I had such a great time spending the evening with Casey + Lindsey..... and I even got to meet their puppy, Boy (isn't Boy just the cutest name?!). I photographed Lindsey's sisters wedding on New Years Eve a couple years back and I went to the same high school as Casey, so it was really great to spend time with the two of them together and get to know them as a couple. There wedding is in the Fall (my very favorite season), and it can't come soon enough!

One of the best parts about being a wedding photography is watching families grow. I've been so blessed to share some special memories with Greg and Stacey having photographed their engagement in Chicago, summer wedding a few years ago, and now as they welcome their little baby girl. Stacey you are a beautiful mother to be, thank you for sharing such special moments with me. I can't wait to meet her!
A very special thank you to Romence Gardens and Greenhouses for their warm friendly staff who was more than accommodating in letting us use their lovely space for pictures. It's hard to predict the weather here in Michigan in early March, and the greenhouse provided a much needed spring feel of lush green growth. Also, thank you to Alyssa from Fleurology for the flower crown that added a perfect pop of color.
I love when my couples make their engagement sessions meaningful. We started out with Ally + Mitchell's beautiful son, Brayden, in the studio and ended at Grand Haven where Mitchell proposed to Ally. I think its safe to say you have a man that loves you when he braves the freezing cold at Grand Haven to propose AND to do engagement photos. Counting down the days until Ally + Mitchell tie the knot at Bowen's Mills!

I take for granted just how many amazing pieces of art we have around Grand Rapids, mostly because of Art Prize, and there's something new and unique every year. It is truly something special here in my city, and it was finally time to incorporate one of my favorite murals into a photo session (I've had my eye on it for a while) Amanda and Bryan were definitely over due for a night out together away from their two little ones, luckily their engagement session here inGrand Rapids was a great excuse for a date night. We started in my lovely downtown studio with some wine, and then headed out downtown for sunset. Who knew that February would feel like spring, Michigan weather is so so crazy but in this case I had no complaint. Thanks for spending your date night with me, it's was a blast hanging out with you two! Looking forward to that special wedding day.
