So many things have happened to you this year. You are in love, you got engaged, and now, you’re planning a wedding! Congratulations!! It’s amazingly fun, isn’t it? I’m sure you were excited to hit up the local bridal shows and scooped up as much information and ideas as possible. Believe me, walking through a bridal show is inspiring, to say the least. But after you pushed through the crowds,...
Life is like a camera
Something to remember… 🙂...
Snow Dogs
Here in Grand Rapids, Michigan we’ve had a few snow days, so of course, we had to go out and take advantage!! Hobbes and Kermit just love being in front of the camera. In fact, they’re getting so used to it, they’re now asking for their own makeup trailers and are drafting up a rider. Divas… ...
Happy New Year!
We might be just a tad late on this, but Kermit the dog wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year!!...
Favorites
Everyone has their favorites, right? Favorite movie, favorite ice cream (moose tracks, holla!). Well here’s a favorite of mine from the 2012 wedding season. These two were so fabulous, and the Blue Dress Barn was a phenomenal venue, I highly recommend them!...
Be You. Be Fabulous.
I’ve been to and photographed a LOT of weddings, and there’s no doubt that I’ve seen my fair share of unique ideas when it comes to wedding planning. More recently, a good friend of mine began planning her wedding and since I am a BIT of a Pinterest addict, I see her wedding ideas regularly popping up in my feed. She’s a lot like me, a fashionable hippy chick at...
Niki & Kevin
Wedding season is finally calming down a little and summer is coming to an end. So how should we celebrate? A lovely warm session from one of the last summer days of 2012! Niki & Kevin’s engagement session started out cool, but summer definitely gave us one last hurrah as we walked the streets of downtown Grand Rapids. I knew from the minute I heard of their love of craft...
Facebook Timeline for a Photography Business
For me, Facebook is a way to stay connected to family, friends, and also important, my clients. To be honest, I love it, even with the constant changes and updates. Change is inevitable, just as it is in life, and not always a bad thing. And now, the newest update on Facebook is that pages will be changed over to the new timeline structure on March 30th. What does this...
Holiday Serenity
With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I have to admit, I got a little overwhelmed. Between several Christmas celebrations, working, and the inevitable holiday shopping, I had NO time left to even have extra happy thoughts of sugarplums dancing in my head. The day after Christmas, however, we took a trip up to Oscoda and stayed on Van Etten Lake. It’s such a beautiful, peaceful area that...
Wedding Album Lovin’
I have to admit, I get just as excited as my clients when I order their wedding album. I check the order daily, is it finished? Then the tracking number, it’s on the truck coming from Ohio, one more day! Then the knock on the door, a present from UPS! And yes, it’s like my own little present, if only for the brief amount of time I have it in...
