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.  :)

Lauren Craddock {2012 Senior Mini-Session}

Mid-afternoon portrait sessions aren't usually our first choice, but Saturday afternoon turned out beautiful, sunny and mild.  The clouds cooperated to lend some occassional shade, but when it blazed we headed into the woods to grab shots of Lauren in the nearby pine forest.

To say that Lauren loves trees would be an understatement - she LOVES trees.  The bumper sticker on the back of her car even says "I Love Trees".  I think it's an addicition.  :)  So, to feed the addicition, we found the biggest, coolest tree in the woods and had some fun photographing in, around and under it. Enjoy these teasers from the afternoon!

Megan Morgan {2012 Senior}

Wednesday night with Megan Morgan was completely enchanting, nostalgic and fun!  Megan chose, as one of her senior portrait outfits, to wear her grandmother's handmade prom dress from the 1940s.  The dress was intricate and obviously lovingly constructed, and it was so neat to be a part of a precious memory, passed down over the generations.

The flowy white dress was very fairytale-like and really captured the heart of Megan's portraits.  Megan's other outfits were beautiful too, but there was something so special about the dress that we found that the majority of our images centered around it.  We kind of fell in love with it, you could say!  :)

Please enjoy just this little glimpse of Megan's senior session with us.

Susanna Lindberg {2012 Senior}

We have been looking forward to photographing Susanna's senior portraits for well over a year now and were excited to finally have to opportunity to spend the evening with Suzy and her mom!  Suzy is fun, laid back and truly a kindred spirit.  :)  In between our portrait locations we talked graduation plans, great movies we've seen, and sang in the car at the top of our lungs (well, Suzy and I sang - Kevin and Christina just talked over us and regarded us both as a little "off") - it was perfect!

Susanna was so easy to work with and gorgeous to photograph!  It was a challenge not to get carried away taking pictures, but we did end up shooting until well after dark.  When it was just too cold to be fun anymore we headed over to the Chinese restaurant in town and had a late night dinner of Crab Rangoon, General Tso, and Sweet & Sour Chicken - yum!

Enjoy just this little glimpse of Susanna's session.

Morgan and Spencer {Equine Portraits}

There is something just so beautiful in the bond between a horse and his girl.  <3  Spencer and Morgan are so cute and we had so much fun capturing the relationship between the two of them during this mini equestrian portrait session.

The forecast for the day was all rain, but somehow we were able to sneak in a few images in and around Berwyck Saddle Club for Morgan.  We would have rescheduled since the morning was blustery and cold, but we were working against a deadline - Spencer was moving away and Morgan only had a few days left with him.  The portrait session was beautiful, but bittersweet, to be sure.  Enjoy these few teasers from the day!
