Greater Lansing Woman Magazine - Food Shoot.

Each month you can see my work in The Greater Lansing Woman Magazine.  My typical shoots include 'fashion', 'home interiors', and my favorite... 'food'!  This months food shoot was at Small Planet in East Lansing - we profiled the Caribbean Chicken.  The best part is that the chef's always let me eat what I shoot for free!  This dish was very good.

Danielle & Jeremy - Petosky, MI - 5/23/09

It's easy to understand why a couple from Toledo, Ohio would choose a location in northern Michigan to spend their wedding day - because it is gorgeous.  Jeremy and Danielle were married in the Bay View Inn in Petosky, Michigan, and we had a great time.  Not only did they choose an awesome location to get married, they also decided on a very playful theme for the details. Classic children's games, paper airplanes, and Jones' Soda Pop gave their day a unique and relaxed attitude that was very refreshing to photograph.

Jessica & Nick - St. John's, MI - 5/2/09

As a Photographer, it's rare that everything comes together to make what you could call "the perfect day". This wedding was as close as it has come to that in awhile. The flowers were blooming on an awesome spring day, the church had great natural light, and our photo location between wedding and reception was more than I could have ever asked for - an airport!! (the groom owned his own plane) Not to mention a really fun wedding party with tons of energy.

Tim & Amanda - Macomb Twp., MI - 4/4/09

What a crazy day! Had to hire a second photographer for Amanda's wedding due to MSU's Final Four run to Detroit. Shot the wedding in the morning, and exceeded the speed limit to Detroit to shoot the Final Four game against UConn at Ford Field (made it with little time to spare). My good friend Jeremy helped shoot the wedding and then took over for the reception - did an awesome job BTW!! Amanda was such a fun bride, and a total trooper considering lots of unfortunate circumstances leading up to her wedding. The church had a ton of stained glass windows which made for really unique light. A day I will not soon forget!

Wedding Season in Full Swing!

So I'm not a very good blogger... I admit that. I just don't really like to talk about myself much I guess - I'm pretty boring.

But now that MSU Sports are hitting a lull, I'd like to put the focus back on weddings. So far, I've shot 3 weddings this summer, and two more in the next two weeks - so things are picking up quickly! I'd like to share some of my favorite shots from each of those weddings.

Enjoy!

My Little Gracie Girl...

As I posted most recently, it's christmas card time, and everyone is getting photos of their little ones. Well its the same in our household - time for another photo of Gracie (as if she hasn't had enough already!). We wanted something that was casual and showed Grace being herself (happy, goofy, silly - just like her parents). Of course the moment we get the camera out and set up a light or two, she won't sit still, she won't make funny faces, and she won't look where we want her to - perfect. After a few frustrating moments, we decided to turn some music on - Wa La! It's all it took. She is a dancing and bouncing fool! The smiles and laughs poured out. A few frames later, we had a Christmas card. So, if your reading this before you get yours - sorry to spoil it for you.

Merry Christmas!
