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 word, where to even begin with this cute session? After doing Fall photos for Emily’s adorable family, she reached out to me to do their Christmas card photos as well! Although we missed the one & only snowfall of the year (how is that even possible that we’ve only had one snow so far?!), we made up for it with fake snow sprinkled on the ground in their backyard around the cute little setup Emily made!
Emily + Stefan are so in love with each other and it shone through so brightly in their engagement photos! The DIA was the perfect elegant and classy Detroit backdrop to start their engagement session at. The building’s beauty was highlighted even more from the fresh snowfall the night before!
I was so excited when Kristel reached out to me about photographing another couples session with her and her boyfriend Zak while he was home on leave from the military in Downtown Plymouth. I was even more excited when we had the first snowfall of the year on the morning of the session and they were still up for trekking out into the snow for photos.
It was a gorgoeus fall day in early November when I met up with the VanBuskirk family at Kensington Metropark to take their family photos! We found some great areas to take their portraits at and I just loved how the light was reflecting off the lake!
The Cranbrook House on the campus of Cranbrook Kingswood in West Bloomfield served as the perfect Fall location for Riley’s senior photos. The grounds were just gorgeous with lots of Fall foliage and changing leaves. I just love taking Michigan senior photos in the fall!
