Whispering Pines Menu Tasting {Event}

Whispering Pines is a beautiful wedding venue in Pinckney, Michigan. They hold wedding ceremonies as well as receptions; and if booked for a reception, Whispering Pines offer their own catering by chef Peter Veach of Culinary Innovations. Once a year, the venue holds an event that allows potential clients, specifically brides and grooms, to come and sample different selections they have on their menu. Whispering Pines had contacted us to attend one of these events and capture some images they could use for marketing materials. The night produced great results for the venue, and we were able to capture great images as well.

Wayne & Liz {Maternity}

This session was near and dear to our hearts. Wayne Wright is my cousin, and four years ago, we photographed his wedding to his best friend and bride, Liz. When we heard they were expecting their first baby we were super happy for them! Of course, we were equally as excited to photograph their maternity session as well. The day was snowy and cold, but Liz was amazing the entire time. We could not wait to meet this little bundle when he made his entrance into the world! 

Don & Sherry {Vow Renewal}

Don and Sherry Lauer have been friends of ours for years, starting back when we photographed their eldest son’s senior portraits. They are members of our church, Brightmoor Christian, and are a strong couple to look up to. Don has recently struggled with multiple health issues and Sherry has never left his side even in the slightest. This past February was their 25th wedding anniversary, and they decided to renew their wedding vows. When Don and Sherry approached us and asked us to capture their special day, we were honored to say yes. The special day was held at Brightmoor and was filled with the overflowing love that this couple still had for each other even 25 years later. It was touching to see the support and encouragement expressed by their friends and family. 

Holly Monte {2014 Senior}

Holly is a recent graduate of West Highland Christian Academy. We met her through one of the seniors from our kiddos school Livingston Christian. She saw his pictures and decided to contact us. Holly, like us, loves the country scene, and requested to have pictures in the wide open space. However, her session was held on another snowy and cold winter day. Snow plus cold plus country equals numerous challenges - Kevin had to actually snow blow the field in order for us to simply walk out for the portraits! Overall, the session did created a fun and memorable experience! 

Mary Mansour {2014 Senior}

Mary is another graduate from my alma mater, Franklin Road Christian School. We initially had a session with Mary in the beautiful Fall season; however, she wanted some variety to her with her images. So, we scheduled another session during this record breaking winter; and it definitely was an experience! While Mary was looking flawless posing next to the recently fallen snow, I was behind the camera walking in snow that was up to my hip! It was hands down one of the coldest sessions we have held. Nevertheless, we were able to capture some wonderful winter portraits.
