Yesterday’s Bay Pointe Inn wedding was a photographer’s dream. Gorgeous venue. Lots of sunshine. Super sweet couple. And a really fun wedding party. Plus, I was shooting with one of my really good friends, Jenna, from Jenna Rose Photography. Thanks so much for having me along! One of my favorite moments of every wedding celebration […]

Wedding days are simultaneously exciting, romantic, fun, and sometimes bittersweet for us photographers. Gabi and Arthur’s beautiful black tie wedding was definitely all of those things.

If you don’t like beautiful people, gorgeous flowers, bright colors, or delicious treats, this post might not be for you. But if you do, keep scrolling because I have SO much to share with you!

I say it all the time, but I just have the absolute best clients. This capitol building engagement session is literally what a photographer’s dreams are made of! Not only is the historic building a stunning backdrop, but it actually means something to Gabi and Arthur. This gorgeous Lansing landmark is where the two of […]

When Sheila from Copper & Lace event rentals reached out about a boho terracotta themed styled shoot she was putting together at Venue3Two asking if I wanted to participate, my answer was an immediate “Yes!” Venue3Two is one of my favorites here in West Michigan. The long list of other incredible vendors collaborating to bring […]

If you’re anything like me, you’re happy that Michigan has seen temps well into the forties all this week. Honestly, I couldn’t be more ready for the arrival of spring. However, I am incredibly thankful we were able to squeeze this winter sweetheart session in while there was still some snow on the ground. Nothing […]
