So excited to share Emily's senior session today! Emily is such a beauty both outside and in, and I just loved getting to work with her (and her cute pup!) I think I love senior sessions so much because we get time to relax and showcase authentic personalities and I love that each session is such a unique reflection of each person. Emily's definitely reflects her personality-- laid back, joyful and fun! Here are some favorites, enjoy! 

A few weeks ago Lauren and John were married at one of Lauren's favorite places-- her family cottage at Houghton Lake! Northern Michigan is so beautiful and Houghton Lake was no exception; we battled rain all day long even running in and out as showers passed overhead but no one let the dreary skies dampen their spirits. After a beautiful ceremony the couple danced the night away and it was such an honor to be a part of their day! Here are some of my favorites! 

Can I tell you a secret? I used to cringe when I had people tell me they wanted to bring their dogs to their sessions. For some reason I had listened to other photographers with horror stories of wild animals and failed sessions. After having my third pet join a session I realized that the dogs were great and added such a fun element to the shoot! Ever since then I encourage clients who really want to include their furbabies to bring them along! So far I have never had an unruly pet and I have loved the dynamic they bring. Just check out ROY  above. Isn't he a handsome guy?! He added such a fun element to Audrey and Ryan's session! He can't be at their November wedding but I sort of wish he was! Check out my favorites from our time together and stay tuned for their Cheney Place nuptials coming this winter!
