The MSU campus is the most stunning back drop for photos in Mid-Michigan. The Horticulture Gardens are a favorite of mine! This was the third time I photographed these two- first at their engagement session, second at their wedding, and this time for their maternity session! It is always so special and humbling to be able to capture life’s biggest moments for a couple and family. Here are some of my favorite’s from their summer photo session on the beautiful campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing.

My first full time week back from maternity leave has been a busy one with 6 portrait shoots, multiple wedding consults, an album design, timelines and now, gearing up for the first wedding of the year and 5 more portrait shoots! I am thrilled to be back and connecting with clients old and new! It was especially nice to have a session with these two- I photographed Haley and Derek’s engagement session and wedding, so I felt especially honored when they asked me to photograph their maternity and newborn photos! It’s always a humbling feeling when you are chosen to photograph a family’s life milestones. Can’t wait to meet their baby girl in June!

We photographed their session on the campus of MSU. The spring blooms are GORGEOUS on campus this time of year! I absolutely love how they turned out and here are some of my favorites!
