THE JOURNAL

This is going to be a long, long post.  Almost as long as Santa’s list this Christmas … almost.   I wanted to wait until after all my clients had their galleries and time to order & share their images from this year’s Merry & Bright Holiday Mini Sessions at our Ann Arbor Studio, so […]

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 […]
