Ryan & Lorena's Engagement Session

Ryan and Lorena are so cute together. I love that Lorena can't stop smiling. She thinks her smile is too big. But it's perfect. And it lights up everything around her.

We got together in Elizabeth Park in Trenton, Michigan for their engagement shoot. Check them out...

Kay & Trevor's engagement session

Meet Kay & Trevor! What a GREAT looking couple and super cool personalities as well. This guy totally digs his girl and she is sooo into him = makes my job fun!!! I had the pleasure of doing their engagement session last fall at Wildwood Preserve Metropark.
It rained and rained and rained all that day and when it came time to do their scheduled shoot, all of the sudden it cleared up and let in some amazing light. The REALLY cool part of it: usually the park is packed with people (because it's such a beautiful place to be), but there was barely anyone there because it did rain ALL DAY - so it was like we had the whole place to ourselves :o)
I am soo looking forward to doing their 2012 wedding!!!!

Just a F.Y.I to all new brides, I am now offering (actually requiring) Engagement Session with all weddings that get booked. It REALLY makes all the difference in your wedding images. You see, the Engagement Sessions breaks the ice early on in our relationship (like the first 10-15 minutes) and you feel alot more natural and comfortable around the camera. This goes a LONG WAY in creating your most precious & beautiful memories, keep this in mind when looking for a professional photographer... Also keep in mind the personality of your photographer because they can make (or break) the mood of your most awesome Wedding Day. I have witnessed over the years some tragic episodes that professional photographers have created and I swore that I would NEVER even consider doing to someone on their Wedding Day. My cousin paid high $$$ for a "professional photographer" for his wedding on the East Coast. This "professional" was rude, arrogant and down right mean to everyone, including the my cousin & his new wife! This poor behavior actually made me really think about how my positive attitude would only benefit my career as a Professional Photographer and that my clients would truly value Me documenting their Perfect Day :o)

Enjoy Kay & Trevor's Engagement Session photos!

 Great light, right?

I LOVE belly laughs!

Carly & Chris' Engagement Session

Meet Carly & Chris!They drove all the way from Columbus, OH for their engagement session. I was sooo excited to do a downtown Toledo photo shoot and had all my places mapped out for our session and on Sunday morning (the day of our session) it rained and it rained and rained. I looked at the radar and there was a big green blob that covered us in NW Ohio for most of the day. Needless to say, I was sooo bummed out... then the light bulb went off in my head and remembered this jewel. It is a little piece of history, right in the heart of downtown Toledo plus it has the coolest architectural details! Carly & Chris were pleasantly surprised with this building and to top it off we got sooo many amazing images~

I am looking forward to their August 2012 wedding!

We were at Wildwood Metropark last weekend for their engagament session and we made it a family portrait session as well :) Their kids are sooo stinkin cute and soooo well behaved, I had so much fun working with them!

Chrissy works at the University of Michigan, so of course their BIG U of M fans! Personally I am not a football fan at all (neither college nor professional) but my husband is, and he says I should at least support our local teams and I agree :) Go Blue!!!
