I'm lucky to have grown up spending my summers at the lake with my cousins (who all happen to be my best friends). I'm even luckier my kids get to grow up doing the same thing. Labor day weekend at the lake has become a little tradition. These are the moments and memories I want my children to remember, just like I do.

A blog of all my most recent photos
A Family in Motion
A family after my own heart, these guys were a blast to capture. Two young kids constantly in motion, which meant I was constantly in motion. (lots of soccer, running, walking, swinging and waving) But we managed to slow down by the end of the session for a little bit of ice cream. :) But if you don't believe me, take a look for yourself.
Beach Bum
The beach is amazing. I love taking photos there. The light is always great and its easy to compose great shots with all the negative space around. It's a refreshing and calming break from the busy day-to-day. Here are a few of my favorites from my most recent vacation.
A Guest's Perspective
Sometimes having the wedding guest's perspective is a good thing. It gives you a chance, as a photographer, to capture those moments that normally may not be photographed by the hired gun. Plus I love going as a guest and giving the couple a surprise additions to their album. Here are some of my favorites from my cousin's beautiful barn wedding.
Perfect timing to find one of the ring bearers with a snagged cake pop.
Two other guests being themselves and not posing for the camera. This is the stuff I love.
The brother of the bride saying a few words for the bride and groom.
The kids taking a "time out"
Just hanging out in the crowd.
The bride and groom being themselves after all the formalities are over.
And the best part, the bride and groom having a late night serenade. This is one I know that they will look back on and smile ;)
A Vintage Style Family Portrait
Love this family! Their littlest one just turned one and we thought would be a great to get some family portraits to remember the milestone. We picked a great setting close to their home, the Martin Van Buren National landmark. We were able to capture a great vintage feel. I just love how these came out.
