August 23rd marked the one year anniversary of Gabi saying “Yes!” to forever with Arthur, and they decided to celebrate the occasion with a gorgeous picnic anniversary session at the very spot he proposed. Swoon! I just love these two so much! If you’re a frequent visitor of my blog, Gabi and Arthur probably look […]

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 […]

I don’t know about you, but I am personally so happy that Spring finally seems to be here to stay. You never quite know what you’re going to get with April in Michigan. Could be sunshine. Could be snow. Usually lots of rain. But here we are, not quite May yet, and the trees are […]

I decided to do something a little different on the blog today… I’m posting only black & white images from this session! I know, sounds crazy, right? But I personally adore black and white images. By eliminating color, your eyes can better focus on the subject and the emotion of an image. Don’t get me […]

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 […]

Happy 2021, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. It’s hard to believe that such a difficult and strange year has come and gone. Despite many challenges, this year still blessed me with opportunities to share in some special wedding days, and to capture some beautiful memories. I thought it would be […]

These posts are typically fairly difficult to write. Pre-engagement session, we might email back and forth with a client a few times, learn more about them via social media, and then spend an hour or so chatting as we finally take their photos. It can be difficult to learn enough about them to eloquently tell […]

Last night, we had the makings of an absolutely perfect woodsy nature trail engagement session! Beautiful weather, gorgeous surroundings, and a super fun couple. Alana and Chris have been together for fourteen years, and are officially tying the knot on their anniversary this September! After hanging out and getting to know them better, I cannot […]

Love is not canceled. In light of all that has happened in 2020, I feel this is an important reminder. Concerts, festivals, and events of all kinds are being postponed or canceled. But love? Love is definitely not canceled. If you’re a bride or groom that has had to change their 2020 weddings plans, I […]

This Glass House Community styled shoot was an absolute dream! My good friend and colleague, Sam from Samantha Joy Photo, started dreaming up this shoot a couple months ago. She had a vision, a color palette, and her grandma’s china, and the rest just took off from there. I don’t know how she does it. […]
