Lauren and Brent are Engaged!!!

So excited to share this session! This is Lauren and Brent, they will be married in May 2010...I'm partial to May myself :) I have to be honest and say that I am incredibly flattered that Lauren and Brent chose me to photograph them. I am always flattered when anyone chooses me as their photographer, however, Lauren works for the always stunning Modern Day Floral. She interacts with TONS of fabulous photographers everyday and could have chosen any one of them, but they chose me! So thanks guys, it really is an extra special compliment to me...and maybe just a little bit more pressure :) We met at Robinette's Apple Orchard for our shoot right around the time of year when the leaves were just beginning change color and the apples were ripe and colorful...beautiful absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, Michigan weather is not always willing to cooperate. We had our session scheduled and then rescheduled and we managed to finally get the ONE day in the month without rain....and a smidge of sun, for about 5 minutes...but despite the weather obstacles we had a wonderful session. Lauren and Brent were fun, silly, kind, and very much in love. Thanks guys for a great shoot, looking forward to your big day...May will be here faster than you know it!

Becky and Devin are Engaged!

Meet Becky and Devin, they are one of my fabulous July 2010 couples. A few weeks back we went out for an exciting engagement shoot. I always get excited to do photoshoots but I was extra excited because Becky and Devin wanted a little of everything, a little downtown a little country. Hey, I want my cake and eat it too :) so this was perfect, plus I love trying out new fun spots I find. I saw this patch of tall grass..okay weeds... and thought ahhh perfect!!! Becky and Devin were such a delight, they were up for whatever. We had fun and they both did such an amazing job. I know it's hard to make out in front of a camera but seriously you guys look awesome, you are one HOT and stylin' couple. I can't wait for your wedding!

Jenn and Rex are Married!!

I know what you are all thinking...yes it's true I have been absent from my blog for quite a while, but I promise it's been for a good cause.  I have been focusing so hard on editing and staying on top of everything.  I am truly truly blessed to be so busy, and I really feel it's so important to give my all to each and every client so alast my blog has fallen to the wayside.  My New Years resolution is to get better at blogging!!  

Jenn and Rex have been patiently awaiting their sneak peek so here you go Jenn!!

On Saturday September 12, Rex and Jenn were married in Holland, MI at the Holland Arts Council.  The art on the wall was such a faboulous backdrop for Rex and Jenns elegant affair.  The afternoon was a small and intimate wedding with just their closest friends and family.  I loved every moment of their beautiful day.  For starters Jenn and Rex are not only kind, fun, easy going people, but passionately in love and perfectly able to get lost in their love in front of the camera.  For this reason I had soooo many awesome images of the two of them.  I adore you both and I can't thank you enough for allowing me to share all of these precious moments with you.   

Here is daddy's first look at his little girl, precious!  

Reason 1 I adore Jenn, she has an incredible laugh and a contagious essence of joy. 

Reason 2 I adore Jenn, she looks beautiful and inspires the best out me!

Reason 3 I adore Jenn, she's not afraid to get a little sassy!

Rex and Jenn opted for the "first reveal" before the ceremony.  It's a personal and important decision for a couple to either see each other or not, but for Jenn and Rex it was awesome because we had plenty of time to hang out, enjoy the sunshine, and capture faboulous photographs

See, so precious aren't they!

Love the details, so simple, elegant, and modern, perfect decoration for an art gallery.


These little ballerina's danced in the evening light pouring through the windows, Rex's nieces are so adorable in their pink and blue tutus!.  

Sunset on the beach, gorgeous and romantic!  I highly recommend for brides planning a wedding near the beach.  

HA, I had to include this.  HILARIOUS!  I was shooting away off in my photographer lala land and all of the sudden we came upon THE biggest and ickyest dead fish.  I have no idea how I didn't see this before but thankfully both Jenn and Rex have a wonderful sense of humor.  We all had a good laugh and then quickly moved down the beach to avoid the nastyness of the rotting fish...ewww!  But I couldn't help  but post this because Jenn's reaction was soo funny.
Thankfully it was worth it because I snagged these ... I say this a lot but sometimes you have no idea the "behind the scenes" of a photoshoot :)
