Meet Natalie! I love that she wanted her senior shoot done in the winter time. We had a few falls and we were a little cold, but the snow is so beautiful and it was so peaceful and quiet outside.  I need to do more shoots in the winter. 🙂

Two young girls meet on Mackinaw Island 20 years ago. One was from the country, one was from the city, they had two different backgrounds and two different reasons they were on the island. The one girl was me and I was there to work with horses for the summer and give tours of one of my most favorite places on earth. I love Mackinaw Island so much! The other girl was Veronica, she was there to get away for the summer through a school program.  We were introduced to each other and were informed we were roommates. Well what started out as just roommates ended up being a life long friendship! We were placed together because I was a little older, she was younger and I guess they thought I might look out for her, which we looked out for each other.  We had such a blast on the island all summer and did so much together, we became not just friends but sisters. Summer ended, I stayed on the island and she went back to school, I was already graduated from school.  We always kept in touch. Lives got busy, our families grew but we always remained close and her kids know me as aunt and my kids know her as aunt. We are all family and I love them so much! Well here we are 20 years later and I am photographing her beautiful daughter, my niece, I love this girl so much and she is seriously gorgeous.  I am so blessed they are in our lives and so blessed to be able to photograph the beautiful Serene.

Such a beautiful fall day!  There is just something about being a photographer, that I just feel like my clients are not just my clients, they become family to me and I feel that way so much about this awesome girl and her family. Avery rocked her shoot, so sweet and so fun.

Oh my goodness, I know I have been kind of not posting as much lately, but I just looked and it has been a month, WOW, that is not me. That has to change, so lets start with Billy. Michigan gave us an wonderful 90 degree day for his shoot, and he was such a trooper. He is such an awesome, down to earth young man, love that he requested a farm location, it speaks right to my heart.

Beautiful Mary with a beautiful heart!! It is a long post, but what can I say, it was an amazing shoot, from sunflowers, to barns, to downtown, to sunset, I LOVE IT.

Such a magical session, first of all an amazingly beautiful day (which means amazing light), a gorgeous senior and her beautiful horse. I personally love horses so much so to add them into a session, it was just a perfect session to me. 🙂 Meet Morgan and her horse Mirabella.

Senior sessions in Detroit… HECK YES! Amazing textures, buildings, history, love it all. This gorgeous girl completely rocked this session!

Another awesome senior!! One of the kindest, loving families I have ever known and I can not believe their oldest is graduating, it was an honor to photograph this young man. Congrats to Jacob and cant wait to see where your next step in life takes you. 🙂

Another awesome senior. Such a cool guy, loved hanging out with his awesome family during his shoot.
