I love it when you come across something that reminds you just how small this world really is and how some things are just destined to be. Katie and Peter both attended the University of Michigan (YAY, Go Blue!!!) at the same time.

I met up with Megan & Joe last week to take their engagement photos in downtown Detroit. Even though mother nature clearly wants to hang on to winter a little bit longer in Michigan, the date they had picked ended up being the one sunny & 70 degree day we had in the midst of a week of temperatures in the 40s and rain!

I used to work with Hannah at my last job and she sat in the desk right next to mine in our open office floor plan. We bonded over our love of mid century modern furniture and great design. Whenever photography would come up, she would tell me that she wanted me to photograph her wedding one day.

Robin & Jeff met one night in Dearborn. Robin’s friend was in town and brought her along to a bar on Michigan Ave. As they were sitting there, Jeff came up and started talking to Robin. He was nice and kind and Robin liked that he cared about what she had to say and actually listened to her as she talked.

Last year was one for the books!! 2017 was by far my best year yet for my business! It was my first full year of running my business full-time, instead of during lunch breaks, after work & on Sundays. It was amazing and fun and also, a ton of hard work.

I’m so excited to share this Detroit Institute of Arts engagement session with you all today! Nicole is one of my best friends from the University of Michigan and it was so fun to get her and her fiancé in front of my camera!
