J & A | Family Session

Last sunday I met J & A at Heritage park and had a ball just following them around and having a park adventure. J is such an adorable and active kid, he discovers something in everything. His mom calls him a rascal, because he's always getting into something. :) Thanks for the laughs you two.





Miss Sarah | Senior Session

Sarah is a good friend who is such a beautiful person inside and out. She's always in a good mood and ready to share it with you! Her smile brings out the sun, I swear, the sincerity in it always makes my heart melt. When I'm near her I feel God's love pouring out of her to everyone around her. She is such a great and amazing Godly person, and I feel so lucky to have her in my life and to have gotten the pleasure of doing her Senior Pictures, to show the world her beauty. Her love for what I do always gives me the biggest ego boost! Thank you so much Sarah, for just being you.






Daniel | Senior Session

I love when guys just go with the flow no matter how crazy your ideas are. That's how Daniel was the whole time. I think I made him drive around with mefor 3 hours on Sunday, looking for the perfect places to shoot. We tried to first shoot at the TrainDepot where I had shot with Marta but that didn't happen due to the train actually being in use and not on the track. So after our initial sadness we perked up when we realized how many other cool places there still were to shoot. We found a really great Blue wall! And then the Cross hunt went on. He wanted a really cool picture with a cross behind him, and I thought that would be awesome. We started to hunt down all the churches in the area but you would not believe how almost none of them have a cross on their front door or anywhere a person may reach. The only one I knew of was too far away for us to drive. Almost giving up on the idea, I remembered that there is a Church I see from the freeway everytime I drive on 275 and they have a HUGE cross that at night is illuminated and beautiful. Thus we finally finished our trip at the feet of the cross. :)




Cipri (The name under which I know him) it was a pleasure and I still can't believe you're a senior and all grown up!

Shear Perfection I Hair Modeling Potraiture

A sneak peek of the Hair shoot that went on Sunday at my house! :)

Sunday afternoon joy...

This was an impromptu shoot just because we were bored on a Sunday afternoon! Meet one of my Best Friends and loyal model: Marta! I've been wanting to take pictures at a lake near us for months and we got out of church last Sunday and decided to take a drive, reaching the lake we concurred that we had to come back and take pictures. So after an amazing lunch with friends and a closet look over we stepped out to our adventure. Though I think Marta got a bit of poison ivy from one of our ideas, she turned out great and we had a blast of a time!

Welcome

I love to capture the beauty of life, the simplicity of joy, and the art of truth. I am an on location natural light photographer based out of southeastern Michigan and this is my story:
I started into the world of photography at a very young age with the help of my very photo addicted mother. There was never an event in our lives that she did not want to capture and remember. She was very much into the sit there and look here photography. I wasn't. Instead, I would always volunteer to take the picture. :) I developed my style by trying a very different approach to how to capture the moment. I wanted to show the truth of the moment. I began to find the smiles that were secretive and genuine, only shown to friends and family. I paid attention to people being themselves, in their environment. And thusly, I fell in love with an art form that let me tell stories of the people I knew and loved.
