Most days you'll find me sitting at my kitchen counter, clad in a mix of J.Crew and Zara (in neutral colors, of course), pouring my heart into this business of mine while dancing along to my latest Spotify playlist and sipping on a cup of hot tea. I'm an award-winning, published wedding photographer that is obsessed with all things classic and elegant. I'm a former California girl, but a true Midwesterner at heart. I love warm hugs, live music and getting texts from my brides that they cried when they saw their wedding photos!! I live for mornings on my yoga mat and green juice after. Among friends, I'm known for never missing an episode of The Bachelor on Monday nights, overusing exclamation points, and disliking coffee (but loving coffee shops)!
CLASSIC PHOTOGRAPHY FOR THE NATURALLY ELEGANT BRIDE
I was so excited to meet up with Lauren & John recently in Detroit to take their Detroit Institute of Arts engagement photos! John was actually a groomsman in Curtis & Laura’s wedding last year at Lovett Hall and I’m so excited to photograph their Lovett Hall wedding next June!
As much as I love my favorite spots in the city for engagement sessions, I love when my couples come up with cool, unique locations for their photos that haven’t been done before and are special to them! When Emily asked how I felt about the Detroit Zoo, I immediately said, “YES”!
I had so much fun adventuring around the streets of Detroit with Isabelle & Andrew. It was raining sideways right before our session but thankfully the rain stopped just in time to get some amazing photographs! Isabelle loves my portraits downtown in the streets with the city as the backdrop and I was so excited to be able to create some for her and Andrew!!
Delani and Alan were married in Detroit a little over a week ago and let me tell you, I felt like I was photographing a Royal wedding!! Delani is such a classic beauty and looked like she could be gracing the pages of a 1960’s copy of British Vogue in every single photo I took of her & Alan.
Alyssa first met Patrick one night at Michigan State when he was visiting his cousin, Melissa, who was also one of Alyssa’s best friends from her sorority. Alyssa thought they were dating and Melissa laughed as she explained that he was actually her cousin!
I first met Maureen at a Jonas Brothers meet & greet (seriously, lol) when she was in line behind me. I turned around and asked her to take a photo of me with them & we became Facebook friends after. I was so excited a few months ago when she reached out to me about photographing her & Josh’s Dearborn Inn wedding next June!
