Cole & Brooke






Wow, it was hard picking only 5 images to put on this blog. This session was so much fun and these two kids are absolutely adorable. Joe and Rachel are heading to Arizona in mid July to serve as dorm parents at a Christian school. They are great examples of following God's leading, and we wish them all the best on thier move. Brooke and Cole were so much fun to photograph. Cole is in love with Hockey, the Red Wings in particular, and Brooke is a princess (note the beautiful high heel shoes!).

Jessica & Paul





Our wedding season started off with a bang! Friday, June 6th, Jessica and Paul were married at the Grand Ledge Opera House. The day started off very promising with the ladies portraits at 3:30pm in the bright (very hot) sun. By the time the gentlemen arrived at 4:30, the clouds were rolling in and the facilities management decided to bring the chairs inside to avoid them getting wet. At this point, the couple was conisdering an indoor ceremony on the Terrace Level. After the portraits with the guys, the rain, thunder and lightning began, pushing the ceremony indoors and also upstairs to the ballroom level. It was all going well, with help from the bridal party setting up the last minute location change until the power went off, the generators kicked on, and then the fire alarm went off! We had to wait another 45 minutes for the Fire Department to arrive and shut down the alarms. The ceremony started about an hour late, but the bride and groom were not even phased by all the chaos. The rest of the night went off without a hitch, and we even got to take outdoor portraits after the storm! What an amazing couple, and I am sure I will never forget this wedding.

Ashley the Model





Normally Ashely avoids the backdrop, especially if we are taking her portrait. Today, she decided it was her turn after a session with a mother and son, Ashely let us know it was 'Ashely's turn' as she lay down on the backdrop and started posing. I LOVE the top image. I am going to blow it up to a 20x30 for my basement. I love her expression, the quietness of it, her little earring and hair clip, it just speaks to me. Thanks Ashely, for taking turns.

Stephanie & Bo






That last face I believe says it all. How can you go wrong with huge beautiful brown eyes and of course, the orange chair. I love how these images really share the intamacy and love between a mother and her baby. It is amazing how fast they change, and I love helping to capture each of these stages and thier blossoming personalities!

Leesa & Noah





I have been honored to photograph Leesa for most of life's biggest moments. Her engagement portraits, wedding photos, maternity, infant and family portraits have all been amazing, and now I get the chance to see her little boy grow up! I love the last image, (I am addicted to the orange chair right now...) the window lighting is so beautiful, as is Leesa.
