Engagement Sessions

The aroma of hot chocolate slowly rose into the air as Megan’s fiancé, Josh, poured the warm, rich drink into our cups. The cameras had been put back into their bags, and the four of us had just said “goodbye,” when Megan remembered “We brought hot chocolate for everyone!” In that moment, any memory of […]

Her laughter could be easily heard over the howling winds as he escorted her through the side streets of Detroit. Although the chilling temperatures would normally bring an abrupt end to the fun evening, Riley and Peter were determined to enjoy their engagement photos to the fullest, no matter the cost. From crossing busy streets […]

Before the world wakes up, there is a brief window of time where the morning light meets the soft silence. Although the sacrifice of sleep may not feel like it’s worth it, a sunrise session has all the hallmarks of a truly magical experience.

It started on a beach in South Haven, Michigan. As Julie and Frank walked down the shore, Julie was totally unaware that behind them, two photographers were capturing the seconds leading up to one of the biggest moments of her life. Fast forward almost nine months later and those same photographers were meeting with Julie […]
