Melissa + Steve

Melissa + Steve talked to me just a few weeks ago about waiting for some gorgeous snow to hit for their winter engagement session at Kensington Metropark Since these two are planning a winter wedding at the Henry Ford Museum, we figured that we would just wait until Michigan showed up and gave us some […]

Michael + Jillian | The H Hotel

Midland is a special place for Mike and Jill, so a reception at the H Hotel was the most fitting spot to celebrate tying the knot. It won’t take long scrolling through Mike and Jill’s wedding day to see that these two adore one another and laugh A LOT. Their joy is absolutely contagious and […]

Timmy + Taylor | The Guardian Building

The Guadian Building Timmy and Taylor met at Michigan State, and the two didn’t take long to realize they were ideal for each other.  The morning festivities began at the Detroit Mariott on the water overlooking views of the city and the Detroit River.  The sun was shining, and the city was at its finest.  […]

Portraits

Chloe: Grosse Ile Senior

Chloe’s Senior Session was a blast.  She met up with her cousin Aiden–who was graduating with her to get a few shots at the school–but later in the month, we spent time just focused on Chloe. This girl is beautiful and bright–and truthfully, I couldn’t pick a favorite. Congratulations, Chloe!

Drake + Chelsie | The Inn at St. Johns

The Inn at St. John’s has become one of Detroit’s dream venues, and it certainly was that for Cheslie and Drake.  We met in January of 2020 to make their engagement session.  It was a mild winter day with snow and some rain…and while I was a little anxious about the weather, their photos blew […]

Steve + Stephanie | The Inn At St. Johns

It might not have looked exactly the way Steve and Stephanie imagined their wedding and celebration to look, but it sure ended up being quite the fabulous multi-year celebration.  These two were married in the summer of 2020, and since they had known each other a long while, the thought of waiting to call each […]
