The past two weeks have been a flurry of hope, inspiration, nervousness and excitement.

After 16 years in the photography business I have decided to open a studio. Now that the drywall and mess is cleaned up I thought I would officially (well unless your on our facebook page) announce it here on the blog.

I still have another week or so to go before I feel comfy to open to the city patrons. The signs are on the windows, the lights are up, the walls are dry and painted.

I will have a photo documentary of the whole thing next week once the photos are in place on the wall.

Thanks for all the continued support!

More to come…….

Meg , Andrew and I have a relationship that goes back a few years. They hired me for engagement pictures in Chicago and also their fabulous wedding at Cascade Country Club. Now they come up from Chicago for me to photograph their baby Leighton. What a doll! Thanks Meg and Andrew for making the trip. We spent the mid day taking baby portraits and family pictures in Grand Rapids. They let me have freedom and these are just a few we came up with. Enjoy.

Its January in Michigan and that typically involves snowy slushy roads, blizzards and terms on the evening news forecast like wind chill and snow advisories. But on their wedding date Jacklyn and Adam brought us good luck with the driving temperatures and even the possibility of taking a wedding party outdoors here in Grand Rapids.

As usual the Public Museum of Grand Rapids was a magnificent setting  for the out of town guests, the local friends and family and the bridal party.  Her Disney themed wedding was a smash. Their party rocked and of course the wedding pictures on the carousel were absolutely a blast!

Abby and I had a great day photographing and documenting for you both! We hope you enjoy

Sara & Craig were married at Bridge Street Wedding Chapel in Grand Ledge, a fantastic place to get married in. All the details are terrific. The owners are photographers and put the thought into what furniture and details may be in the background of the photographs. After the wedding we made a pit stop to see Sparty on the campus of Michigan State University. What Spartan would not want to see Sparty on wedding day? The reception was at Eagle Eye in Bath Michigan. Thanks Sara & Craig, Abby and I had such a blast with you all!
