welcome to my new blog! |
2.6.08 (News)

I'm beyond excited to announce my fancy new blog! I love what I do and I love sharing it with others, so I've created a little place to do just that.
After each photo shoot, I will post some images so that you can see what I'm up to! I will also let you know about new products and I'll keep you informed with useful (and some not so useful but still fun) information. And, I'll even share some random babble about things in my personal life (so that when I'm super swamped, my friends and family will know that I'm still alive!).
Be sure to subscribe to my blog so that you never miss out! You can also bookmark this link so you can always find it.
I LOVE when people leave comments because I love knowing who has stopped by and what they think. So if you want to make my day, leave a comment every time you stop by. It's like leaving a little footprint.
Peace and love to everyone!

P.S. Thank you, Infinet Design, for doing such an awesome job with the programming of my new blog! You are truly amazing! |

lori & alex are married! |

The weather on Lori & Alex's wedding day was awful, but the wedding was absolutely beautiful despite the rain and the bride and groom definitely didn't let it ruin their day. They even braved the rain for some outdoor photos, which was totally worth it.
Ceremony & Reception: Twin Lakes Country Club |
| I love this first shot of Alex, if I may say so myself. |
| Their first dance was amazing. I can't even imagine how many hours of dance lessons it must have required! |
| Lori & Alex: Congratulations! Your wedding was a blast to shoot and thanks for having such great attitudes despite the weather! |

editorial published in Brides MI magazine |
10.1.08 (News)

I worked with the amazing Misty Trompeter of Bells and Bliss wedding planning on the following editorial piece for Brides Michigan magazine. Misty wrote the brilliant copy and I shot the images (for the three venues on the right).
I loved shooting this editorial piece because I got a sneak peek at two venues, the Westin Book Cadillac Hotel and the Kresge Court at the DIA, which aren't yet hosting weddings but which are booking for upcoming weddings. I also got to check out Flat 151, which is perfect for the bride who wants something ultra chic and different.

| The Inn at St. John's was the perfect venue for the perfect union of Veronica and Steve. They're such a sweet and down-to-earth couple and I'm so happy for them! |
| Veronica looked SO gorgeous... |
| Just one of the many beautiful ways in which she honored her brother, who couldn't be there... |
| There is simply no better way to find genuine emotion than to capture the moment in which the bride and groom first see one another. I always love this moment of the wedding day. |
| I think this is my favorite shot of the day... |
Congratulations, Veronica & Steve! What a beautiful day!
P.S. Go Blue! |

| Courtney and Dan's wedding at Wabeek Country Club was amazing! They are a super sweet couple, the wedding was beautiful, and their friends and family were a blast to photograph! |
| I think she looks like a perfect model in this shot... |
| The guys were super fun... |
| After the ceremony they had a little quiet moment, which was so sweet. |
| These little seedlings are quite possibly the most unique, not to mention earth-saving, wedding favor I've seen! Such a great idea! |
| I'm in LOVE with these glasses! |
| Congrats to Courtney and Dan! You guys are adorable! |
| Lilia and Matt are super cute! Their wedding is just around the corner and I'm really looking forward to it! |
| I think that a sundress is the perfect outfit for a woman to wear for an engagement shoot. The twirly shot just isn't quite the same otherwise. |
| I don't think their outfits could possibly match the background any better than they do... |
| Lilia and Matt: good luck with the last minute wedding details. I'll see you soon! |
I shot Kelly and Dave's engagement session in Ann Arbor. They're a super fun and adorable couple, I love Ann Arbor, and the weather was amazing... the afternoon was just perfect!
Although I did shoot some in black and white, the colors from this session are STUNNING and so none of the black and white ones made it to my blog. I can't help it - I'm just in love with color these days! |
| I love this image of Kelly... |
| Sweetwaters is meaningful to them, so we were sure to stop by there... |
| Lavendar wall: I LOVE you! |
| It was a blast hanging out with you guys! I'm excited to shoot your wedding! |

Jessica, Jeff, and their two amazing daughters Shelby and Chloe, recently became one great big official family and it was quite possibly the most beautiful thing ever to witness. I'm beyond happy for all of them because they make such a beautiful family.
|
| Look at those super sexy heels, I LOVE them! |
| And the girls are adorable... |
| They decided to do a "first look" moment... and Jessica beautifully burst into tears when she saw Jeff. |
| She did a stellar job with all of the details - so elegant and romantic! |
| Their guest book, which was designed from images from their engagement session, was a huge hit. |
| Ok, I'll admit, I shed a few tears behind the camera when they danced with the girls... |
| ...and then I shed even more tears when they all danced together. |
| Jessica and Jeff are the coolest parents ever - they got a limo just for the girls (and their babysitter) to cruise around in for a while before taking them home. |
| Congratulations to a beautiful new family! I wish you the best always! |

Neeley and Jeff are an adorable couple and their wedding was filled with all things bright, fun, and happy! I'm so glad that they hired me to shoot their big day, not only because they're so fun to be around but also because their style is so much like mine (you'll see below).
Their ceremony was at Rockpointe and their reception was at Partridge Creek. Everyone had a blast... |
| All of the details were stunning! |
| I LOVE LOVE LOVE this candelabra with the beaded chandelier-like swags... |
| Even the tea lights were wrapped with damask ribbon - such amazing attention to detail! |
| Black and white damask... that's another reason why I loved her wedding. |
| And the rockin' bridal party... |
| If I may say so myself... I LOVE this image! |
| I love the way he looks at her... |
| Congratulations, Neeley & Jeff! You guys are awesome!!! |
