Dana & Andrei Engagement

I've known Dana forever. We grew up together, played in band together, and been friends for a long time. I was so honored when she asked me to capture her and Andrei's engagement moments. We did both an Engagement Session out in Detroit, going to the DIA and the botanical gardens, and also the engagement party! It was such a pleasure to meet Andrei and get to know him better. I love that photography gets me the opportunity to really meet new people and I try to really pay attention to who they are, the more I know them the better the pictures seem to come out. I get to appreciate people so much more by learning who they are, and these two are wonderful! Many blessings upon your upcoming wedding! Get some sleep in the upcoming months Dana! Lots of Love: Enjoy a sampling of your coolness!

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.
