Past the Point of Pintervention

Ladies, brides, let’s talk Pinterest. I could probably launch into a long discussion of how it’s a time waster, how it makes us feel like we aren’t doing enough or being enough or crafting enough, but we all know it. But I love it. Oh, do I love it. While some recipes may be a […]

Everyday love

I suspect that many of us are seeing our facebook feeds full of profile pictures from wedding photos, pictures of chocolates & flowers, and proclamations of love left and right today. After all, it’s Valentine’s day, the day we feast on and dish out love to the world. For many people, this day sucks. Sucks. […]

Wedding shoes – Mine & Yours

There are so many decisions that go into wedding planning. So many. I didn’t realize how many. Decisions, indecisions, changed decisions, rescinded decisions. All different types of decisions. Some were difficult for me, some difficult for Dan. Take, for example, our shoe selections for our wedding day. Honestly, as a bride, I think the decision […]

Tatiana & Alex – South Bend wedding photographer

First of all, let me state for the record that there is rarely a wedding I don’t enjoy being a part of….that being said, Tatiana & Alex’s November 10 wedding was absolutely a riot! Unlike most weddings, I was not the only professional hired. Alex’s uncle Greg, a very VERY good photographer from Ohio, would […]

Wedding details – OURS!

So many of you know Dan & I are getting ready to “tie the knot,” and I can’t even count the number of people who have asked some specific details. Sharing who some of my key vendors are is a big deal to me. They are a big part of the flavor, the texture, and […]

You Have Two Babies – Grand Rapids Newborn Photographer

So less than a year ago, my good friends Tina & Bret adopted the sweetest little chubster, Liam. Not too much later, I dropped off their disk of images and a beautiful canvas Tina ordered, and was shown a sweet picture of baby Liam (about 8 weeks old then) wearing a shirt that said “I’m […]

{Dan & Audrey} – Grand Rapids wedding photographer

The majority of my blog posts start with words of happiness and joy….this one is going to be a little more somber to start. We would like to offer our sincere condolences to Dan’s family on the loss of his step-mother, Tonya Reagan, who passed away unexpectedly the day after the wedding. Our hearts hurt […]

{Tracie & Steve} – Chicago wedding photographer

Ask any librarian where to find a good love story, and they will point you in the right direction. Ask THIS librarian (Tracie) where to find a good love story, and chances are she’ll be able to tell you a great one over a cup of coffee. Which is where their love story began…over a […]

{Lauren & Kyle} – Camp Blodgett Wedding Photographer

Grab a beverage, some popcorn, or at least a snack, this is going to be a long one. When I first met Lauren & Kyle last year, I instantly like them, and I swear it had nothing to do with the “lives in New York City designs purses for a living” bride. I swear. Because […]

{Mindy & Ramsey} – Las Vegas wedding photographer

Well this is sure going to be a special blog post (aka long)….because it’s not just that I got to photograph a beautiful bride in a gorgeous location….it’s because it’s my sister’s wedding! It’s hard to know where to start on this one, because it was a day (or days) full of so many wonderful […]
