November 29, 2012pressure
August 9, 2012Not gonna lie, it’s always a bit of pressure when photographing other photographers. It’s even more pressure when you know they drove five hours to have you photograph them. But, then you get over it and realize how excited and grateful you are to photograph such beautiful and ahhhhhhsome people. Nicole is a photographer up yonder in Northern Michigan and can see her eye candy here. Nicole, you and your family rock. So happy to have crossed paths with you :)

my view of a shoot
June 20, 2011Interested in a nutshell version of how I approach a shoot? If so, continue on. If not, continue on anyway just for the sake of making your trip to my blog worth the time.
I love my wide angles. The shoot usually starts with a pulled out shot…
..immediately followed by a closeup.
I’m always on the lookout for interesting colors and textures.
Again, another wide angle…
…followed by a tighter shot.
After a few family shots, I focus on JUST the kids…
More wide angles with interesting colors and textures…
After I’m feeling good about the family and individual shots, I focus on the details…
And I always try to make sure I get a good combination of happy…
Soft and quiet…
and silly!!!
cleaning up
April 10, 2011Somewhere between my brother’s wedding in California and a busy work season here in Michigan last summer, I photographed Shannon Dodge and her family. Somewhere between the end of that busy season and me cleaning up my hard drives last week, I realized Shannon Dodge and her family had escaped my blog. So, I pulled them from an archival death and am bringing back the warmth and Dodge family beauty from last summer. I loved photographing this family. They are just…so…magazine-y.
These images make me super happy…not only because they scream warmth and happiness, but because I was finally able to connect with an internet friend who I was so excited to meet in person.
So here’s to beautiful families and those gorgeous Michigan summer days that we are all waiting very patiently for…
