Winter Forest Walk

April 13th, 2019

These two beautiful girls were so amazing. It was actually very cold outside when we had our shoot. I love the combination of long dresses and the beautiful woods. It is easy to want to hibernate during the winter months in Michigan, however on this shoot, it was a great reminder that in the winter, out in the  quiet woods, can be just as beautiful.

Hayden and Ashley

January 31st, 2019

Where does the time go? 6 years ago I photographed this beautiful high school senior Ashley. I remember the day so vividly, she was open to do anything when it came to getting awesome photos. Ashley’s photo shoot ended up being one of my favorite shoots. So how in the world am I now photographing her wedding? It seems so surreal. With that being said, I have known Ashley and her family for many years,  I was beyond excited to be a part of her wedding. I did not get to meet Hayden until the day of their wedding, he is so hilarious! Hayden is also in the military, which I just have to take a moment and Thank You Hayden for your service to our country!  With Hayden being on active duty,  many of the wedding plans were done over the phone between him and Ashley.  Hayden had a leave for a week or so and here we are having a wedding. It was a simple, small, beautiful, winter wedding.  Hayden, you are perfect for Ashley and Ashley, you are perfect for Hayden. Thank you for allowing me to capture your love. I wish you both all the happiness in the world, and I am super excited to see where your journey in life takes you.

Winter

October 9th, 2018

I have photographed this girl since she was a baby! She has never ever liked to be in front of the camera. She still does not like to be in front of the camera, but we had a great shoot! She is beautiful inside and out. Such a privilege to watch her grow and capture this amazing time in her life. Here is the amazing Winter….

Gabrielle

September 13th, 2018

I believe our conversation went like this…. Me: Have you selected a location? Gabrielle: I was wondering if we could do my photo shoot up north? I just love it up there so much. Me: UMMMMM HECK YES!!!!  So we traveled to Grayling, Michigan.  I love the locations, and she completely rocked her session! Once again a longer post, but I just had to! 🙂

Oh my goodness, I can’t hardly handle the cuteness of these girls, the dresses, the dancing, the location.  This whole sessions makes me think of the secret garden!
