Instagram is my favorite...follow along for updates, new pictures, behind the scenes at weddings and much more!

the sun shining today is like a warm embrace and close snuggle from your loved one ☀️

some of the most beautiful brides are not just those that look beautiful on the outside, but those that have a pure heart of gold. Marie was definitely in my top choices for most gorgeous brides of the year. She was as calm, sweet, filled with joy and bubbly. She didn’t let little things annoy her, she listened to my recommendations. She made me feel like a friend and still does. People say there’s an ideal client, and for me that’s people like Marie!
Love you! 💕

today is a great day! 🎊
got adequate sleep, got my coffee in hand, and I’m ready to rock out an entire wedding today! Yup you read that right, I will cull, edit and deliver an entire wedding today. I took a few days off to get my mental state back together, and I’m ready to tackle the remainder of the year! 〽️

do you ever just feel so overwhelmed that you basically don’t feel anything?
If I’m honest, that’s how I feel. The last month of life has been more chaotic than I’ve been able to admit. From things going wrong with our apartment bathroom, dealing with maintenance, managers, raising a new puppy, to trying to navigate my business and still be a wife and trying to find time to spend with my husband who has worked almost every weekend since my wedding season ended, and getting sick...it’s a lot and I don’t feel like I’ve been handling it well 😣
.
I feel uninspired to do anything, which is a super weird feeling...I guess I’m just trying to make it through this weird season. I don’t know what the Lord has in store but I sure do hope to see it soon. I’m holding onto the belief that He’s got my back even in this messy, lonely and awkward season of life. I don’t have anything inspiring to say, because I know I need to be real. Life ain’t always pretty and I’m learning that it’s okay to not be okay 🙍🏻‍♀️ #entrepreneurjourney #latenightthoughts

me laughing at all of my responsibilities for the week...
——————
in all seriousness this weekend was definitely one for the books. I’m back in the good old Mitten State now, with lots of work to catch up on after a week of being sick and weekend of traveling.
I’ve got four wedding galleries to get done before Christmas. So time to get working.

What’s one thing you’re working on this week?!

we started our beach session with complete overcast, we had finished our session and walked up to the board walk. Right as we did, BOOM 💥 the sky opened up and the most beautiful sunset happened. So of course we ran back down to the beach to get more shots with the beautifully painted sunset in the back.
**not pictured, the 200+ people standing right behind us and to the sides taking pictures of the same sunset 😉

today was a total dream, I mean just look at these two?! Never thought that two years ago when I contacted Des, to be my personal trainer that one day I’d be photographing her engagement photos on the white sandy beaches of Florida. So thankful that these two trusted me enough to fly me all the way out to do this, a dream indeed....
Swipe to see the before and after! 🌅

just wrapped up part 1 of 3 from @desb___ & @wyattpfeifer ‘s engagement session. Now off to get lunch and get pictures of these two in downtown Ft. Myers. It’s friggin 83° and I’m wearing sandals. We aint I’m Michigan no more 🍾🌴

waking up to almost four inches of snow has me missing the summer heat, anyone else?!
the good news is, this Friday I’ll be on a plane to Fort Myers, FL to photograph a good friend of mine and her fiancé, with temps in the upper 70s. I’ll take it.
So friend, what season is your favorite? Comment with an emoji below! ☀️

I hope your thanksgiving was filled with lots of yummy food, laughs and quality time with the people you love. As we continue to move forward with the holidays I encourage you to take time to spend quality time with your family and friends. Take a step back from social media, take a step back from sharing every waking moment of your gathering and just enjoy. Take pictures and lots of them, and then put the phone down and simply enjoy. Family matters ⭐️
