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
Oh my gosh you guys, Carrie knocked her senior session out of the park! It was a freezing cold day in May when Carie and I met up on Belle Isle for her senior session (I was legit wearing my Winter coat) and you would never know it by looking at her photos!
Lachelle and Mike’s family threw them a beautiful bridal shower last weekend and I was so excited they asked me to photograph it! It was a beautiful afternoon filled with so much laughter (especially during the shower game they played) and love from friends and family!
There’s nothing better than a snuggly, sleepy, squishy, week old baby! When one of my good friends from high school asked me to photograph her little one before he was born, I was so excited! Little Dominic was just the sweetest thing and we had so much fun dressing him up in all of the cute, little outfits her family had gifted her!
Christina and Kerellos have a tradition every year of having photographs taken on their wedding anniversary to document another year together and I just love that they do that! What better way to celebrate than to document their love in that moment.
It was a beautiful day in Shelbyville, Michigan for Patricia and Chris’s wedding and these Bay Pointe Inn wedding photos are some of my favorites! The venue literally felt like a little tropical paradise sandwiched between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids. I mean, there were even palm trees and pineapples.
The cherry blossoms were in full bloom a few weekends ago on Belle Isle when I met up with Chelsea and Kevin for their engagement session. They provided such a beautiful background and set the stage for some romantic and elegant engagement photos.
