Joe & Vicky {Engaged!}

We met Joe and Vicky through one of our all-time favorite family friends - Julie Lupo.  Julie has been an honorary member of our family for the past 9 years and since Julie and Vicky are cousins, it's almost as if Vicky is family too!

We had the opportunity to hang out with Joe and Vicky last weekend when we took their engagement portraits in and around downtown Farmington, MI.  We met up with them at Heritage Park and then headed into town for dinner and more portraits.  We really enjoyed spending time over dinner just chatting with Joe and Vicky and really having the opportunity to get to know them both on a deeper level.  We have no doubt that their wedding is going to be fantastic because they are both laid back, relaxed and a lot of fun!

Enjoy these teasers from their day.  There were so many more images taken, but these are a few of our favorites.  :)

Sean & Jessica {Engaged!}

We may have picked the coldest day yet this winter for Sean and Jessica's Engagement Session, but it didn't matter because the evening was HOT, and Sean and Jess kept us laughing the whole time! What a great evening to connect and to capture some romance between the two of them.

We started out in the woods and fields to capture a bit of the beauty of the freshly fallen snow.  Both Sean and Jess love the outdoors, so it was a very fitting place to start - a perfect place for the flannels and Carharts.  Then, it was off to downtown Howell to spend time getting to know each other in and around the city.  First stop was in the Uptown Coffeehouse to warm ourselves up for the inside out with a cup of cocoa and coffee.  Then, we headed around the corner to the Howell Western Wear store - what a GREAT shop and friendly people!  They were enthusiastic about letting us use their store for engagement portraits, and we were able to use their hats, boots, changing room and decorations to get some really fun images of Sean and Jess.  Kevin and I will definitely be stopping by there again to do some shopping soon - I absolutely fell in love with the place!

After we finished up in town, we headed over to the historic Howell Train Depot to finish out the evening.  The wind was whipping up as the sun started to set so we had to wrap our session up quickly, but we still had a great time with Sean and Jessica.  They were so hardy and willing to try just about anything.  We seriously cannot wait for their wedding in September!~ Kevin & Heather

Noah + Audri {Engaged}

Yesterday we had so much fun playing out in the snow with Audri and Noah for their engagement portraits.  They were amazingly hardy in the biting cold, but the experience was so worth the frostbite!  <brrrrrrr>

Audri has been an important part of our lives for the past few years and we are so happy to welcome Noah to the relationship.  Noah will definitely keep you howling with laughter - he has a fun and zany sense of humor, to be sure!  The only downside to the craziness - we actually had to work on NOT smiling too much - how often does that happen?!?  lol

The best part of the evening was the spontaneous snowball fight just before we all were completely frozen from head-to-toe (Audri and Noah even more so then us) and had to head inside. 

Enjoy this small sample of images from their session and leave Noah and Audri some love.  :)

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.
