Newborn and puppy

Baby Hudson | Royal Oak Newborn Photographer Newborn sessions are easily one of my favorite things to photograph. I absolutely love getting to capture the precious moments of a growing family. I will always encourage my clients to include the whole family in newborn sessions. This means siblings and fur babies too, of course! The […]

It’s no secret that 2020 brought on many challenges for those planning weddings. Despite all of the ups and downs, Mel and Brittany exchanged their vows in an intimate wedding at the Royal Park Hotel. It may not have been the wedding they originally planned to have, but it was absolutely beautiful and beyond emotional. […]

Maria and Matt’s wedding day was one of those pandemic weddings where plan B ended up being so much more incredible than plan A.It was another wedding full of ups and downs in terms of getting to the date and making the actual wedding happen, but they pulled it off. Maria and Matt were originally […]

Baby Brooks | Metro Detroit Newborn Photographer   Welcome to the world, Brooks!

The sun decided to peek out a couple of times during their session and made for the perfect […]

Alex and Paul met while working at Boston’s as a bartender and hostess so it only made sense to take some of their engagement photos where it all began! I love when couples incorporate locations that are meaningful to them. After taking a few photos at the restaurant, we headed to Alex’s grandparent’s lake house. […]

This impromptu engagement session was SO much fun! Amanda (AKA Detroit Dog Mom) is one of my best friends, so naturally I have been waiting for her and Jeff to get engaged so I could get them in front of my camera. We had actually been planning an engagement session for the two of them, […]

This is hands down one of the hardest blog posts of the year for a few reasons. The main reason being that I have shot so many amazing couples over the last year that I have WAY too many favorites and had the hardest time narrowing down my favorites. Some of these couples got married […]

Detroit has come a long way and serves as such a classic backdrop for photos…especially when it SNOWS! I knew it was going to be cold for Amanda and Tony’s engagement session, but I didn’t know that we would get the most perfect snow right out of a snow globe. People get stressed and worried […]

I am so excited to share Elena and Billy’s STUNNING engagement session at the Detroit Public Library! It was actually pouring rain the day of their session, so we did most of the photos inside, but snuck out for a couple at the end 😉 Rainy sessions just may be my new favorite…wait until you […]

I always encourage my couples to do an engagement session with me because it gives us a chance to work together before the wedding; almost like a practice run..well, for portraits at least hahah! This is the main reason I now include an engagement session in my wedding package! Even if you don’t want to […]

Brittany reached out to me a while back about shooting her and Michael’s wedding, but they haven’t been able to set a date just yet. Since Michael is in the military, it’s a little bit difficult to plan a wedding when you don’t know when you’ll be home! Michael happened to get some time off […]

This session has left me nearly speechless and it is definitely one of my new favorite engagement sessions. Kate and I have been friends for a long time, and I am so excited for her and Mike to be getting married next summer! I am working on a little project so I asked if they […]
