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...

Snowy Winter Detroit Engagement Session | Laura & Dillon
When we planned Laura and Dillon's engagement session, we truly had no idea we'd be in for a snowy winter Detroit engagement session (though apparently they were secretly hoping for it!). If you're having a winter engagement session, doesn't snow make it all the more...

Summer Stony Creek Engagement Session
Recently I realized I never shared Kelsey and Ryan's beautiful summer Stony Creek engagement session from 2018. Kelsey and Ryan are approaching their first wedding anniversary (they were married at the Fenton Winery and Brewery last year), so what a perfect way to...

Fall Ann Arbor Engagement Session
Mychelle and Jared’s beautiful fall Ann Arbor engagement session at Gallup Park was perfect in every way, including outfits and the fall color.

Fall Maybury State Park Engagement | Nick & Alysia
There is a secret to fall in Michigan...it is best in early November. Many believe the fall colors to be strongest in mid-October, but not in Metro Detroit. The best color is usually the last week of October and first week of November, which is when I met up with Nick...

Seven Lakes State Park Engagement | Shelby & Barry
In Michigan, we get the fall colors for about two solid weeks, sometimes less if the weather is bad. We had the most perfect fall day for Shelby and Barry's Seven Lakes State Park engagement session. The fall colors were incredible, the sun was still shining, and it...

Fall Michigan State University Engagement | Trevor & Jamie
I am not an alumni of a Big 10 school. I went to a small liberal arts school. So it always amazes me to visit a large campus filled with thousands and thousands of students. It also amazes me that of thousands of students, Trevor and Jamie met while living in the same...

Lansing Michigan Engagement Photographer | Katie & Adam
I love spending time with couples BEFORE the wedding and engagement sessions are the best way to do that! Not only do we get to hang out for a bit, but you get to practice in front of the camera and get some awesome photos out of it! I met up with Katie and Adam back...
