One of my dearest friends is getting married this November. When she asked if we would do their engagement session I was more than thrilled. We pulled out all the stops on this one, I might have gotten a little carried away – 3 different locations with 4 outfit changes. But, I’m the matron of honor, I’m allowed to get a little carried away in the details:) Thanks for being such great sports Chet & Jessie, I can’t wait to be part of your wedding day!
lse & Curtis are a sweet couple getting married at the Nature Center this September. We had a blast exploring the nature center for their engagement session. They were troopers and were great models even with the heat and swarms of mosquitos. Its obvious that they are in love and devoted to one another. They are both graduate students at WMU going for their Phd’s in English Literature. We are so happy to be part of this time of their lives!
Here are a few of my favorite images and a slideshow of the session. Enjoy!
Melanie & Dan are engaged! What a sweet couple. Young and in love and ready to take on the world. They met through mutual friends at Western, went to a concert together and the relationship began. Dan proposed on December 23rd at the Kalamazoo House Bed and Breakfast after dinner and a carriage ride through downtown. They are getting married on the one year anniversary of their engagement! We had a lovely time getting to know them during their engagement session. They have a fun dog – Sparky who came along for the occasion. Plainwell has a lot to offer, Eesley Mill has tons of architectural character, as well as an old fashioned truck parked out front, railroad tracks, and a great corrugated pole barn across the street! But best of all, Plainwell Ice Cream is a few steps away:) Thanks to Dan’s parents for taking care of Sparky as we finished up our session!
Here are a few of my favorite images, and a slideshow of the entire session.
Enjoy!

I had the pleasure of traveling to New Mexico with my mom & dad, and aunt on my birthday in January. We went to visit my cousin Laura and her family and their newest addition – baby Cael. The mountains were beautiful, and rosemary is like a shrub there! We had a blast spending time together. Here are my favorite images and a slideshow of them all.
Dave’s Cousin Callie and her husband Michael are expecting their first baby soon. We did a maternity session for them and were also able to spend some time with their two amazing English Bulldogs, Hamish and Gracie. They were great models and the camera loved them!
I found some fun facts about bulldogs in an article by Bobby Callahan. “Bulldogs, one of the most popular show dogs of recent time, are loved by many people for their sweet-temperament and friendly behavior. They are also known as British or English Bulldogs. Owing to their names, they reflect a true elegance and tenderness in their dealing with other animals including human.”
Last month Dave and I traveled to Wisconsin to do a maternity session for his cousin Callie & her husband Michael. They are a beautiful couple, they made my job very easy. Here are my favorite images from the day and a slideshow of them all. They also have two amazing Bulldogs. Pictures of them are to come.
About a month ago one of my great friends & her family met me at Brook Lodge in Galesburg for a fun family session. Bringing balloons was a great way to get one of the little girls focused on having fun instead of just having her picture taken:) Here are my favorite images from the day, and a slideshow.
