Reba & Bryan ~ HAUT session @ the Lake!

Reba and Bryan have been married for almost a year. They wanted to do some fun pics since they never had engagement images done. Reba came prepared with several outfits. My kind of girl! We had fun at the beach in Frankfort, MI. I have good memories of that place as it was one of the frequent stops on our family sailing trips along Lake Michigan. Afterwards, Bryan and Reba treated me to their favorite - Toasted Coconut ice cream at Kilwin's... YUM! Check out this HAUT couple!!































I can't decide if I like this one better as black & white or sepia... what do you think? Leave a comment!

Tricia & Jim ~ Traverse City, MI 8.25.07

I knew Jim when he was a boy, so when he called to ask if I'd photograph his wedding I was honored! What a beautiful bride he chose in Tricia. Not only on the outside, but also on the inside. Jim and Tricia have such an obvious deep love for one another. It truly was my pleasure to capture their day. Congratulations you two! And thank you for including me in your wedding. God Bless!!

Katy & Bob ~ e-session in Belmont, MI

Katy and I went to high school together back in the day and were reconnected about a year ago. When her and her fiance Bob decided they wanted me as their photographer, I was honored! They are getting married next July in Spring Lake, MI at the Spring Lake Country Club. They are such a relaxed couple and truly adore each other. I had a great time hanging out with them at their house. Not to mention Katy is one of the few girls from high school that didn't have a mean bone in her body! (you know how teenage girls can be) She was super nice and still is so sweet and kind and has found the perfect match in Bob. He is also wonderful. I am so excited to be a part of your wedding!! Congratulations Katy & Bob!

Back in Texas

So I've been back for the last week and apparently been neglecting my blog... I'm still playing catch-up with all the stuff that happened up in Michigan. It's all coming very soon though... an e-session, a senior session, a wedding, and a very fun session with my cousin Bryan and his wife Reba!

I had such a great time seeing my family and friends. It's always such a bittersweet moment when I leave Michigan. I love spending time with all my family and friends and I never get enough time with everyone. Yet at the same time, I miss my hubbie and puppies and I'm exhausted because of all the running around I do while I'm there.

Here are two of my favorite Michigander's... my bugaboo is on the left and lil chick-a-boom is on the right. They are my cousin Lisa's children. Lisa and her brother Eric were the closest thing to brother and sister I had growing up as an only child. They definitely took advantage of picking on my like I was their younger sis!
