When I was editing Elise and Ryan’s Detroit spring engagement shoot my preschool niece, Jaclyn, walked up to my computer. She looked at the screen and said, “Wowww Sammie, that girl is so pretty. I mean she’s really pretty, and I like her fancy dress. Oh… and boys are weird.” I couldn’t agree more Jaclyn […]

Holy smokes did we strike gold this spring with Tacora and Keith’s Detroit spring engagement session. I had been dying to shoot a couple with some magnolia trees in bloom, and was shocked to find the most beautiful magnolias in Detroit. We spent the evening admiring the beauty of the Detroit Institute of Arts and […]

Shooting in Holland during spring – aka the tulip festival – has been one of my dreams! When Taylor told me that her and Adam went to Hope College, and that they would love to do a Holland Michigan engagement session I about died!! Luckily we were able to do their shoot Monday morning and […]

My most embarrassing moment as a photographer happened just before Courtney and Dan’s Stoney Creek engagement session. Prior to their shoot Courtney had texted me telling me they were running a little bit late. I told her it wasn’t a problem, and that I would be in the black SUV in the back of the […]

After chatting over drinks in downtown Royal Oak and learning that Lauren works in fashion, you better bet I was soooo pumped to see what she had planned for hers and Todd’s engagement photos.

If you’ve been following along for a while on here, you already know I’m a huge fan of bringing fur babies to engagement sessions and Wallace totally stole the show!! At the end of Taylor and Blake’s Clarkston engagement session, I pulled out my phone to snap a quick photo to post on my Instagram […]

Give me all of the velvet dresses! Emily rocked this maroon dress for her engagement photos, and paired with Ryan’s navy suit they absolutely slayeddd. We ran around outside of the Grosse Pointe War Memorial for their winter engagement shoot, and Emily told me about her early days crushing on Ryan when they were in […]

Kirsten and Josh are hands down one of the sweetest couples I have ever met! I’ve known Kirsten for a little while before her and Josh were engaged, so as soon as she reached out about their 2019 Pine Knob Carriage House wedding I was basically jumping for joy!! They are absolutely those kind of […]

I want to start off by saying that on the day of Katie and Brian’s downtown Detroit engagement session, it was BY FAR the coldest day of the year! We hopped around city streets, caught some action in traffic, embraced the magical steam of a manhole and ended the evening with the most perfect golden […]

Erin and Matt have such a natural, easy love for each other and these city views just topped off all the pretty. You can tell they adore each other by the sweet little grins they exchange and the way they wrap up together. Seriously guys, just try to scroll through these photos of them without […]
