SENIORS: MEAGHAN

I met Meahgan (and her mom Maureen) while shooting her aunt Jen's wedding at Misty Farms earlier this year. I remember she and her sister Emily spent some time hanging around while I took portraits of Jen. It's hard not to notice a girl with such amazing red hair! Meaghan is a super active senior, she's on the field hockey team and the ICE hockey team. Yes, that's right, her high school offers a girls ice hockey team. Totally badass, in my opinion. Meaghan, Maureen and I met up recently to wander Nichols Arboretum and make some photos where we scored some incredible weather to show off Meaghan's fiery hair!

I'm just gunna start with one of my favorite from our shoot. 

Meaghan has the BEST freckles. 

Golden light for a golden girl. 

Have a great senior year, Meaghan! I hope to see you on the field and the ice! :)

SENIORS: Jenny M

It's one of my favorite times of year, and I don't just mean football! It's senior portrait season and we all know how much I love getting to meet and photograph Ann Arbor area seniors!

I'm excited to share some new faces here on my blog. First up, Jenny! Jenny, her mom and I met in mid-August at the ever-so popular Matthaei Botanical Gardens, where the flowers were in full bloom.

So much COLOR! :)

I'm pretty sure this is Jenny laughing at one of my HEElarious jokes! :D

I collaborated with Mother Nature's wind machine to bring you this new Pantene ad. ;) But for real, Jenny's hair is gorgeous! 

Jenny, enjoy your last year of high school!Live it up! :)

Wedding: Alex & Chris @ Barton Hills Country Club

Alex, an Ann Arbor native and Chris, a Marine from Kalamazoo, met and started dating at Western Michigan University. I was introduce to the pair through an old college friend of mine (Hi Dan!) and I couldn't be more grateful. Alex and Chris are surrounded by loving friends and family and it was wonderful opportunity to be near them on such a special day. The day began with the ceremony at St. Francis of Assisi in Ann Arbor and ended with the reception and party at Barton Hills Country Club. 

Check out a few photos from their lovely early August wedding below:

I had to include these two. I just love the maid of honor's reaction to trying some super powered breath drops!

One last bubble before you go!

Gotta love a fella in uniform!

Apparently I am a very funny photographer! :)

We slipped out of dinner to make a few photos before the sun went down. I love doing this my couples. It's a moment of quite amid the frenzy of the day.

 

Such a sweet moment as Alex's maid of honor tears up during her speech. 

Party time!

I saved one of my favorite photos for last! Congratulations, Alex and Chris! Dream big and love big as you grow on this great journey together!
