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!
I met up with Laura & Anu last week for their Detroit Institute of Arts engagement session and we had the most beautiful light & glowy orange sunset. These two have great style & were impeccibly dressed (I was swooning over Laura’s Saint Laurent heels), but they also have the sweetest and fun loving relationship and I think the photos we captured do that justice!
Monica & Minan brought Martha Reeves & the Vandellas “Dancing in the Street” to life earlier this month at their engagement session when Minan twirled Monica around in the crosswalk as they crossed the street. And what better backdrop for it than the city streets of Detroit that served as the inspiration for the classic Motown song!
I met up with Angie & Cameron recently in their hometown for their Chicago engagement session! Angie picked the Field Museum and it was such a perfect backdrop for their photos. Not only is it built from the most beautiful marble and has gorgeous sprawling front & back steps that reminded me of the MET, but it also sits right on the water, making it the perfect spot to get a mix of classic architecture & the Chicago skyline with Lake Michigan in front of it!
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!
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.
