Time again to fill you in on what I’ve been checking out this week. As most of you know, those of us in the West Michigan area have just survived Snowpocalypse 2011. Ah, we West Mich natives can handle anything mother nature throws at us. So I had a little extra time this week to surf the net for new finds while buried under a couple feet of snow… First...
Selecting a Wedding Photographer
I have been responding to a few wedding inquiries this week and received an email from a bride who had several very good questions for me. So because I thought they were helpful in selecting a wedding photographer, I decided to share with you some of my responses below… Q: Do you brings spares in case of emergencies? (memory cards, batteries) A: I always carry my main camera body, a backup...
Puppy Paws
I’ve been a little busy this past week, besides work I’ve been hanging out with a very special dog named Lewis. Lewis is a yellow labrador, golden retriever mix and at about 8 month old, he has energy to spare. Seriously, I could bottle it and make MILLIONS. What makes Lewis even more special, is that he is training to be a service dog for Paws With a Cause. Paws...

I do NOT have a fear of flying, I am just a nervous flyer…
“Flight attendants, please prepare the cabin for takeoff”. Hearing those words makes my palms a little sweaty. Every time. I’m not really afraid of flying, but I admit, I get a little nervous. As the plane starts to taxi down the runway a booming voice is in the air. God? No, just the pilot. “We will not be de-icing the plane this evening, so we will have a short taxi...
Fabulous Friends
I have fabulous friends. Really. And for those who have shot with me before, when I say fabulous, you KNOW I mean to say FAAAABULOOOOUUUSS!!! 😉 I was finally able to get out and shoot with a lovely friend of mine tonight and we decided to make a trek down to Holland. Well, shooting turned into shopping, which turned into dinner, which became a great discussion about different styles of...
Christmas Spirit
So I’ve been a little behind on Christmas spirit this year. Seems like every year, this city’s decorations go up earlier and earlier and it’s difficult to get into the holiday that has become so commercialized. But the truth is, Christmas is more than just decorations and black Friday deals. It’s family and friends. Love and kindness. Faith and awe. It’s laying under the tree and gazing at the lights. ...
Liz & DJ {Married!!}
Complete. That’s the first word that comes to mind when I think of DJ and Liz. Complete: Achieved. Encompassed. Unbroken. Undiminished. Undivided. The whole enchilada. Hook, line and sinker… They look at each other and you just know. It’s a complete love. — I had the pleasure of sharing a beautiful day with Dj and Liz, as they spent their wedding day enjoying the company of friends and family. ...
Marta & Eric {Married!}
This summer I had the pleasure of shooting alongside photographer Adam Glanville at Marta and Eric’s wedding. The day couldn’t have been more beautiful. With the sun shining and the surroundings lush and green, Marta and Eric, in front of their closest family and friends, promised to love each other for now and forever....
