Shaina and Brian: Wedding Preview

While Heather was out experiencing the Haunting of Felt Mansion, I had the great privilege of coming up to Spring Lake to photograph Shaina and Brian.  These two are a beautiful couple and fabulously in love!  I had so much fun working with them!  Shaina is the most sweet, kind, and WILD bride I've had the pleasure of working with.  One of our new second shooters-Marjo, was shooting with me and while she was working with the guys, Shaina and I were coming up with all sorts of fun ideas for shots later in the day.  This couple was a blast, we tried a ton of new stuff....some of it only I would think up(as Heather would say) and got to enjoy a beautiful day in picturesque West Michigan.  From the wedding in Spring Lake, through an awesome trolley ride to Pier Marquette, and on to the reception in Grand Haven, I was reminded every minute just why I love what I do so much!  I hope you enjoy your pics guys, and remember, if you change your mind about needing a photographer with you in St. Joseph......well, you know my number ;)

Lisa-Marie & Ryan - A Wedding Preview

Wow....this wedding was unlike any other I've ever photographed!  First of all, Jason and I split up and each were covering separate weddings-- I was in Saugatuck at the Felt Mansion with Lisa-Marie and Ryan.  Second of all, the mood of the wedding was just INCREDIBLE!  Dark, yet romantic.  Classy, yet fun.  And, I was working with one of our new second shooters, Sally.  

Given the history of the mansion and the rumors of it being haunted (both Sally and myself did see doors opening and slamming shut by themselves) , I found myself shooting a lot of couple poses with a dark and moody look-- almost giving it a haunted feel.  

I'm not going to keep rambling about this (I could for a while!) but rather, just give you the photos...it took me a while to narrow these down to some of my favorites.  I shot A LOT and there were a ton of great ones.  

Enjoy and leave some feedback!

Cole turns 4 years old!

I am SOOOO far behind on my blogs...so far behind that I don't know where to even start anymore!  With this summer looking even more busy than before I don't see this getting any better- so for those of you who check back just bear with me and I'll do my best to at least put my favorites up!  :)

Cole is DEFINITELY one of my favorite sessions of late!  This little guy LOVED bugs (they're not really my cup of tea, but hey, I guess I'm not a 4 year old boy either!) and he was lucky enough to find some bugs on the barn in one of our new locations!  

Check out how cute this kid is!

And, the bugs....

Andrea & Wes - Newborn Session

Scroll down one or two blog posts and you will see some images from Andrea & Wes' maternity session.  They're back again, this time with a 7 day old baby in tow!  Newborn sessions are perfect to do when the little one is between 1 and 2 weeks of age. They're more pliable and sleepy, allowing us to do a lot more with them!

Here are a couple of my favorites from the session-- enjoy!

Congratulations you guys-- he's beautiful!
