Yay! This is one of the most special times in your relationship, so much excitement and also so many questions!

Read MoreKasia & Jake’s wedding was phenomenal! The ceremony at St Thomas church was beyond moving, Jake’s face when he saw Kasia was beyond sweet. The reception following at Elcona Country Club was beautiful and the lighting was incredible! Formal photos were done at Wellfield Botanical Gardens in Elkhart, IN.
Read MoreLast week I went to Cuba with my husband for our 10 year anniversary. I am not a street photographer or a landscape photographer but I was excited to capture Havana and its colors! These are a few of my faves... most of which were taken from our moving 1959 Ford during our tour of Havana.
It was truly like stepping back in time, the cars, the buildings and the architecture. The texture was beyond awesome! It was an amazing experience I will never forget.
Read MoreWhat a whirlwind of a trip to go and photograph Andrew & Laura's wedding! It was the first time for me meeting Andrew and Laura after being in contact over facebook. It was such a pleasure to meet them and get to know them better.
Their day was absolutely STUNNING! The ceremony was held at the Sir James Mitchell Park which overlooked the Perth Skyline. What an absolutely beautiful place for a wedding ceremony.
Read MoreThere is not much I can say about these two that isn't reflected in their photographs. They are two of the most connected people I have ever had the pleasure to photograph. Some couples take a little more coaxing to get that true romantic feeling to show up in photographs, but that is not Katie & Corey. They are beyond perfect and it was my absolute pleasure to document their perfect day.
Read MoreWhat a fun afternoon I had exploring Chicago's landmarks with Melody & Xavier! We went to several hot spots and got some great images. I absolutely LOVE this skyline and can't get enough of it. Today we managed to capture it from two different angles as well as Navy Pier, The Chicago Theatre, Wells Street Bridge and sunset over the Chicago Skyline. You can't ask for much more than that!
Read MoreVilay & Troy's day was absolutely amazing. We were threatened by thunder storms all day, but they were wanting to do their first look and photos outside. We managed to skirt the storms (we got caught by them at the last moment). I absolutely LOVED getting to know Vilay and Troy better. They are a wonderful couple who have been together for 13 years and have two amazing boys! I was super excited to document their big day.
Read MoreBUT... WHAT DO I WEAR?
I am often asked what are best things to wear for boudoir photo shoot? Well let me tell you there are many great items you can choose right out of your own closet. Not every item needs to be lingerie. Choose at least one bra and panty set.
Read MoreI met Jessie at a couple of bridal shows in early 2018. She was the winner of a free engagement session from me after signing up for a drawing. I loved getting to meet Steven and spending some fun time with them. They are so comfortable with each other our hour went super fast... even tho we got eaten by a colony of mosquitos.
Read MoreToday I had the pleasure of capturing Emily & Tyler's engagement session at their families campground in Union, Michigan. I loved getting to know them a little better. I also was super excited to see that Tyler had brought along one of his families restored tractors! That was such a cool prop to be able to use to add some uniqueness to their session.
Read MoreI LOVE LOVE LOVED capturing Derrick & Kristin's wedding today. I love it when my couples decide to do a smaller, intimate wedding. Kristin looked absolutely stunning in her gown and Derrick's American flag socks and suspenders put a personal touch into his outfit.
Read MoreWow! Michigan's Upper Peninsular has been on my bucket list of places to shoot for the last couple of years. I had seen a cool place where you can hike up a mountain and see the great lakes from the top. The view was absolutely incredible. In my wedding consultation I told Bailey about wanting to shoot there and it just so happened that her family was planning a vacation up to the UP in July!
Read MoreToday was a hot one in Chicago! I met with Vilay and Troy to get some Chicago Skyline shots as well as some shots at Lincoln Park Zoo. I loved their choices of outfits and adding in some of their personality with their rival football jerseys!
I cannot wait for their October wedding in Elkhart, IN.
Thank you to you both for coming to meet me in Chicago and spending a couple of hours of walking around in the sun!
Read MoreWhat a crazy spring/summer it has been! We had scheduled Ashley & Tyler's engagement session at Ball State University (where they met, and therefore one of their fave places). The morning of their shoot, there was a MASSIVE storm! We decided to proceed with the shoot anyway, no matter what we were given. The day turned out to be perfect, a little damp on the ground, but great anyway. We did get caught in a little rain, but mostly we managed to walk around campus dry!
Read MoreYou know when you meet 2 people and they just click... well, those two are Kayla and Niel! They click. I absolutely adore the way Niel looks at Kayla, even when no one is looking.
Kayla and Niel chose to do their first look and some of their formal photos at St Mary's College campus. I love shooting here as it isn't as busy as Notre Dame, but also has a lot to offer. Brick, ivy, staircases, and beautiful archways. Kayla also got ready at the stunningly beautiful Inn At St Marys, so St Marys campus made for a great first look location due to its close proximity to where she and her bridesmaids were getting ready.
Read MoreWhat a great day for Catie & Matt's wedding. The weather was iffy for the whole day but we lucked out with great weather for their portraits! Their ceremony was absolutely stunning at Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame followed by the amazing reception at the Century Center in South Bend.
All the vendors at Catie & Matts wedding were incredible!
Read MoreChristina and I have been friends for several years. In fact, she was one of my first clients. When we were discussing her wedding photos she told me how much she would love to redo some of her portraits in her wedding dress... so of course we had to make that happen.
We met at Sanibel Island in Florida, where she was married and I actually found out this is the same spot where Jason also proposed to her. We got to redo some of her wedding portraits around the hotel where they were married as well as the beach at Sanibel.
