Sneak Peek: Rick & Terri

June 14, 2025

The first wedding of 2025 is officially in the books! It was such a fun way to kick off the season—with plenty of familiar faces and even a few furry ones. Terri is someone I’ve known since grade school (she’s one of my classmate’s moms!), and I’ve had the joy of photographing her family over the years. After a difficult few months and a long road to recovery for Rick following a serious accident, these two finally got to celebrate surrounded by love… and with their loyal pup, Cowboy, by their side (who definitely got all the pets from me). I can't wait to share more, but for now, enjoy this first little peek at the year ahead!

Anthony & Hayli: Engaged! (Michigan Wedding Photographer)

May 9, 2025




Over the last few months, I reworked some of my pricing and introduced a new option: the adventure engagement session. Anthony and Hayli were the very first to give it a try, and I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to kick things off with! We met across the state at the Henry Ford and Greenfield Village to explore places close to their hearts—and to do a little playing while we were at it.

These two fully embraced the experience. Dressed in vintage 50s style, they stepped right into the theme, and we started at Lamy’s Diner inside the Henry Ford Museum. With a strawberry milkshake, cookies, and a couple of classic Faygo bottles in hand, we had so much fun capturing that retro vibe. From there, we wandered through the vintage cars and trains—a dream setting for Anthony, who’s a passionate fan! I also had a chance to play with some of the beautiful window light inside the museum, and I’m thrilled with the images we created together.

To wrap up the session, we headed into Greenfield Village where Hayli and Anthony strolled hand-in-hand, soaking in the sunshine and enjoying one last stop in our little time-travel adventure. It was such a joy to spend the afternoon getting to know them better and to share in such a fun, personal experience. Sessions like these make my heart so happy, and now I’m even more excited for their wedding this October!
