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

Hopelessly, I’ll love you endlessly. Enjoy these dreamy humans in the most dreamy location 🙂

If you know me, you know I love to laugh. I also love to photograph pretty people…in pretty light…in pretty places. JACKPOT IN ALL FOUR AREAS with these two!!! I had a fantastic evening with Matt and Lauren at the Cranbrook House in Bloomfield Hills. Can’t wait for the wedding!

TWO WEEKS and I get to photograph their wedding! Yes, they were absolutely amazing to work with, in case you were wondering. SO EXCITED!!!

I haven’t figured out why New York City feels so magical when shooting. Chad and Bri are moving on from New York soon, so it felt kinda perfect that we documented some of their favorite places in the West Village. Beautiful evening, beautiful people. Can’t wait for the wedding! Special thanks to Brittni Schroeder for […]

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…

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.

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!
