. . . “Oh baby it’s cold outside!” is a total understatement for this winter session with Cristina and Josh! It was a crisp 24 degrees with a slight breeze coming off the lake when I met up with these two cuties at the former historic mansion of Edsel and Eleanor Ford. You would never know it from looking at these images, though, how cold it actually was because of how much fun Cristina & Josh were to photograph! . . .
Read More. . . Victoria and KM’s love story is truly an international adventure story! They first met back in 2014 while they were both living & working in the Virgin Islands; Victoria as a marine & environmental science masters student and KM as a carpenter. They met through mutual friends at a dodge ball game and after that they kept running into each other until they eventually became a couple! KM is from Denmark and when he went back to finish his degree in construction engineering, Victoria decided to move to Denmark, too! Over the next five years together, these two bounced back and forth between the US, Denmark, and the Seychelles in East Africa! Like I said, a truly international love story full of adventure!! . . .

The temperature was a comfortable 72 degrees and the sun really showed off it's glowy, evening magic! ✨Jessica told me prior to their session that she and Adam weren't really that photogenic, but I think these photos prove that is the exact opposite from the truth! . . .
Read MoreAbby and Felipe first met while working at Fermi Nuclear Power plant back in 2017 (or as Felipe put it, "she couldn't keep her eyes off of me!"), and when they suggested we hold their engagement session in Historic Monroe, MI, I was completely game!
I actually lived in the Monroe area for the past several years, and loved having an opportunity to photograph Abby & Felipe downtown and in the place where they basically met and fell in love. We lucked out with the weather (no rain, which was what the forecast called for), and the evening light was absolutely stunning. These two were the best as we walked around the city in the high humidity and they were such a joy to work with!

On their last trip to the Magic Kingdom, and while watching the castle fireworks show, David proposed to Alyssa! Talk about the perfect spot!

They’d all have dinner at her parent’s home from time to time. Even though Joe said it was her Dad’s beer cheese soup that really reeled him in, these two couldn’t deny their connection and started dating! . . .
Read MoreAlex & Joe's love story began, as most do in the digital age, with a couple of right swipes on Tinder and they fell in love while trying out new restaurants together, binge watching Netflix, and by being open and honest with each other even when it was tough to do so! . . .

“So I can kiss you anytime I want.” - Sweet Home Alabama
There’s something I like to call the “almost kiss.” It’s when two people lean in to kiss each other and it’s the few milliseconds right before their lips meet. This is the kind of kiss you see a lot of the time on the cover of romance novels or that the camera zooms in on in the movies. Jackie was the queen of the almost kiss!! . . .
Read MorePop the champagne!! I’d like to make a toast because Josh proposed to Taylor in Hart Plaza and I had the honor of photographing the moment she said “YES!” It all began about 1 month prior when Josh emailed me about his plans to propose to his girlfriend, Taylor. Josh really wanted to make the day special and planned to go into Detroit on August 2nd to celebrate her birthday with a nice dinner, a concert, and, unbeknownst to Taylor, a surprise proposal right in the heart of downtown and he wanted a me there to photograph it! . . .
