This is another extremely special one for me, y'all. Two of our very best friends in the whole wide world welcomed their perfect baby girl Earth side last Sunday. It's been a long time of hoping and praying and tears and strength for them to get here. I am so thrilled to be sharing their newborn session... plus, she's the damn cutest.

Jess + Duncan - I can't tell you how happy I am to see you guys as mom and dad to healthy, beautiful, and absolutely perfect little Hailey Jo. I feel so lucky to call your guys friends and chosen family of ours.

Hailey Jo- You have made your mom and dad's entire world and Aunt Rach is madly in love with you already. We're so glad you're here, girlfriend. ❤️

“Can we get a little commotion for the dress!”
As I am getting ready to post Audrey & Rob’s full sneak peek, I had to give a little exclusive moment to this gorgeous bride and her insanely stunning gown. Thanks to The Wedding Shoppe for always taking the best care of so many of my wonderful brides.

Reopening Legacy sessions! After a couple years of dialing back a few departments of my business in order to keep from being spread too thin, life has thankfully settled a bit and I’m excited to announce that I am again taking on family and newborn sessions! I have had many inquiries about when I will offer my signature custom in-home shoots again and I can’t wait to have new and past clients in front of my camera again! Head over to my website for more information and to contact me directly for booking!

Back in September Justin + Karen flew me to D.C. to photograph their engagement session and I was THRILLED! They’re getting married next month here in Detroit where Karen is from and I canNOT wait to capture their wedding at St. Andrew’s 😍. Getting the opportunity to spend a few days with them in D.C. with their pup, Charlie, and get to know them was such a awesome experience and I’m so grateful for the connection we made. Here’s some of my favorites from their shoot, enjoy!!
