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 […]

If winter is your favorite season…. or Frozen is your favorite movie…. this ice castle anniversary session is for you! Before I say anything else, I have to say thank you to this incredible couple. Katie and Matt, THANK YOU for being so brave and participating in this session with us! Y’all, it was COLD. […]

A few days ago, I got to use my brand new Canon R6 at a fun styled shoot put together by my friend Sam from Samantha Joy Photography. I’m so excited to share this shoot with you! 2020 was a tough year to be a creative in the wedding industry. With so many events put […]

This past Saturday, I had the honor of capturing a rustic, yet elegant, campground wedding that was fourteen years in the making. Yes, Alana and Chris tied the knot on their fourteenth anniversary! So amazing! Alana first contacted me this past spring, a few months into COVID. While a lot of wedding planning was very […]

I don’t even know where to begin. This wedding was an absolute fairytale! Last Saturday, my beautiful little sister married her very own prince charming. (And I swear, him being in his army blues made him look even more prince-like!) I have never seen Marissa smile as much as she has since Paul came into […]

When Marissa and Paul got engaged in July and announced they wanted to get married in September, we weren’t sure if we would be able to do “all the wedding things” in such a short period of time. Luckily she has a wonderful sister-in-law that does event planning! Emma, this backyard garden themed bridal shower […]
