If you like honest, real moments, I'm your girl

October has been madness! But the kind of mad that’s good. Lots of session and lots of good weather, HALLELUJAH! I met these beauties at Indian Springs Metropark, which I’ve never been to before. I love walking into a new location; it gives me fresh ideas, new perspectives, and fuels my creativity. Great weather + beautiful family + cool style […]

Within three days, we had their wedding booked and engagement shoot done. THAT is a first!! I’m so happy it all worked out because they are two amazing humans and I can’t wait for the wedding next year! Kelley and Lindsay…

It’s supposed to be autumn, but it still looks and feels like summer! I Love Michigan fall AND summer! So not complaining! It’s fummer! Or Sautumn! Take your pick! I’m excited to share one of my favorite families with you today. Happy Monday all!

Engagement session was a dream, so needless to say I’m dying for the wedding day. Hey world, it’s the incredibly fun and beautiful Dean and Taylor! Special thanks to the Detroit Foundation Hotel for providing us with a super cool location to capture Dean and Taylor’s awesomeness.

Congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs Jacob! Detroit continues to delight me with all of it’s dang awesome photogenic locations. We went to one of my favorites, Eastern Market, and then headed to a first for me, the Loft (which was AMAZE). I’m so honored to be a part of their day!! XOXO

Ahhh it has been a beautiful fall here in Michigan. It feels more like a Michigan summer, but I’ll take it! Chris and Kate, it was so much fun photographing you and I can’t wait for the wedding day! Enjoy!

It’s pretty wild to meet little babes when they are just a few days old, and then the next time you see them, they are walking (kind of talking) little humans! I loved everything about our wild, funny, happy, adventurous session and the Edsel Ford House in Grosse Pointe was an amazing backdrop! Have an […]
