Liz & Rob E-Session | Michigan Engagement Photographer

What a great new beginning to mark the season of Spring! My future June Bride Liz and Groom Rob met me in D-town to do some fun landmark hopping. We've had some adventures getting to this day as we've had to reschedule due to unpredictable MI weather, but Friday was just beautiful!!!!! A day to be out and about!d We started off at the DIA where we got what I think is one of my favorite shots of all time. The "door shot" as it will now be entitled! We then crossed the street to the best kept secret most suburbanites don't know about, the Detroit Library! Aesthetically beautiful and inviting, everyone should go check it out, I promise you will not be disappointed! Liz a Wayne State Alum has all these great tidbits about cool places to visit in Detroit. I think I'm gonna ask her for a list of places she recommends in Detroit that are on her to do list when in town.

Belle Isle was next on the list, pulling some illegal maneuvers on the way got us to our destination. :) Liz loved the botanical gardens and started considering changing her venue to the front gardens! It was surprising how much the outside of the botanical gardens looked similar to an english country side! I've been there so many times but never really got that perspective from such an angle til this shoot.

We headed back to Downtown Detroit again with my crazy driving, I think Rob would never volunteer me as head driver ever. I know I wouldn't! **Tip- The Greek Town Casino no longer validates parking! Sad even the casinos are going cheap. Eh, what can you do? The people mover is fun, creative, full of choice stops and at $0.50 a ride unbelievably cool!

Here are some awesome shots Liz and Rob put out! Some people take longer than others to get comfortable in front of the camera but these two were pretty good and up for anything right from the start, and they only got better as the day went on!
Enjoy!

I love the shot through the book aisle. What lens did you use for those interior shots? Was that all natural light too? Lovely set. I love the Detroit Public Library!

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.
