Family portraits - Flint





Baby M was ready for the world 2 months early. So even thou it was her 3 month portrait session she was still pretty tiny. Her little personality was already beaming through. She had a no touch hand policy that she strictly enforced on me with her little stubbornness when I tried to move them! And she even rolled over, on me. Whoa!! Baby M & her beaming new parents were so sweet & tolerant of my poses. I hope you love the photos as much as I do!!

children portraits - Clarkston




When I first met this little guy all I had was sit him down & he couldn't yet move anywere! Just a short time later & he is growing so big. It goes by so fast! I love being able to see the kids grow up & love that they ask me to photograph the progression. Happy 2 years old!!

Engagement session - Clarkston




Engagement session #2 in one day! Due to heavy rain in May I had to rebook several of my photo session. Luckily Friday was beautiful & I was able to accommodate both my couples on Friday before Memorial weekend. I have said time & time again... think outside of the box for your photos. We didn't do anything crazy... but they were willing to get into the water, & well that worked for me!! Jenna & Toby see you in July for your wedding!

Engagement session - Rochester Hills





Sarah & Ryan chose to have their engagement session in Rochester. One of my favorite places to photograph. Several cancellations due to bad weather & time constraints we ended up photographing on an extremely warm sunny day. Looking for shade where ever we could; I didn't want my very beautiful couple squinting or sweating into the afternoon sun! They turned out fabulous! See you in July for your big day!!

Memorial weekend - Movement Festival






Movement... what's that? Well its the best place you can dance your butt off & its not even bar hours!!

Its a 3 day weekend that features top djs from around the world that specialize in techno, drum & bass, house, & many more delicious beats that will make you shake your booty! The event has corporate sponsors, like Vitamin Water & Ford. This takes place at Heart Plaza in Detroit, every Memorial weekend for the past 10 years!

I have gone almost every year. This year was no exception...even the rain on Monday didn't keep me away! I was only able to make it for a short time this year, but it was worth every second. As I was able to catch Stacey Pullen's set from the Main stage! Whoo hoo!!!!

If you have never been... go! Its great people watching, awesome rhythms, & better exercise than the gym!

Memorial weekend

what a fabulous weekend! I had 2 engagement shoots, a family picnic, Detroits Movement festival, a boudior session, and my brother left for Texas... whew!!
I want to share with you first about my brother. He is in the service for the Army. Trying to get his life together, but hasn't had much luck in the job market. He has been itching to go to Texas where he was once stationed. My family was secretly hoping that he would stay in Michigan. But with little options he packed his bags & headed down south. We will miss him terribly. He is my little brother, always will be. Wishing you much luck in your state, but remember your always welcomed home. I love you!!! Here are some photos of that day...
