~Anna & Rebecca : Child Photography ~

Allow me to introduce two cuties:  Anna and Rebecca!  They are sisters, age 3 and 6, and we had a super fun photo session a few weeks ago.  The fall colors were just starting, yet there were still lots of flowers left from summer.  AND... we even had some fun playing in the creek.  A very well-rounded photo session.  :)  

Below are a few of my favorite images.  Enjoy!

anna!  age 3

such a cutie

big sister, rebecca, age 6.

beautiful little lady

sisters :)

rebecca made my job SO easy.  she was a great little model.

anna was a little trickier to catch (as 3 year olds often are!).  but when she stopped for a second,
i was able to capture some beautiful images, like this one!

playing in the creek.

the flowers in the background remind me of a Monet painting.

wheeee!

beautiful sisters.

a top favorite!  sisterly love.  :)

A huge thanks to Rebecca, Anna, and their parents, Wendy & Robert, for a fun photo session.  I hope you love your images...I sure had fun capturing them!!

~Laura & Chase : Wedding Photography (Part One!!)~

This past July, I had the honor of documenting Chase & Laura's wedding in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  It was a gorgeous (and very toasty!!) summer day.

Chase & Laura are probably the most adorable couple I have ever met.  They are SO nice and fun to be around.  They are also incredibly laid back, which made shooting their wedding an absolute pleasure. Seriously...I love these two!

I am so excited to finally share some photos from their big day.  I decided to break this up into two posts, because I simply could not narrow things down!

I also want to mention that the wonderful Sarah Barthlow helped me on this shoot...a big thanks to Sarah for all the amazing shots she captured.

With no further delay, please enjoy Part One from Chase & Laura's wedding day.  More to come in just a couple days!

the day started at First Congregational Church, Ann Arbor, Michigan

Congratulations to Laura & Chase!  It was so much fun photographing your wedding day.  I hope you love the photos, and stay tuned for more!!  The next post will include fun with the bridal party, bride & groom portraits, and the reception.

Thanks, everyone, for looking.
