Waldenwoods: Brett & Emily Married!
We had the pleasure to capture some of our closest friend’s wedding the end of June, at the beautiful Walden Woods in Howell, where Matt and I said our “I-do’s” almost 3 years ago! I had never seen Brett and Emily so incredibly in love than on that day. The thing that really stood out …

Cherish {Father’s Day 2013}
“When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure…” As the first father’s day with my daddy watching me from Heaven, I thought it would only be appropriate to dedicate a post to him and to encourage so many others out there who will be spending this father’s day, without their dad. I’d love for you …

Newborn Safety & Composites
With this being a very popular season for these wee little miracles, I always like to do a post about newborn safety! I’ve taken several newborn safety workshops, and, while it seems obvious, but with so many new photographers out there, it must be said, newborn safety should always come first! Many times, parents will bring in sentimental “props” for …

The Perfect Gift for “him”…
If your husband (or boyfriend) is anything like mine, when Holiday’s come around (yes, even Valentines day)… I usually draw a blank with what to get him. Unless of course, it is Christmas, where he still makes detailed, color coded Christmas lists 😉 For our 2 year wedding anniversary, it was the first year we …
