Steve & Jolene {Wedding}

Last weekend I went up to Larsmont Cottages along the shore of Lake Superior, to photograph Steve & Jolene's wedding. It was a beautiful, small ceremony with their closest family & friends. I was glad to be there to capture their special day. Thank you for choosing me to be there! Enjoy a tiny glimpse of the day.

Mandi {Class of 2011} :: Senior Photography

I’ve had a great summer photography season this year. I only had one rain out/reschedule…and Mandi’s was the one. We rescheduled it after my vacation & we had a beautiful evening. It wasn’t hot & humid…it was perfect. So, it all worked out. We had a lot of fun & traveled to several locations. I hope you like your preview! You’re a beautiful girl with such a fun personality. I wish you all the best!

We did a few in the beginning with her siblings...just a few because they were so funny. :-)

I have many favorites...but I love this one. :-)

Brecken {Senior Portrait Session}

I had a lot of fun meeting with Brecken for her senior session. We had a great building to use for her images as well as the outdoors...until it started raining. But, we got everything we needed to & as you can see, Brecken is a beautiful girl. Enjoy your preview! :-)

We started out getting Brecken acquainted with the camera....it was pretty funny!

And again...it's hard to be serious...I loved how Brecken laughed all the time!

This building was so amazing. The light was fantastic! But, don't let it's beauty fool you...it was SO hot up on the 4th floor!

B. Session {One Year}

What a beautiful morning we had for B's session! And he's so darn adorable. I love beautiful eyes & B. sure had them! :-) It's been a few weeks since I have chased a little one during a session. I forget that I have to pull out my fast photographer moves to keep up! He was so busy & had so much fun exploring. I love photographing this age because you never know what you are going to get which makes it SO fun!
I hope you enjoy your preview of B's images. Thank you so much!

See what I mean? Beautiful eyes! Handsome little guy!

I love this...learning how to stand & stay standing is hard work! :-)

Trying to get some shots on the bridge...and he's off....

Love.

This age is so darn cute...learning to walk & all!

Who lets their child/little clients hang out on curbs? Um, we do. :-)

P.S. This was a parked car...no children/clients were injured or in danger. For the record. :-)

Just cruisin' down Lake Avenue...see ya! :-)

About Me...

I have always loved photography & photos in general. As a young girl, my room was filled with photos & albums of my friends & family. I am still this way as I love to have constant reminders through photos of all of the special people in my life & many of the wonderful experiences that I have had as well. My wedding day, the birth of my children, my children's first baths, my children's first steps, their first little tooth, birthday parties, family events...all of those beautiful, precious memories & events that we can never experience again once they have happened. I am so grateful that by doing something I really love, I can provide many families with photos that they can look at over & over & share with their families & friends. I love that I can provide them with beautiful memories that they will hang on the walls of their homes & precious memories that will be tucked inside photo albums on their coffee tables & in their wallets for years to come.

About My Photo Sessions...

Telling a story and portraying who a person truly & uniquely is; is the style of photography that I capture in each of my photo sessions. Capturing the essence of a person or a moment is an amazing piece of another's journey through life that being a photographer allows me to do. Whether I am photographing a child, a family or a special event; being there to capture what may have otherwise been forgotten or unseen is such an amazing and beautiful part of why I do what I do. I love to be there to capture true joy, beautiful smiles, pure excitement and those infamous tears that come upon all of us at one time or another. Every human being has been made for a purpose. Each for something great. It is an honor to be a part of portraying the greatness, uniqueness & special qualities in every person I photograph.
