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

Earthy, bohemian, nature. John and Danielle, you are speaking my language! When I photographed their engagement session last fall, I knew their wedding day would be incredible. Northern Michigan boasts some of the most gorgeous scenery and quaint little towns you have ever seen. So I was thrilled when Danielle told me their wedding would […]

After living in the western United States for most of my life, and then living in Michigan for the last ten years, I’ve noticed a trend in photography and weddings. The western side of our great nation seems to have more of a bohemian, carefree style, and the midwest and east coast leans more towards […]

Helllooooo Santa Barbara, California! Why didn’t anyone tell me about this quaint, gorgeous little town?? I spent a few days in SB for the NAPCP photography retreat.

We met Jorge while Travis was in grad school and pretty much just wanted to adopt him into our family from day one. Incredible guy. When we got the email from Jorge that he was engaged, we went all “big sibling” and wanted to know who this Melody person was and if she was good […]

I fully understand there are a lot of images following these words. But, I couldn’t help it. It’s all because of beautiful people, a family I hold dear to my heart, one of the most amazing locations I have ever been to, and of course, true and perfect love. Chris and Theresa are so special […]

First comes love (the day before), then comes marriage (wedding day), and then comes THE DAY AFTER!!!! This post wedding shoot wrapped up our time spent with Brett and Erica in Riviera Maya, Mexico. All wedding day stress and nerves were gone and we all just had such a great time during this shoot. Adios […]
