{Puppy Love | Clara + Her Humans}

{kewadin, michigan | october 2020}

I had gotten an email from Krystle back in August asking me to take photos of her and her husband’s puppy Clara for her first birthday. Their first anniversary was around the same time so of course they wanted a couple of them as well. I of course said YES because who doesn’t love cute little frenchies!

We finally got a date set and met at Maplehurst Nature Area. Little did I know that I was going to meet the most rambunctious and sassy little pup! Like I wish I could just put all of the photos on here so you could see some of the faces she was making!

{Baby Bump | Amy + Aalok}

{traverse city, michigan | october 2020}

I had gotten an email from Amy saying that her and her husband Aalok were taking a mini trip up to Traverse City from Chicago before they had their baby. And since they hadn’t really told a lot of people that they were pregnant, they wanted to use this opportunity to take some announcement photos. So we got up super early on Sunday morning and drove up to the Mission Point Lighthouse. It was so peaceful since we were the only ones around. They were both shocked to find out that I was 34 weeks along in my pregnancy. I did have a bigger sweatshirt and a jacket on so it was a bit harder to tell. They asked what I was having and I asked them but they are doing a surprise gender birth. I don’t know how people can wait the whole 9 months to see what gender their baby is. I had a hard time waiting the 14 weeks to find out we were having a baby boy! Props to them and I wish them the best of luck becoming new parents!

{Traverse City Engagement // Mattie + Tristan}

{traverse city, michigan // october 2019}

I had a lot of fun with Mattie + Tristan while shooting their engagement session at the Historic Barns Park in Traverse City, Michigan. They brought along their cute puppy too. The day started off kind of cloudy so we were really unsure of how our evening session was going to go. But we ended up getting lucky and getting a gorgeous sunset out of it.

Thank you Mattie + Tristan for the fun and can’t wait for your June 2021 wedding!

{Brown Bridge Quiet Area Engagement // Jesy + Jonas}

{traverse city, michigan // october 2019}

Jesy + Jonas were the winners of my giveaway! They wanted to do their session at the Brown Bridge Quiet area and I’m super glad they did. It was so beautiful! We had a little bit of every type of weather it seemed. Started out with some clouds, then a bit of sun, rained for a couple minutes, and out came a rainbow. I don’t think I could’ve asked for a cuter couple and pupper.

{Silver Lake Sand Dunes Engagement // Danielle + Luke}

{mears, mi // october 2019}

Danielle + Luke are some of the best people! We met at Golden Sands Golf + Bucket Bar where they are getting married next August to start their engagement photos. We got a personal chauffeur, the owner and couple’s friend’s son, to take us around on their side by side. We only had a little bit of time to get over to the dunes from there. Danielle + Luke spend a lot of time at the dunes. You can probably tell from the photo of Luke kissing his truck. They have a YouTube channel as well where you can check out his sweet truck in action! Right after the last photos were taken, I was taken for a ride and I was definitely not disappointed!

Their wedding in August can’t come soon enough!
