One of the first questions brides ask me after booking is what Grand Rapids engagement session locations I recommend. Michigan is truly a beautiful place so your options are seemingly endless! The first thing you should determine is the “vibe” you want for your session. Are you outdoorsy, nature-type people? If so, I’d recommend a […]

One decision engaged couples must make while wedding planning is whether or not they would like an engagement session. Some may be wondering “what exactly is an engagement session?” Good question! Couples often confuse “engagement sessions” with photographs of the actual proposal, or assume that they must take place within a certain time frame after […]

This trip had been in the works for months, but when Melissa and Joel announced their engagement in December, I just had to talk them into a Savannah engagement session. I’m so glad they obliged! Capturing their love for each other was an honor. We had the most stunning day in a setting straight out […]

I cannot believe this little peanut is one! I still remember going to meet him for the first time like it was just last week. You may remember Isaiah’s blog debut a couple months back. We’ve since been trying to get together for a “first birthday” photo shoot, but have had to reschedule due to […]

I usually do not blog weddings that I’ve done working as a second-shooter for another photographer; however, I had to make an exception for this absolutely gorgeous, historic mansion wedding at Venue3Two. Every detail was complete perfection. I just know this Pinterest-worthy wedding will be an inspiration to anyone planning their own wedding! It’s certainly […]

Picking out my favorite photos is always easy, but these blog posts are always a bit challenging to write. Trying to tell the story of a couple you don’t know well and do it justice is no easy task. I would argue, though, that telling the story of someone you know very well is even […]

I first met Dominique at a bridal show I recently attended at City Flats. She and her fiancé, Tyler, won my giveaway, and we had been trying to make this autumn engagement session happen for quite some time now. FOUR reschedules due to rain, rain, and more rain this month! I couldn’t believe it! I’ve […]

Meggan and Brent are two of the kindest, most hard-working people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Meggan recently graduated vet school, and she and her now husband breed goats! If you’ve been a follower of mine for a while, you may remember their adorable, goat-filled engagement session from last fall! For the last two […]

Katelyn is my latest Hastings High School grad-to-be, and we had a blast at her colorful downtown senior session! From bold earrings to vibrant murals, we had fun pops of color throughout the entire shoot. I just loved Katelyn’s style! Since her very first e-mail, I’ve been looking forward to working with her. She radiates […]

I adore horses. I definitely did not grow up in the country or around horses, so I’m not sure where my love of them came from. Despite my urban upbringing, I would love to have my very own horse someday. I’ve always thought that not only did I grow up in the wrong era, but […]
