Chelsea + Gary {Engaged}

Chelsea, Gary and their adorable pup Buck were so much fun to photograph! We hiked through the woods barefoot and got plenty muddy in the river. It was chilly but so beautiful! Chelsea and Gary have a lot of memories at the lake together so we launched the little boat and captured them fishing. I had such a blast with these two and I can’t wait for their wedding next September!

Lexi {Lake Michigan}

I was so excited when Matt and Caurey contacted me about doing photos of their family and their new little 3 month old Lexi. Caurey wanted to incorporate the beach into the photos and it couldn’t have turned out better! We had such a gorgeous morning in South Haven and little Winston had a blast digging holes in the sand on the beach. Lexi is an absolute doll. They could not be a sweeter family!

Sarah + Eric {Married}

It was a super hot and super fabulous day for Eric and Sarah’s wedding on Lake Michigan. Sarah and Eric were introduced to each other through one of Sarah’s long time friends, Hannah, and the wedding was on family property in Douglas, MI. It was so perfect as they cleared out the Dune Grass where the ceremony took place. Sarah was super chill and neither of them seemed too nervous at all, just ready to begin their lives together. They were super sweet and so fun. It was a pleasure to share their day!

Sara + Floyd {Married}

It was a lovely evening in Saugatuck as Sara and Floyd tied the knot at a private estate on Lake Michigan. A small, intimate ceremony with family made the celebration relaxing and enjoyable. It was great to be a part of their special day and I am also looking forward to their reception this fall.

Carter 6 Months {Kids}

Carter is growing up to be quite the little man! He wasn’t quite so sure about his first experience in the grass. It wasn’t really his favorite! It was pretty funny to see him raise his feet like he was terrified of it! Had a great time – he’s always so happy and full of smiles.

Liz + Ryan {Engaged}

I had such a fabulous time getting to know Liz and Ryan over our junkyard session.:) They are the sweetest couple and so is their pup!! A great time was had by all exploring the ruins and discovering new things. I’m so excited for them and to be a part of their wedding in July! Congratulations!

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!

Collen + Frank: Happily Ever After

Jamie Brokus Fox - Color Splash Studio — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:49:27 +0000

What a fun and laid back wedding with so much charm shot with Dusty Brown! Collen and Frank are such a suave couple and were so much fun. Collen was the most laid back and relaxed bride ever! She was calming everyone else down. The Felt Mansion in Saugatuck was a great location with victorian decor behind every door.
