Ladies and Gentleman, we’ve seen the warm weather and the spring. It’s coming, we just know it. It’s time to dust off those shorts, skirts, and sunglasses and get ready for some Spring and Summer fun. I for one am tired of sitting inside on my computer all day this winter. It’s time to get out, play at the park, run and splash in the creek, and GET YOUR FAMILY SHOT. » Expand Post
It was a New Year’s Eve wedding in Holland, MI. Of course it was going to be a party. These two just brought even more party rock to keep it awesome. » Expand Post
We almost didn’t do it. We almost didn’t take pictures yesterday, or get together. It was a bit on the chilly side, it was gray and wet, and it was a bit windy for our tastes. But something drew us together and gave us the strength to just go out and give it our all no matter the weather. I’m certainly glad we did because the locations, laughter, and gray skies gave us one of my favorite shoots to date. There’s just something to Justin and Katy. I’ve known them for a couple of years now and watched their love grow seemingly out of nowhere. But now, here they are. More in love than I thought humanly possible, and committing themselves to that life of laughter and passionate love together. They’re the absolute real deal, and I am beyond excited for them. » Expand Post
These two are something absolutely special. She’s a cheerleading coach, he’s a police officer. We visited one of their favorite spots, Kensington Metropark and got to walk around and breathe in the fall air together. From my experiences, I think they’re literally incapable of not smiling. Which in turn, makes you incapable of not smiling. It’s a little crazy and ridiculous, but they’re madly in love; what are you gonna do? I love that.
Check back next week for their amazing New Year’s Eve Wedding in Holland! Have a great weekend everyone.

I go to an amazing church that I am super proud and honored to be a part of. Occasionally I get to do some shooting for them, and I absolutely love it. It’s such a stretch to step out of the mold of a wedding day and into setting up more elaborate shoots with someone directing and making the settings for some of my shots. It is much less spontaneous than a wedding or usual portrait shoots, but it is also has been such a freeing experience to shoot in this capacity. » Expand Post
It’s about time I get caught up on some blogging from last year! It’s time to quit messing around and start showing off some of the awesome couples I got to hang out with in 2011. First up is Renee and Gavin. They’re from California and they’re ridiculously cool. Enjoy their engagement session and get ready for their wedding in the next few days! » Expand Post
AND… we’re back! After the craziness that is the Christmas season we’ve made it out to the other side. It was such an incredible time spent with family, friends, and church and I wouldn’t trade a second of that time off for the world, but I’m ready to be back at it and SO excited to be sharing this wedding with you today. You may remember Kelly and Matt from their ridiculously cool engagement session in Grand Rapids a couple of months back. Yeah, they’re pretty great. » Expand Post
There comes a time in my year when I’m slowly weaning off of my 2011 weddings and starting to look toward the future. It’s a sad time and a happy time all rolled up into one big ball of tears and though I’d love to keep going on the journey with them forever, I thrive on those new interactions and meeting new people while in turn, getting the chance documenting their love. The thing that can really make that transition a heck of a lot easier though is when I find the couple that just gets it. Plain and simple. They know what they’re looking for and they find my work and cling to it. They don’t shop around to a million different photographers just to get the best deal. From the get-go they completely trust me to document their day and do it in the way that only I could. They’re excited beyond belief for their journey and to have me tell their story. Jessica and Justin just GET IT. They GET ME and why I do what I do. And I have to say, I love them for that very reason. » Expand Post
