Where do I draw my inspiration?
Mostly from YOU!!
I get inspired by watching you laugh at your engagement shoot and cry at your wedding.
I get inspired by helping you learn to pose as a model or by teaching you how to use a camera as a photographer.
I get inspired by the light as it glides over your face how it looks when it makes the twinkle in your eyes.
I love to capture your moments and I am mindful of the need to deliver a quality product that you will cherish for generations.

As a result several new films are shooting in Michigan. “Youth in Revolt” was shot partly in Interlochen. I saw the film crew out...
I wanted to post a video slide show from Jessica and Kyle’s spring photo shoot but unfortunately the music starts as soon as you open the blog. It also causes the blog to run slowly. So instead of posting it here I thought I would just give you the link and you can check it...
