Mo and Chris have a great love story. They went to high school together in Farmington Hills, MI, they even went to the senior prom together but were always just friends. It wasn’t until they graduated and attended different colleges that Mo and Chris began dating. Fast-forward five years and Mo and Chris celebrated their [...]

I got into wedding and portrait photography because I was a photographer first and foremost and thought I could probably figure out how to run a business. Well, frankly, running a business is a lot harder than I ever imagine and although I want to pull out my hair some days I also find it [...]

I was honored that the Sweat/Lawatsch family asked me to take their family portrait. Since the whole family was together for a little reunion they had me meet them in downtown Grand Ledge to take a few formal family shots that included four generations. After those pictures were done we had a little mini lifestyle [...]

So before I start talking about how wonderful Bertrand and Emily’s wedding day was I just want to take a moment to note that this is my 100th blog post. I waffle between feeling like it should be a lot more and not believing that in the last 18 months since I launched the blog [...]

It is a joy to watch this couple together—they [...]

I cannot tell you how excited I was to photograph Jerry and Olivia’s wedding. I fell a little in love with this couple when I photographed their engagement session. Maybe it was their adorable puppy Athena or the gorgeous garden Olivia worked so hard on—but I think it was the pool table in their living [...]

After photographing a fabulous wedding on Friday I got to spend a little time on Saturday exploring my city—Lansing, MI. I have really fallen in love with Lansing and am so excited about how the city and changing. After biking the river trail and checking out the city market my friend Kate and I went [...]

As I was working on the images from Andrea and Phil’s wedding I couldn’t help but think how cool it was that I got to hang out with them multiple times the week of their wedding. Because I got to photograph their engagement session only a few days before their wedding celebration I felt like [...]

I first spoke with Andrea nearly a year ago and she told me all about her fabulous Michigan wedding—the fabulous Michigan wedding that she was planning on from Orange County, California. And while Andrea and I hit it off on the phone and via email we didn’t actually get to meet until this past week. [...]
