What an awesome day this was!  Danielle was Bat Mitzvah'd last weekend at Shaarey Zedek, with a party at Wabeek Country Club. 

Here's a few portraits from Synagogue



the whole fam...



With her sister Mia

The party at Wabeek had a camp theme, which was so much fun.  The decorations were fantastic - there was even a little campfire display!

love this shot of Danielle

her dress was to die for - so sparkly!



what do you think - is she having fun? ;-)

the hora



I gotta give major props to Danielle's Dad - this was possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen at a Bat Mitzvah!  He preformed a special rap spoof of 'fergalicious' for the guests - it rocked!


thanks to the Rubin family for chosing me as your photographer - hope you guys had a blast!

What an awesome session I had with these two!  Sometimes my favorite shoots are the ones where we set out without any real location in mind and just follow the light.  That's exactly what we did here - wandered through some corners of Ann Arbor in search of amazing light - and did we ever find it!

I'm feeling generous today, and there are a ton of images I love from this shoot, so here we go!

Aren't they a cute couple ;-)


I'm always on the lookout for creative ways to utilize a unique scene...

Are you kidding me with this cuteness?!  These two are some of my favorites of the day



Something a little moodier...







here's that light I love!



Lindsay and Bryden - thanks so much for a fun shoot!  Enjoy the rest of your time in A2 - and see you SOON for the wedding!

We met up with matt and megan while we were in Chicago last weekend for an engagement shoot.  While it was a little chilly out, we still got some amazing images!

This is one of my faves








And I love this one - so cute!






Thanks for the fun shoot guys - and for the restaurant rec. - Spring was AMAZING!  So excited for the wedding - see you in June!

Tommy and I trekked to Chicago this past weekend for two awesome engagement sessions.  I gotta say - Chicago rocks!  What a great city.  Amazing parks and beaches, and public art everywhere.  We had a delightful time ;-)

First up are Lynn and Shane, who are getting married later this summer.

We cruised around to a few different spots in the city




We were determined to get some cool 'skyline' photos - let's just say, they're really not kidding around with that 'windy city' stuff!



It wouldn't be a trip to Chicago without a photo op at Millenium Park ;-)

I Looooove this kind of light -





Thanks Lynn and Shane - looking forward to the big day!

I met up with Jen and Ken earlier today for an engagement session  - we chose U of M's law quad (ken is an alum) which is always a lovely spot to shoot!

I think this is my favorite shot from our whole shoot - it really shows how playful they are - these guys kept each other laughing the whole time ;-)
















thanks for the fun shoot guys - and for the wine - you rule!  So excited for the big day next month!
