As many of you know earlier this year I signed a lease on a beautiful, natural light studio & space in Downtown Ann Arbor.  When I was brought in by my friend and talented photographer Amanda, I never imagined I would use the space as often as I have.  I knew I could shoot in there […]

Winter has only been here for a few days, yet it already feels like it’s been here forever as fall feels like a distant memory.  Isn’t it crazy how that works? We had a gorgeous fall ablaze with all the best color, very few windy days before the rain and cold showed up.  I’m just […]
