MSU Campus Engagement Session

Holly and Daniel met at Michigan State University Campus (MSU) while in college and we had so much fun exploring some amazing gardens on campus with them. The MSU Horticulture Gardens, MSU 4-H Children's Garden and Clarence E. Lewis Landscape Arboretum were stunning at every turn and I can’t wait to go back. While it was much overcast and much colder than we anticipated, I am so obsessed with how beautiful it all turned out. These two are getting married at Cornman Farms next year and I can’t wait to be there for that magical day too.

Ann Arbor Summer Engagement Session

I know I say this about every post on here but this session and these two are some of my favorite people. Not only as they just wonderful people but they also put their full trust in me to create some magic. I took them around some of my favorite places around Ann Arbor; the Arb and Peony Garden, the Law Quad and Michigan Stadium.

What I hear most often from couples after their engagement session is that it was more than fun than they thought it was going to be. I always tell couples at the beginning of a shoot, lean into the awkward. What that mean? If feeling awkward makes you laugh, do it! If you want to kiss, do it! If you want to snuggle, do it! I am always there for direction but these moments I cannot create, they happen. You make it happen, I am just there to capture the magic!

Airport Hanger Engagement Session

Oh my goodness, I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since I posted a blog! I’ve been so deep in the trenches of shooting and motherhood that it has fallen on the back burner but I have so much work to share. I hope someday I can go back and catch up but first I have been dying to share this recent engagement session with Brittany and Justin.

When I first talked to Brittany on the phone I knew she was my people and we would be a great fit. I could not be more excited that she and Justin picked me to capture their winter wedding at Cornman Farms this December.

From the second she first mentioned using an airplane hanger as our engagement session location I was all in! Not only was the location unique, but it was also meaningful to them. I really played with the idea of this location being subtle, with hints of where we may be but not all in your face. In the end, I could not love them and these images more and I think it turned out to be pure magic.

So thankful to have met these two, we had so much fun on this shoot and I hope you enjoy!
