In honor of September 11th, I thought it would be nice to post this adorable couple I had the chance to meet and capture their love story last week. Madeline is going to school full time in Iowa, and Chris is living in Virginia, and stationed in DC… so to say they have a long distance …

A “not-so-traditional” engagement…
I’m not quite sure where to begin with this couple… So I will start with the 2nd grade when Ashley became my best friend after maliciously giving me a paper-cut in my eyeball, and having to spend the afternoon with our moms in the ER. (I say malicious, but in 2nd grade, a mosquito bite …
Rachael & Jim
“Lady in red” was playing as they sat down on a youth dinner cruise in San Franscisco for their first “date” at 16. Â The sun was setting under the Golden Gate bridge, as Jim couldn’t take his eyes off Rachael in her little red dress. “I never will forget that dress” Jim said, 16 years …
Justin & Lauren: Engaged!
Where to start with this sweet, sweet couple… they LOVE to LAUGH.. and yes, at ME! 😉 We had such a fun time with their e-session, and Justin did a great job of keeping us both warm… well, I was kind of the designated coat rack for the day, so his coat, plus my coat …
Holiday Mini Session!
Justin and Lauren were the first people to contact me about my holiday mini sessions, and I am SO glad they did! Before our session came, Justin popped the question, and asked Lauren to spend the rest of her life with him, forever & always 🙂 So this was recently after they got engaged, and …
a simple love, a forever love.
It’s a simple story really… a simple love, but sometimes, aren’t those the best? “He was an hour late on our first date…” she giggled, as she re-told the story to him. “He showed up at the wrong coffee shop…” They both laughed as they thought of that night, and where it’s brought them today.. …
Christy & Josh: Engaged!
I just fell in love with them from the beginning! Christy and I had known each other back in the high school days, and I was so happy when I saw her name in my inbox with the subject “wedding photography.” She is one of those people that just has a kind soul, the type …
College Sweethearts: Nicole & Ben
We were so excited to travel out to Holland for this beautiful  engagement session. College Sweethearts, Nicole and Ben are both in Med School, and she lives in Chicago- but we ended up back at the start of it all for their engagement session. They met at Hope college, and it was so cute hearing …
Gotta get a little mud on the tires…
Lindsay and Scott- let’s see… they are FUN, they are IN LOVE, and getting married in CANCUN, yup they are pretty much fantastic 🙂 We had a blast out on the farm that Scott grew up on for this session! Lindsay was so nervous because Scott is “so timid in front of the camera.” But …
Down on the Farm…
“1 hour and 24 minutes till destination” Lee, (my GPS) said as I took off to meet Erin & Nick for their “vintage country” engagement session. Erin grew up on a farm outside of Adrian, and when she mentioned shooting their engagement session back home, I was more than excited, being a country girl myself …
Beauty and the Beach…
LOVE LOVE LOVE Jackie and Brian. What they have is truly special. They are perfect for each other, and just love to laugh. I love couples that love to laugh 😀 We had a ton of fun, the lighting was perfect and the setting could’t have been better to capture their personalities. Can’t wait to …
Back TWO School…
Back TWO school for Stephanie & Jeremy…. and good thing, because that’s where they met! But not your normal “high school sweetheart story.” They are both teachers at a charter school in Ann Arbor. The teacher’s knew he was single when Steph got hired in 2 years agoo, and he “won Stephanie’s heart.” Stephanie had …
Strings Attached… For Life!
After my engagement session with Jamie and Natasha, I realized (again) that Engagement sessions are one of my favorite things to do as a photographer! I am a helpless romantic at heart, and this really gives that warm fuzzy feeling a chance to shine! Looking at this amazing couple I said, “tell me how you …
SnOw in love!
Shelley and Rob were “SnOw” fun to work with, and what photographer doesn’t love playing in the snow?! As I’ve said many times before, I love a couple who likes to play & have fun in front of my camera… After all, my clients aren’t models, so in our short time together on an engagement …
Shocking Session!!!
Let me first start out by saying I love this couple! Sara was always, the “cool, beautiful, big sister” of one of my closet girlfriends growing up, so when she asked me to do her and Eric’s wedding & engagement photos I was honored 🙂 (and make-up, and hair!) They have one of the coolest …
