WELCOME

I started this blog as a way for people to get to know me a little better, see my work and read some of the stories behind the images. I am so blessed to be able to do something that I love so much. Creating art. Giving people something that they will cherish and pass down through the generations. I love it and I look forward to working with you!

internet fun

Signed up with facebook a little while ago and it's such a fun place for chatting with friends and networking. Click the link above and add me as your Facebook friend. :)

I also recently joined Flickr HERE. Not many pictures there yet, but if you have a Flickr account add me as one of your contacts and I'll add you right back. :) I love browsing through the endless pictures there. So much inspiration. I also like searching through people's travel pictures. I found all sorts of great pictures of places in Germany that I went when we lived there but never took pictures of because all I had was a pathetic point and shoot. One day I will go back to Europe with my trusty SLR in hand and capture it like I wish I would have when I had the chance.

missing summer

Looking out my window at snow and bitter cold temps as I search my hard drive for pictures like this from last summer to warm me up. This is from my camping trip in July with my good friend Jen. Camped in Pentwater and took a little trip to Silver Lake to ride the sand dunes. It was a perfect day!

I hate winter, but I like this quote. And it totally applies to my life right now.

ida + eric • engagement 1.9.08

I don't normally shoot engagements in January since I work outdoors for my sessions and you never know what the weather's going to be like in winter. But when Eric's mom called a while ago and asked if I would be willing to shoot her son's engagement, I was up for it. She wanted to do something special for them before Ida went back to her home in Norway at the end of this week and this was the only time we could do it. Luckily, the weather cooperated and, although we didn't have any snow like I was sort of hoping for (crazy Michigan weather!), we got some great shots. Such a sweet couple and they both have great smiles! :) Here are a few favorites:
