It's no secret that I adore all things letterpressed. There is something about a letterpressed print that is just so YUMMY. Sometimes I dream about being one of those cool, crafty chicks who does her own letterpressing. Anyhow - I was super-excited to meet Michelle - who actually is one of those cool, crafty chicks - and to learn about elevated press - a boutique letterpress studio right in Ann Arbor.
Michelle founded elevated press with her husband Peter (who is also a great photographer) and together they design and print some of coolest, most beautiful wedding invites I've seen.
She's working on some awesome save-the-dates for Tommy and I (i'll be sure to post some pics once they're ready!) and will also be designing our invitations and some other goodies. If any of my brides are still looking for invites, you should definitely check her out!
I swung by their studio the other day and snapped a few pictures to share with my lovely blog readers (what's a post without some pictures!?)

and just for fun, here she is with her doggy - who you will probably meet if you ever visit their studio ;-)
thanks michelle!
during my slower months, I'll be making an effort to blog more about people in the wedding industry doing cool stuff - so stay tuned!

So excited to share some favorite images from Noah's awesome Bar Mitzvah!
Another fantastic Dee Dee Hoffman event - this party had it all. The Detroit YMCA was a fun and unique venue that lent itself perfectly to a casual, sports-themed party. There was all the usual dancing, but also rock climbing, dodge ball and hockey for the kids. FUN! And the food was out-of-this-world. 2 Unique really outdid themselves with a delicious strolling supper. There was sushi, pad thai, tenderloin sliders, white truffle mac and cheese (getting hungry now!)....
But first - some photos from our portrait session at Temple Israel
and now for the party! Dee Dee and her team really did a great job transforming the Y.

two new babies in one week - whew!!
I just adore shooting newborns - and it's especially fun when I also got to photograph mom and dad on their wedding day ;-)
Matt and Sarah were such a fun couple to work with. Who'd of thought when I was shooting their wedding that I'd wind up getting married on the same weekend, two years later? I definitely consider that a good omen!
I was so excited when I found out last year that Sarah was expecting, and was absolutely thrilled to meet their beautiful new baby!
Here they are on their wedding day:
and here's a preview of their newborn session with Addy: (click the big image, and use spacebar to advance)
congratulations to the happy family!!

Michelle hired me all the way from Germany, where her and Andreas live. I was so excited to finally meet them for an engagement session while they were in town visiting for the holidays. These two actually have a ridiculously adorable story - they met studying abroad in Australia, and made it work long-distance before finally settling down together ;-)
Anyhow - we met up in downtown Ann Arbor and had a great time wandering back alleys and other little corners of town shooting. Here's some favorites!

this last one is Tommy's shot (he's been tagging along with me on eshoots lately) - and it's totally one of my favorites from the session - GO Tommy!
michelle and andreas - wonderful to meet you both - have a safe journey back ;-)
