NEW BLOG...come on over!

Please reset your bookmarks ...I have moved my blog! You can still link to it from my website if you forget, but you will need to sign up again (subscribe) to get the new posts emailed to you on the new blog. Don't worry, you can still see all of the old posts on the new blog as well...they just transferred over. It has taken some time to get this whole thing set up and the banner on the top is still not how I want it...but until then, move on over. Thanks!

Here is the link to the new one! **CLICK HERE**

Brett + Dana = Married!!

What a beautiful wedding....the weather held off for all of their pictures and their outdoor ceremony! Major props to my second shooter ~ Betsy...she found this fabulous tile in the womens bathroom...good thing no one walked in on us while we had the lights off and a spotlight on expensive wedding rings on the floor...but I think the results were worth it! Nice find! I am in love with the pictures of dana in the stairwell of the country club....they need to be in Vogue!

Zee & Aisha's engagment ceremony....

My apologies right now, for all the photos....you know me, I love the new and different things and their wedding will be for me in August. Here are a few....of my favs from their engagment ceremony. His family and friends come and present her with jewelry, and her ring, and she presents his ring. As you can see below...he jokingly presented a gigantic fake diamond at first...which created quite a few laughs. I love the 3rd photo...the Joy in Aisha's face and the anxiety and nervousness in her fathers...I think that says alot. Aisha ~ you are strikingly beautiful in these photos...enjoy your preview, and I will be adding a slideshow link later tonight, when I can attach the right music to it. Enjoy!

Workshop photos...and the Kroll Boys

Here are the adorable Kroll boys who modeled for our workshop...and true to their age, did a great job...cooperating and being boys all at the same time ~ perfect example for everyone. The workshop went great after the power decided to come back on around 7pm on the first night...I was a little worried. Thanks for everyone's flexibility. I enjoyed meeting all of you....and Im pretty sure all you Cannon users might be switching to Nikon after all of my "well my camera has it here" comments! Thanks so much to all you for coming and I look forward to seeing your progeress...if any of you took pictures of everyone shooting, or your favorite photo taken ( Iknow some of you got the boys together, while I was talking) and forward it to me.

Heath + Nicole ....engaged

I really had fun shooting with you guys, you ( and Nicole's sister) picked great location! We shot at the John King Book store in Detroit...the largest bookstore in michigan, and then around the Eastern Market....there is even one of all of us in a garden ball for fun! Here is the slideshow link if you'd like to see!

I have many more posts this week...I will be doing one or two a day, to catch up..that was a crazy weekend and the week following as well...in addition to workshop photos this weekend ~ featuring the Kroll boys....check back often!

a little behind on blogging....

I still have a few sessions to blog....here is adorable Seeley, she is 6 months and this is the BEST age to photograph a baby, they sit anywhere you want them and smile at all the time! Here are a few from her session.

because I know you're checking...

Lauren (bride below) has confessed to checking my blog constantly...and I know their honeymoon flight leaves at 8pm tonight...so I tried to get a few to you, but I really had a hard time picking out of more than 1000 images. So here are a few ~ not so many ~ sneak peaks! I just love thier connection...they really are in love with each other. I loved their engagement session too. Enjoy your vacation!

Photogs ~ this is the official first wedding of the season!! Yea!! Tech specs...that detail on the shoe - was shot with the D3 at ISO 1250 with a macro lens...beautiful (I love Nikon!) Their wedding was at Fredrick Meijer Gardens and Shelly's Design's did all the floral and decorating details.
