, and greatly reduce the number of future cases. You can learn more about the organization at www.wishbonepetrescue.com

Cassie
4 year old Female Flat Coat Retriever Mix
45 lbs
Current in Vaccinations, Spayed, Micro-chipped

Sweet Girl! Loves attention and will give kisses endlessly. Enjoys riding in a car, chewing on nyla bones, and a romp with fellow dog companions. Excellent with cats. Very sensitive soul, good with absolutely everyone, both two and four legged.

Cassie was a constant companion to her elderly owner who developed Altzheimers. Walks well on a leash, fully house broken. Does not have any bad habits in the home. Does chase wildlife, so she needs a fenced yard. No electric fences. Would benefit from basic obedience so that she can be trusted off leash. She has worked hard in her short life being a caregiver for her elderly owner. Wishbone is looking for a companion family for Cassie, not a family that will require her to be main caretaker. Grooming Care: Daily brushing if possible. Long thick coat. Loves to be brushed. Does shed.

Martin
5 year old Male Rat Terrier
15 lbs.
Current in Vaccinations, Neutered, Micro-chipped

Energetic! Loves to play and RUN and would be great at agility or as a running companion. Want a cuddler? Martin enjoys a good cuddle on the couch or bed. Martin wants to always please!

Needs a fenced yard, no electric fences. No small children since Martin does do mouth play and could be misunderstood as a bite.

Gets along with most dogs after initial introduction. Will play with dogs if it does not get too aggressive. Good with cats, but will do a chase if cats run.

Likes to chew, will grab clothes or bedding if able. Will chew nyla bones for entertainment. Fully house trained and walks well on a leash. Would benefit from a basic dog obedience class. Grooming Care: Very short coat, little brushing needed. Toe nails do require regular trimming.

The wonderful Susan and Michelle of Wish Bone. I had such a wonderful time with these ladies. The time and energy they put into caring for animals is just awesome!

Stephanie + Ryan: I Do!

Jamie Brokus Fox - Color Splash Studio — Wed, 26 May 2010 18:32:42 +0000

What a fabulous day with Stephanie and Ryan. This couple is so adorable, laid back and cute! Ryan’s face must have hurt at the end of the day from smiling so much. He watched Stephanie with adoration the entire day. While in The Kirby he stood staring at her as she was talking with her friends and pulled his eyes away and said, “Look at me. I’m just mesmerized by her.” I had the most fun day following them around and capturing their day. Ryan proposed on the Grand Haven beach so we had some fun in the sand there as it ended up turning out to be a foggy day, and every little pink detail was in place for the reception at Porto Bello. I’m very happy for them to start their married lives together and can’t thank them enough for having me be part of their wedding day!

Everyone hanging out having a good time at The Kirby downtown Grand Haven before heading over to the reception. Love seeing these girls who have been best friends for life having such a good time and toasting Stephanie.

Oh just a tiny few of the candid shots of the wedding guests. I LOVE capturing people’s expressions.

A girl after my own heart with the pink candy buffet!

Lovely flowers done by Posh Petals.

Senior Year + Best Friends Forever

Had a great time taking pics of Anna and her best buddy Meghan. They were an absolute riot! We rocked out some old cars and chairs and climbed around outside and then took things in the studio and got super goofy. Had a great time with you girls!

Puppy Love

Jamie Brokus Fox - Color Splash Studio — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 02:15:26 +0000

Some weekend fun with the animals! If it isn’t obvious, I absolutely love animals!!! This puppy is the cutest dog ever, so full of personality, and he and the cats are best buddies! I love to watch how animals interact and take care of each other. They may not speak, but they sure say so much through what they do. Makes me wonder sometimes, if I did not speak I might be more careful about what I do. Animals don’t have a chance to justify through words, actions are all they have so it’s neat to see what they say.:)

Hmmmm, not so sure about you with that camera….

This is a z-donk (zebra/donkey). I love the country. This is my idea of photo walking! Some people like fire hydrants and beat up alley ways, but I just love nature!

These are my little cousins. They are just too cute. Typical boys being boys. Sweet and innocent here, until they crashed to the ground!

Just before Christmas I was invited by my friend Tara Kuhnlein to come on Take Five and talk about creative ways to display and give photos as gifts. What a fun experience! Check out the video below and the items I came up with:

Jen + Chris: Welcome Baby Cadel

Jamie Brokus Fox - Color Splash Studio — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 04:46:15 +0000

It was a wonderful evening seeing all the love between this precious family as Jen and Chris welcomed the long awaited Cadel. They have been long awaiting the adoption of a child, and baby Cadel came as surprise. Cadel Emerson Conrad was born Sept. 30, 3:54 am, 6 lbs., 15 oz., 18 inches long. It was such a joy to be a part of this family interacting and all the love and happiness. I am so happy for the two of you and for your new family!!
