A little over a year ago I got to photograph cute Asher as he was just turning one year old. A year later, they’ve moved from A to Z with the addition of their second son (whose name is Zade). Since Zade was so eager to have his pictures taken with his new family, we [...]

When I first met with Dana, I was instantly excited about her personality – just sweet, all around.  When we got to talking about how she and Jason met, the little wheels in my head started turning, and I started imagining a winter photoshoot with vintage skis, cozy blankets, and a lot of love to [...]

As a “thank you” to my fabulous 2011 couples, I’m running a little contest…..to celebrate them, to celebrate you, and to show off a new frame line I am promoting. There is a lot to it, a few steps to it, but I’ll try to make it simple. How you can participate: 1) “Like” lizzie [...]

I first met the lovely Josh & Sarah at a coffee shop in Grand Rapids, but we had a somewhat shared connection – Josh’s parents live in my itty bitty home town of Ellsworth, MI, and although Josh & I never met it was fun to share that connection. Fast forward to their August 27, [...]

I met Bridge years ago (ok, not years, but a few) when her good friend, and mine, Emily got married. Anyone who knows B knows she’s so easy to love – fabulous personality, big heart, and a smile that lights up a room. When she got engaged and told me she was going to get [...]

Detail shots are an important part of every wedding, and the rings are no exception. Mainly because they are so sparkly and pretty. I’m a girl, I’m sorry, they are sparkly and pretty. One of the things I tend to say to people is “if you want the picture of your hands with rings over [...]

Not only have I had some fabulous clients this year, some adorable children (and if you note earlier posts on this blog, some “treasures” I’ve had the opportunity to photograph some children all over the world again! This year I photographed a former high school friends’ kids, watched babies grow from birth to almost 1 [...]

Amber & Nate’s fall wedding was full of gorgeous colors – beautiful dresses, HOT PINK shoes (yes, hot pink, I was DROOLING), and amazing fall colors…..so why are all these in black & white? Umm, because they needed to be…..not to “save” the photo, but because I had to. Had to. I’m slightly obsessed with [...]

I love my brides. I really do. I love your dresses. Your updos. Your SHOES (I’ve had two Stephanies with Uh-MAZE-ing footwear. Coincidence? I think not). But most of all I love how well you all listen when I say “trust me” and you get into that pose that may seem a little odd to [...]
