A mild obsession – laundry

I’ve had the fortune to travel extensively over the past few years, and on one of my first trips I took a picture of laundry that became the start of a series of photographs that I continue to try to take on any international trip. Since then, only one country, the Netherlands, has eluded me […]

Lisa and David’s Virginia Bluemont Vineyard wedding

It seems like every blog post I feel like I start out with begins with “this couple is so special to us because _______” and truly, each and every couple IS special to us. But there are some (sorry, folks) that are so close to your heart that sharing in their day is not only […]

Kim and Eric – Kalamazoo-Loft310-wedding-photographer

I’ve talked a lot lately about the friendships we have been developing with the clients we have this year. Eric and Kim are NO exception to this….in fact, I think we’ve spent more time developing the friendships than we ever did talking about the wedding. Even our engagement session (rained out) turned into a fabulous […]

Alexa & Mark – Holland-and-Kalamazoo-wedding

This is one of those blogs where I will admittedly overuse a word…..and that word is sweet. When I first met Mark & Alexa, I may have drooled a little. A beautiful Dimnent Chapel wedding at Hope College, and a gorgeous reception featuring Jeni’s Splendid Icecream Macaroons…..and some sweet swoon-worthy details. And her dress, oh […]

Kate & Ryan-City Flats Ballroom wedding

Oh, how I wish you all could have been there to witness this wedding.  Think of the greatest (not cheesiest) love story movie you’ve seen, and you have just a little picture of what Kate & Ryan’s story is like. The beautiful ceremony at City Flats Hotel in Grand Rapids was the stage for the […]

Kim & Alban – Bay Harbor wedding

I think one of the most exciting parts about having taken this path in life is that it occasionally leads back to where I started…my roots…my childhood, and old friendships. This is one of those stories. Kim & I have known each other since we were young girls – growing up in the same small […]

Brittany & Allen – Homestead Resort wedding

It seems like so long ago that I first heard from Brittany about her May 25 wedding at the Homestead Resort – because in that time, we have grown to appreciate them not just as clients, but as friends. With a common love of craft beer, and Brittany’s sweet help with our little Zeus buddy, […]

Beth & Ernie Married – Michigan wedding photographer

What seems like just a few weeks ago I posted a little blog about Beth and Ernie. This past weekend, May 18th, marked their beautiful southern Michigan wedding – full of laughter, friends, fun, and tricks on how to make your chin look beter in photos. 🙂 First of all, I have to say I’ve […]

invited to the party – michigan wedding photographer

Part of the fun of being wedding photographers is getting invitations from couples. A few of them we request so we can have them on hand to photograph the day of the wedding, and some are just sent to us as surprises. Regardless of how we receive them, it’s so fun to see the many […]

craft photography-craft life

So, you may have noticed this phrase “craft photography. craft life.” popping up in either my instagram feed or on my watermark – or maybe you didn’t notice it at all (really, it’s ok if you didn’t). As Dan and I have merged our lives together, and have thought about/talked about/dreamed about what we want […]
