our most recent work

This weekend I took over 2,000 photos and had 3 engagement sessions and 3 family portrait sessions! This is a typical weekend for a photographer in October. We photographers joke that October for us is just like April for accountants….every one would like a service at the same time and so we have to jam […]

I can’t believe my last blog post was a year and a half ago…In normal times a year a half may see little change. However, in 2020, this past year and a half will be one of the most memorable in history. There is a pandemic and the entire world shut down for months. The […]

Aren’t Mallory and Jon the cutest?? We had an absolutely gorgeous (but a tad chilly!) fall day for their engagement photos on the north campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing. People are often scared to wait and do their photos the first two weekends of November, but I swear, those two weekends always […]

Since Annie and Austin both attended MSU and even got engaged on Michigan State’s campus, it was only fitting for them to have their engagement photos taken there. We started at the arboretum and then made our way over to Beaumont Tower. I love how these turned out, and can’t wait until their wedding at […]

Southern Exposure Herb Farm might possibly be one of the most gorgeous properties that I have ever photographed at! It was beautifully rustic, with well cared for grounds and stunning florals. There were greenhouses and antiques and chandeliers. I mean, to say it was a photographer’s dream is an understatement. Funny enough, neither Michael and […]

So, I found a new favorite place to shoot! The MSU Arboretum has so many great spots for photos including a stunning English garden! I can’t believe that I lived in East Lansing for 10 years AND attended MSU as a student, and had no idea the Arboretum existed! I even frequently visited the Children’s […]

Ahhh….spring is finally here! I LOVE spring, and funny enough, it seems to be a season that is overlooked by couples planning their engagement session. So many opt for summer or fall, but spring is so gorgeous with all of the tulips, flowering magnolias, and cherry blossoms! The only hard part is guessing when they […]

Who would have thought that all three of my January and February shoots would have been in the 50s in winter in MICHIGAN?? These two flew in from Seattle to have their engagement photos taken at Michael’s alma mater (the University of MIchigan), and were pretty surprised to find Ann Arbor warmer than Seattle! Anyhow, […]

Mallory and Mike chose to have their engagement photos taken in downtown Plymouth, MI. I had never been before, and it was ADORABLE! Like as in I started looking at housing in the car after the shoot 🙂 . I’m SO happy Mallory and Mike introduced me to Plymouth, and am thrilled with how the […]

Dogs at photo shoots might be the cutest thing ever….look at that tongue!! Keri + Morgan were such troupers…it started raining about 15 minutes into their shoot, and they kept going, just happy to be together and enjoying the shoot. We started off at a boardwalk, and then ended up at the harbor…even, though it […]
