Sam + Mimi | Proposal at The Mill
These photos from last year transport us right back to those joyful moments. The sound of the river, the smell of fresh brewed coffee, and the glow of the sunlight pouring through the windows. Sam and Mimi instantly felt like friends and they were so easy to celebrate. It was such an honor to have witnessed and documented this milestone in their lives.
From the very moment that Sam called us to share his proposal vision, we were fully invested.
He shared all about their love for Northern Michigan and specifically his dream of proposing at The Mill in Glen Arbor. They would celebrate afterward with dinner at Farm Club. Sam made the plan to take Mimi up North for the weekend and the scene was set (thanks to the wonderful team at The Mill) with flowers and candles on the deck overlooking the river. Here, he surprised her with the sweetest proposal followed by the coziest engagement photos both inside and outside the cafe.

Fall Engagement | Jason + Sarah
There is nothing quite like how these two laugh together.
At one point, there were actual physical tears streaming down Sarah’s face from how hard Jason was making her laugh.
We spent the beautifully golden Fall evening with the happiest smiles on our faces as we watched these two interact.

Summer Portraits | Ben and Joanna
This day late last summer was one of those days when the sunshine was golden and hazy and the very first glimpses of Fall could be seen in certain tree leaves. As we always do when we are with Ben and Joanna, we spent the evening in laughter and conversation. We went home with full hearts and bellies (after an impromptu post-session Qdoba double date)
We’ve had the wonderful honor of photographing our dear friends on many different occasions. From their engagement photos, to their wedding, to couple portraits and beyond, it is always the best time with Ben and Joanna. This day late last summer was one of those days when the sunshine was golden and hazy and the very first glimpses of Fall could be seen in certain tree leaves. As we always do when we are with Ben and Joanna, we spent the evening in laughter and conversation. We went home with full hearts and bellies (after an impromptu post-session Qdoba double date), reflecting on our friendship with them and all the wonderful milestones we’ve had the privilege of celebrating with them so far and all that’s yet to come.

Luke + Katherine | Glen Haven Engagement
Luke and Katherine have a love that is so radiant it’s a wonder to behold.
Our first time meeting face to face as at their engagement session in Glen Haven. Here we got to witness first hand how these two loved each other—with depth, with honesty, and with romantic intensity.

We spent the evening laughing hard, climbing the dunes, and photographing the insane chemistry between the two of them.
As the sun set them aglow in a deep crimson, Luke and Katherine held each other close and drank it all in: the sunset, the peaceful quiet of the evening, and the countdown until their wedding day.
Sophia | Senior Portraits
Quiet, reserved, and thoughtful is how I would describe my sister, Sophia. She’s pretty laid back, can be found tucked in a corner with a book, listening to indie rock, or expressing herself creatively through one of her artistic endeavors. Her photos seem match this vibe: peaceful, quiet beauty amongst the flowers, the old dilapidated buildings, and the sunlight filtering through the amber autumn leaves.

Sean + Bridgette | Port Oneida Sunset Engagement
It is always a true joy to spend golden hour in the serene landscapes of Port Oneida, but it was made even sweeter this evening when we were joined by Sean and Bridgette. Sean and Bridgette’s engagement portraits felt straight out of a movie. They meandered through fields of the daintiest wildflowers, sunshine peeking in and out of the clouds while we photographed their sweet interactions—playful and giggling.

They meandered through fields of the daintiest wildflowers, sunshine peeking in and out of the clouds while we photographed their sweet interactions—playful and giggling. As the sun sank lower in the hazy sky, the landscape was bathed in golden mid-summer light. Sean and Bridgette walked slowly through the fields, hand in hand, admiring the views and dreaming of the rest of their lives together. It was such a beautiful glimpse into their love story as we witnessed the way these two looked at, talked to, and loved one another. We feel so honored to capture these precious moments.
