Gabby and Jake {Homecoming Portraits}

Gabrielle Gow has practically become a member of our family over the past few weeks.  We recently started boarding her horse, Romeo, on our property and because of him, she is over pretty much every day.  We all love her (even Kevin, although his display of affection is the brotherly sort - complete with sarcasm and practical jokes) and we think her boyfriend, Jake Champagne, is obviously a pretty great guy too.  :)

Well, when you know two professional photographers as well as Gabby does, it's hard to settle for the average, awkwardly posed homecoming pictures that are the norm.  So, what's a girl to do?  Break the mold and buck the tradition!  Gabby hired us to capture images that were much more her ... much more her and Jake ... and much more her, Jake and Romeo.  Check out what we were able to capture in just one brief photoshoot together in our backyard!

Justin & Emily {Engagement}

I can honestly say that I don't think we have ever worked with a happier, more fun-loving couple than Justin and Emily!  The two of them had us cracking up all evening long and we just loved the fact that it felt like we were hanging out with old friends while capturing some true-life images and just having a blast together.  The spontaneous portraits that we caught of them laughing and hamming it up in front of the camera feel just as important in depicting who they are and their relationship, as do the sexier, romantic ones.

We really appreciated Justin and Emily's excitement over their engagement session and the fact that they didn't mind traipsing all over Ann Arbor to get just the right shots.  We discovered a few new nooks and crannies around town too that we absolutely LOVE.  We're so glad we had Emily there to help us figure out where we wanted to be!

Here is just a little sneak peak of their engaement session with us.  Check out the images and let Justin and Emily know what you think.~ Kevin & Heather

Jeremy + Nicole {Engagement}

They say the third time's the charm, and it certainly was true with our third attempt at scheduling Jeremy and Nicole's engagement session!  The air was crisp with the first real hint of fall, but the skies were amazing with cloud texture and moody color.  Our previous attempts at scheduling their session resulted in high heat, terrible humidity and thunderstorms.  What a contrast just a few weeks can bring!

We met Jeremy and Nicole in Farmington and it was fun getting to know them a bit better over the course of the evening.  Nicole is one of my dearest friends' neices and so she's practically like distant, long-lost family.  :)  It was about time we got caught up.

Nicole and Jeremy are getting married in Hawaii and we are so excited for them and their destination to a tropical paradise. There is no doubt that their wedding is going to be amazing - they are such a beautiful and wonderful couple!  Enjoy these teasers and let them know what you think of them.
