At home with Baby B …

Kayla and Alden’s wedding was one of the few in 2020 that went off without changes to the venue or the date. They were so calm and relax through it all and were a joy to work with. I was so happy when I ran into Kayla at Krissy’s wedding in September – she was pregnant and due soon, so we made plans (Covid allowing) to reconnect for some newborn photos once the baby was born in November. Their at home newborn session was much like their wedding – calm and loving – and using the all the blankets they were gifted in the photos was so special.

It was so great to meet Baby B on his one-week birthday – glad baby and parents are doing well! Parents seated holding a newborn babyParents seated holding a newborn babyMother stands in a window holding a newborn baby and kissing its cheekParents hold a newborn baby near a windowphoto of a newborn baby

 

A day at the beach with Mister M …

I first met Shelby and Sergiu back in 2017 when I had the pleasure of capturing their engagement and wedding. Their wedding is still one of the most fun I’ve been too – with a great first look and great reception (check out the blog post for some great wedding style inspo!). So I was thrilled when they reached out this summer and we went back to Cherry Beach, where we took their engagement photos, to photograph their new son. Covid protocols prevented a newborn session, but it didn’t stop us from capturing a precocious 4 month old getting his first taste of beach sand.  I love when I get to reconnect with wedding clients and meet their new kids. I love capturing the beautiful continuation of their love story …

Stephanie + Andrew’s Summer Engagement Session

I knew that Stephanie and Andrew’s engagement session would be special when I first met with them. They are warm and kind and a great connection with each other. Then, I found out the details — we would go to Ivy Ridgein a designer dress … with a wheat field. Any one of those things would be amazing – but all of it together with a great couple and magic ensued. At one point when they were laying in a wheat field I stopped, laughed, and felt so grateful to be there, in that moment, capturing Steph and Andrew’s electric connection. I cannot WAIT for their beautiful cottage wedding in August.

Krissy + Nathaniel’s Winter Engagement Session

I am always excited when couples want to brave the cold and head out for a winter engagement session. Yes, it can be cold. Yes, my camera (and fingers and nose) will sometimes frost up a bit. But the light and the snow – whether on bare trees or at the beach – is always so pretty. I met up with Krissy and Nate on their property just north of Lafontaine (in Tiny Township). Krissy and I had met when she was a bridesmaid at a wedding last fall and it was so good to meet again. Nate and I just sorted out how we’re related – which is fairly typical when it comes to us French kids from Tiny (for the curious, we landed on second (or third) cousins?). All to say, it was fun and they brought the heat (groan, I know, I had to). Can’t wait for their tree farm wedding this fall!
