If you asked me what my favorite season was to photograph in, it would be hard for me to answer! They are all wonderful for different reasons. However, there is something special about spring…the excitement and energy of everyone emerging from the winter slumber…the excitement for the green, the warmth and of course, the flowers! […]

When I set out to photograph a wedding, I am not just shooting to shoot. Or shooting to provide a few good profile photos. I am shooting to tell a story- the story of a momentous day in a couple’s lives. Increasingly, when I chat with couples in initial consultations, we talk not only about […]

A long time ago, I used to have a studio and photograph newborns in baskets and props. We would try for hours to get newborn babies to sleep and snuggle perfectly for photos. But after awhile, it felt mean! A baby, just days old, being crammed into a bowl or other prop just didn’t sit […]

Tis the season for grad photos! April is always so exciting for a photographer. It almost feels like coming out of hibernation after a long winter. The flowers are starting to bloom, the leaves on the trees are starting to pop, and at MSU, the champagne is starting to be sprayed! I love shooting graduation […]

When Jadyn and Marc booked me for their wedding, they had already had an engagement session…in Italy! However, it was a year earlier and they confessed, all of their things had been stolen during the session when they set them down on the ground to take photos, so a second round of engagement photos sounded […]

She chose to wear a wine colored dress, which really […]

Let’s face it- engagement photos feel awkward! That’s one of the benefits to doing them- you won’t feel as awkward on your wedding day, right? To combat some of that awkwardness and to make things feel as comfortable as possible, these two chose to have their engagement session at their beautiful home in Grosse Pointe. […]

One of the cutest accessories a couple can bring to their engagement session is their puppy! Last summer, I spent an evening on beautiful Belle Isle in Detroit with these two and their corgi! They hugged him, cuddled him, kissed him, and those big corgi eyes gave me some of my favorite photos ever! I’m […]

Let’s face it- the economy is not the bet right now! With that, couples are always looking for ways to save on their wedding expenses. One way couples can do that, is by choosing a venue where everything can be held in one location- getting ready, portraits, ceremony, and reception. The Saint John’s Resort in […]

S + J wanted to have their engagement photos taken at a location that was meaningful to them: the place they met, their home! Not too many couples can say they met at the home they live in, but that’s exactly what happened with these two. J had a Fourth of July party at the […]
