Perfect Golden Hour Stony Creek Metropark Engagement
Last September, I had the most perfect golden hour Stony Creek Metropark engagement session with Kylie and Jared - and their pup Brody! I always encourage couples to bring their pups (if they wish) because they're family. I know that when we got engagement - and...

Fall Law Quad Engagement Session | Mike & Sarah
Mike and Sarah's fall Law Quad engagement session at the University of Michigan took place on what I think was the PERFECT fall day - not too warm and not too cold, with a lovely golden hour light. Mike is a University of Michigan alum now and these two spent a lot of...

Golden Hour Stony Creek Engagement Session | Jalen & Maria
I had the best time with Jalen and Maria at their golden hour Stony Creek engagement session. These two were truly so much fun - I laughed a lot which always makes my job so fun! These two met working at Emagine Theaters and their first date was to a cider mill. They...

Dow Gardens Engagement Session | Victoria & Matt
I love it when clients take me to new places for their sessions. Victoria and Matt's Dow Gardens engagement session took me to a new place, and a beautiful one at that. They chose this location because they got engaged there! We met up on a Sunday summer afternoon and...

Downtown Rochester Engagement Session | Nick & Samantha
I have so much I could say about Nick, Samantha and their downtown Rochester engagement session! First of all, they picked the absolute best week of the year for fall color - look at those oranges and reds! But also, these two are just the best kind of clients - so...

Michigan State University Engagement Photos | Jennifer & Robert
Who doesn't like Michigan State University engagement photos? It seems like every year I end up in both East Lansing and Ann Arbor for at least one session with some alums! 2020 was no different with Jennifer and Robert at Michigan State University in the fall. We got...

Sunset Stony Creek Engagement Session | Lauren & Seth
Lauren and Seth love the outdoors so a sunset Stony Creek engagement session was perfect for them! The first time we scheduled their engagement session, the weather forecast was cloudy, but still fine for photos. However, after shooting for about thirty minutes, it...

Downtown Grand Rapids Engagement Session | Erika & Will
I was so excited this summer to finally get to shoot a downtown Grand Rapids engagement session! I spent four years in West Michigan for college (Go Hope!) but I've never been able to do an engagement session in downtown Grand Rapids. When Erika and Will booked me for...

Summer Michigan State University Engagement Session | Melissa & Josh
A summer Michigan State University engagement session truly can't be beat. I love visiting the Michigan State University campus in all seasons (check this fall Michigan State University engagement session from 2019 here for more MSU love), but summer seems quieter,...

Spring Stony Creek Metropark Engagement Session | Chelsey & Yianni
Chelsey and Yianni were my first booking for 2021 and I finally got to meet them for a spring Stony Creek metropark engagement session right after we were able to start working again post-quarantine. Before we headed to Stony Creek metropark, we stopped at Yates Cider...
