As we wrap up another incredible school year, I want to take a minute to wish all of these RAD GRADS a big, heartfelt congratulations! It was truly an amazing experience having each of you in front of my camera for your senior sessions.  Hats off to you! // NOW BOOKING CLASS OF 2019 SENIOR […]

We are winding down yet another school year, and I’d be remised to say that I get a little weepy when I think about seniors that I’ve had for their shoots graduating and heading off to college or whatever great adventures lie ahead of them. This past season (Class of 2018) was just brimming with […]

Hellllllo spring.  You are so welcome here, even though this rainy Friday feels a little like winter. Back in March, I shot a beautiful Planterra Conservatory wedding for Brian & Nikki.  If you remember, we also met on the shores of Lake Michigan last fall for their engagement shoot, and I knew their wedding day […]

Kevin & Lisa snagged a spot on the calendar for one of the first real & true nice days this spring.  The sun was shining brightly and there was still a crispness (is that a word?) in the air.  I’ve known Lisa for a few years now, and it makes me so incredibly happy to […]

Sure, I do own a domain & blog, but most of my wedding clients find me through word of mouth.  Whether it be a referral by another client who […]

Laurel & I go waaayyy back.  Ok, well not really.  But this isn’t the first time she’s been in front of my camera. Laurel’s beautiful mama Julie & I went to high school together.  (Now that is waaayyyy back in the day.) And I’d done a family shoot with Laurel & her siblings back in […]

Spring reminds me that a new season is just around the corner.  Not only the one filled with budding flowers, green grass and warmer temps.  But the one that brings a new class of amazing guys & girls. Yes, senior booking season is here! But before we go full throttle, I’ve yet to show off […]
