Tuni & Lauren: Engaged! (Kalamazoo Wedding Photography)

February 20, 2022

Outdoor winter sessions have a tendency to be tricky since the weather here in Michigan can be pretty unpredictable and definitely unreliable this time of year. But we got a surprisingly great day for Tuni and Lauren's session at the Al Sabo Land Reserve down toward Kalamazoo. The weather was sunny and pretty warm for mid/late February, and despite my also-unreliable GPS, it was great to finally meet Tuni and Lauren!

It was great learning more about these two as a couple and hearing more about their wedding. Tuni's family is coming over from Turkey this summer for the big day, they have 8 bridesmaid and 8 groomsmen AND they found the perfect vegan cater for their wedding dinner. Even though it was a challenge trekking over the occasional icy and muddy spots, we got some great shots and I'm even more excited to be their wedding photographer in a few months!

Congrats to you both! 

Cute and cozy in the trees!

Love these cuddly shots.

Hang on tight!

Such a helpful guy ;)

Awww you guys are too cute.

Jade: Glass House Mini Session (Grand Rapids GLAM Photographer)

Our last of the Glass House sessions was another fabulous and familiar face, Jade! She came with her wine-colored, flowing dress (with those leg slits!), and it was absolutely perfect to finish out the sessions. Shooting in the winter is so much better when you have a (mostly!) warm and covered space to shoot in. How to I get myself one of these glass houses???

YAS, Queen!

LOVE this shot!

Dress twirling is required!

We've got to get a few outside too!

Well done, my dear!

Adorable baby bump!

That mama-to-be glow!

Mandy knows that braving the cold is worth the shot ;)

Ashley & Alannah: Glass House Mini Sessions (Grand Rapids GLAM Photographer)

February 13, 2022

I don't remember the last time I saw these two ladies, but it really was great to get to! Ashley and Alannah went to high school with me and they are still friends, even this many years later. I loved their dresses, such pretty jewel tones. It really worked with the muted winter colors. Thank you both SO much for coming down for the mini sessions. It really was wonderful seeing you. You guys were amazing!

You two are TOO CUTE!

Looking fabulous, ladies!

Sassy!
