Early May is a perfect time for engagement sessions in Michigan. Normally, the weather is mild and the flowers are just beginning to show off.  These two chose to meet me at the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House, and the grounds were delightful.  Our two hour time block flew by, and I know that these […]

Miranda and Dave are getting married this year in a far-off location on a tropical island in the Pacific….sounds pretty dreamy, right?  Well, that’s not really the story here–we got together in the balmy Detroit winter to celebrate who they are and highlight the downtown they love, we met up in Detroit and ran all around […]

Ok, these folks just made my whole week. We planned like crazy for an engagement shoot that really could be like no one else’s.  Candice is a foodie.  Not just she likes to cook a little or eat good food sometimes…but I think she actually made her own hazelnut spread to bring on their first […]

All the feels   Ohhh, my blog has been awaiting these images!  I met Emily years ago at a wedding and her face just is meant for the camera. Not just because she’s so pretty, and she is, but the combination of Joe and Emily just melts my heart.  I can’t even stop looking at […]

But first, we planned to get together for an engagement session. They live in Wyandotte and […]

But apparently, these two make humid super hot.   We got together […]

A while back Mike called.  You can guess it. I was wondering what was wrong since normal communication normally includes one-line text messages.  But his voice was […]

A few months ago, I met Sammi at a local coffee shop. We grabbed some brewed goodness and sat for hours dreaming about her June wedding.   But, if you know me, I start dreaming about an engagement too…And I wanted to get to know more about what they love doing together.  So she told me that […]
