Windy Sand Dunes Engagement Session

Windy Sand Dunes Engagement Session

Silver Lake sand dunes is one of my top places to shoot in Michigan. Jewel and Eric traveled all the way from Detroit last year to have me capture their engagement photos before their big wedding and I was so pumped to photograph them! We couldn't have asked for a better day! It was so windy but it definitely played in our favor and created the most amazing sand-filtered background. I literally felt like we were lost in a desert somewhere. I am so obsessed with these images, their wind blown hair and how her dress moved effortlessly in the wind. They both were so cuddly, playful and in love with each other that they were a breeze to photograph. Looking forward to my next sand dunes session! 

Romantic Gravel Pit Maternity Session in Holland, Michigan

Romantic Gravel Pit Maternity Session in Holland, Michigan

This year has been my busiest season with maternity sessions and I’m not complianing one bit - I’ll take all of the baby bumps! For Kellie and Trevor’s session we decided to go to a local gravel pit in Holland, Michigan and I’m still obsessing over the images! I love how the gravel mounds photographed and the the bright airy look they give to the images.

Intimate Wedding Portraits at West Michigan Gravel Pit

Intimate Wedding Portraits at West Michigan Gravel Pit

Last summer Selma & Safet wanted to take some adventurous wedding portaits right here in Michigan. We shot at this killer gravel pit, but it literally looks like we took a flight out West! These two had a blast shooting and were so into eachother! Selma’s dress was gorgeous and photographed so well on the rocks. What a drop dead goregous babe she is!

Downtown Grand Rapids Parking Garage Engagement Session

Downtown Grand Rapids Parking Garage Engagement Session

I often get asked by my wedding couples where are some of the best places to take their engagement photos or wedding portraits in Grand Rapids. Briana and Grayson chose to do their engagement photos at a parking garage in downtown GR and I love the spot they chose! I love this location because the neutral and simple background really allows the focus to be on the couple and their outfits.
