Yes, Kira and Jimmy jumped in….

Faraz is finishing school (out of state….oh, the agony), and he and Yasmine are getting married this December. Earlier this year we photographed them downtown when he made his way back for a visit. I was thrilled to be able to steal away a few of their precious hours together to capture these beautiful images. […]

We started things off right.  First, we met at one of my favorite restaurants in Detroit (Traffic Jam & Snug…if you aren’t familiar.  Go, NOW.) And then, the three of us are from the thumb…of Michigan.  Could it get better?  Yes, they both work at Quicken Loans and are in love with the city of […]

Sometimes when I am hanging out with my couples, I start imagining them with their friends. I always look forward to the exciting dynamics that make up a wedding party. For Shea and Chris, I imagine that their friends and close family can see the connection and view them as awesome individuals but really just […]

So many things, there are just so many things  I could write. First, you have to know, that these two together are really made for each other.  Having known Chaz since our Chippewa days, I can attest that Chaz is the most happy he has ever been. Kristen makes him THIS happy. Chaz and Kristen […]

It’s been too long these have been hiding from all of you.  Way too long. Holly and Brian started their engagement session last fall (yes, more than 6 months ago) and we captured some awesome images at the Joe.  These die hard Red Wings fans knew they need their shoot right there.  Their beautiful little […]

There is something about an engagement session that speaks so much.  I love to spend a few hours with a couple to get to know them before their wedding day and make them feel really comfortable in front of my camera. But really, an engagement session is more than that. It’s who they are individually and […]

A few weeks ago I met Lisa and Danny at Belle Isle, and I got to spend time with the two of them enjoying the park.   The weather was perfect, and we came across some early fall colors that were stunning. These two have an ease about them, and you can see it coming […]

Wesley and Kate grew up in Farmington Hills. Their friends, their family, and lots of beautiful memories are there.  And when I asked Wesley to tell me more about how he met his future wife, he wrote something so sweet, I had to copy it verbatim. “So we both went to North Farmington High school […]

A few months ago I met Tara for a coffee.  We chatted about wedding details, creative portrait locations, school, working nights, how awesome life is…etc.  Yeah, you can imagine. We hit it off. And as usual, I started looking forward to the engagement session.  The summer couldn’t come soon enough. These two have a love […]

You just can’t help but smile at these smiles. They aren’t fake.  Megan and Ryan are getting married next May, and the joy that they have has me looking forward to their day. Megan and Ryan were excited to spend time in the Rochester area exploring. I couldn’t say no to that.  And, we got […]

These two Detroit-loving people couldn’t have made me more happy than to choose to roam around the city a little (and yes, we walked a lot)…and check things off. On our list was definitely a shot or two at Comerica Park, but other than that….I got to pick a few new spots of my own. […]
