Hiiiii Again!

Hiiiii! I am trying to be better about actually showing my face so people actually know who I am. I am a millennial through and through and you can never take the mirror pictures away from. Sorry not sorry!

I will forever take a mirror selfie when there’s a mirror, I also know so many song lyrics I should not remember but alas, here we are but I cannot remember why I walked into a room.

I want to live in the city but also have land and never have to see anyone ever and I love our slower lifestyle.

Thats all this time, thanks for being here.

Marisa + Anthony | Engagement

The one thing I really love about engagement sessions is that they showcase you! Marisa and Anthony had one of their first dates at Yates Cider Mill and then Anthony proposed there as well. So having their engagement session at Yates was only fitting.

We started on the trail with some more traditional and posed images before they both got warmed up.

Then we headed back up to the front to get some photos by the barn.

Then we obviously had to get some cider and donuts because what trip to the cider mill ends without donuts and cider? None. The ONLY correct answer is none.

Are you getting married in 2026 or 2027? I’d love to be considered for your engagement session and/or your wedding!

Monica + Ross [Wedding]

Okay, Okay, get all your “Friends” references out now! They are not related + they are in LOVE! Actually these two were so adorable and I loved capturing their day. It was sooo laid back + it doubled as a family reunion so most of their gallery is family portraits of all their different combinations of families.

We took a small break in family portraits to capture their ceremony, which come to find out, this was Ross’ first wedding and Monica has been the first and only person to get him to finally get married, which is amazing and adorable and I love that so much for them.

After their ceremony, we finished with formal family portraits and took some time to each. We finished the day with stealing the newlyweds to the docks and capturing some intimate images of them together, just the two of them.

Telesha + Jon [Vow Renewnal]

When Telesha + Jon asked me to photograph their vow renewal, I was elated! It was for their 20th wedding anniversary and they were having a private vow exchange on the beach up north on Lake Michigan. The “ceremony” was nothing short of love filled, God centered, prayerful and not a dry eye left the beach.

We started the day with all the girls (not pictured) going to downtown Petosky to do touristy things. Then went back to the house to get ready. We did a first look at the tunnel of trees and dodged SOO many cars in the process, but it was 100% worth it and I would 100% do it again.

Then, we headed to a dune area to do formal portraits that included family, friends that doubled as their “bridal party”.

Finally, off to the beach for their private vow renewal. They had personal vows and just read them to each and ended their ceremony with a watch exchange + prayer. And of course, we couldn’t not do sunset photos on the beach.

Are you planning an elopement or a vow renewal? I would love to talk to you about being included in your day/trip. Head over to the contact me page and fill out the contact form so we can get a phone/facetime consult on the schedule to go over your vision.

Kelsey + Chris [Wedding]

This wedding kicked off my entire wedding season this year and it was honestly such a good wedding experience. My second, Emily, and I showed up to witness Kelsey finish getting ready and do all the detail shots. Then we went to the venue for the first look. It rained, then it stopped. It rained, then it stopped. But we were able to have the ceremony outside as planned, and capture all the family portraits before it started to rain again.

Once the reception was on it’s way and we all ate, we stole the couple to go to the pier with an umbrella, because rain, and captured some amazing photographs on the pier with a back light, some flashes + an umbrella in the rain. What should’ve been sunset, was rain + an umbrella but the images turned out so good and they’re unique to their wedding, which I love.

The reception was nothing short of amazing too. From the first dances to the actual dance floor being opened, everyone had such a good time and was dancing and just having a blast.

I am currently booking into 2027 for weddings and if you want to chat about your day, please feel free to send me an email or fill out the contact form on the “contact me” page.
