Kallie is one of those girls who just has it all -

seriously… brains, beauty  and heart…

She’s truly an amazing girl -

and I am so privileged to have photographed her senior portraits.

.

On a sad but necessary side note,

I am completely booked for my 2010 season…

I will be accepting no other sessions for the rest of the year.

I’m so sorry to those who didn’t get in!

Much love – and have a wonderful fall…

Stay with us – many great updates  coming soon!

This wedding was absolutely perfect….

The day was absolutely perfect -

it rained all morning and cleared up just in time

for the festivities and left us with the most beautiful blue sky!

.

The details were perfect-

Seriously, down to the amazing “Chihuly” Sculptures in the gardens,

the yellow ballet shoes on the beautiful flower girls,

the handmade pottery used in the centerpieces (made lovingly by the bride’s dad),

and really, I could just go on and on… perfect.

.

And the bride and groom were perfect too - truly.

They are just about the sweetest, kindest you could find.

.

Thanks to Fredrik Meijer Gardens for the beautiful day – your work was WONDERFUL!

Thanks to Kate and Nate and a sincere Congrats to you and your families!

First of all – meet Mark and Cassie –

the absolute cutest couple there ever was…

Secondly, see their ahhhhmazing shoot…

Broken into two parts so you can handle the great stuff ahead of you.

.

Special thanks to my great friend Jamie

to which this shoot would have never happened without.

She is the best.

.

Lastly, you should know that Cassie is my hairdresser.

Hands down the best hair dresser I have EVER had the privilege of going to.

If you’re looking for a new one I highly recommend you try her out –  she’s also the best.

Cassie – at Keith’s Hair Design in Sylvania  (419) 882-0912
