High School Seniors

I've been getting some inquiries for high school seniors and I would love to do more.

As you know, my style is a little more lifestyle based and dramatic...so here's a slideshow of 4 sassy senior girls that I had such a great time with.

Thank you Erin, Amanda, Margo and Courtney for being such an inspiration and being so brave with my ideas.

Senior Sessions are $500 w/ a $250 credit toward prints and product for a Traverse City location. Prints start at $20.

Check out the latest Knot Magazine!

I was given the wonderful opportunity to participate in and photograph the Knot Marketplace Party at the VanAndel Museum in Grand Rapids for the Knot Magazine's Fall/Winter issue. This party is given by the Knot to show appreciation for the area wedding artists and vendors. What a wonderful time!

Chandra Demers of Weddings, Inc. put together yet another classy, cool event featuring local vendors from Traverse City. She is truly amazing at what she does and you should definitely hire her if you want a stress free and unique wedding day!

Here's the entire slideshow:

We Are Family!

Yes, I'm totally a child of the 80's...anywho...

Hey, it's that time of year again! Woohoo! Summer is here!
I'm getting tons of requests for family sessions,
so I thought I'd take a little time to share some info and a little bit about my style.

Here is a slideshow that best describes my laid back style and the fun that can be had.
This is from one of my favorite 2006 sessions at one of my favorite summer rentals to work at, Roby's Retreat in Omena, MI. Why is it a favorite? The light was great, the location ideal and this large family looks terrif all dressed to put focus on the face and not the clothes.
Not to mention, they were a total blast and I want to have fun.

I do beach sessions one hour before sunset Monday through Friday.

Sessions start at
$500 w/ a $250 credit
Retouched art prints start at $20.
Albums & all sorts of other goodies also available.

Everyone Raved about the Guest Book!

Remember the sassy winter engagement with Rita and Dave?
Well, I designed a guestbook for their guests to sign on their wedding day.
Everyone LOVED it!







There are so many awesome things about these books.
1) The quality & presentation are truly impressive...the perfect coffee table book.
2) You now have a pretty place to put all those engagement shots you wanted.
3) The catty girls are going to be soooooooo jealous. :)
4) You might actually look at your guest book from time to time...it's a Keepsake!
5) They're just wicked cool.

Here's a look at the entire design
