Noelle is an amazing photog here in Toledo who is super sweet and talks faster than you can hear.  We've recently become friends... She's introduced me to some fab shopping spots in Ann Arbor and I adore her style.  She recently rebranded her business and was in need of some new fab photos, and I was more than honored to help out in that area.  She wanted some yummy light, so I took her to the spot with the tastiest light in town.  It's always fun shooting other photographers... I'll be posting a mini session soon with Noelle & her hubby.

I recently was asked by the fabulous Nikki Wolfe of Elite Events to photograph her daughter's first birthday.  I of course said yes, I was able to photograph the baby shower last May and thought it would be full circle experience to be there on Isabella's first birthday.  She transformed her backyard into a cupcake themed pink wonderland, totally fitting for her little cupcake :)

Mary, thank you so much for coming out to shoot isabellas birthday. Your work is amazing and I will treasure these photos!

Remember Kate & Ben?  They had a reception at Maumee Bay in May, it was 40 degrees with 40 mph winds, the goosebumps, the wind blown hair.  Not exactly helpful for portraits!  We got together again, had some beers, and shot some new portraits under much better weather conditions.

They are all nice, but the last one is priceless. The expressions, the love, the contact they have with each other and the camera really make it stand out.

So you know how people say that your wedding is the last time you'll be professionally photographed, people say that right?! Well it doesn't have to be true! I'm now offering a new type of shoot directly to married couples.  These shoots are fun, give you a chance to reconnect with one another and remember what it felt like when you first met... oh and they are a great excuse for a date night!

I would like to offer the first 10 couples who book a 50% discount on their session fee to get the ball rolling.  I am looking to book sessions in June & July on a week night.  If you want to reconnect with your spouse and have some rad photos of the two of you, contact me.

Some of my favourite shoots have been with married couples...

I really have to just let these photos speak for themselves.  My former 2nd shooter, Miss Abby and her man, Erik, plus their new pup, Sweet Pea... and their gorgeous BLUE Bajaj Chetak Scooter... yeah, it was RAD to the nth degree (which my engineer hubby says is a lot!!).

We were a sight to see downtown Toledo.  Me hanging out the back of my bright blue Honda Insight, absent-minded-ly shooting... totally forgetting that I was hanging out the back of a car... on the road, going the speed limit, whilst my hubby drove.  Thank goodness we didn't get a ticket... Phil kept telling me that the horse police, who frequently gallop downtown, were going to get us.  Whatever I have to do to get the shot!  It was a blast.  It was the perfect shoot to start this season.  It was fantastic to see Abby & Erik who drove up from Georgia.  Good times & high fives ;) all around!

Thank you Troxvick for doing your thaaaannnng and allowing me to capture it :)

I know I said I'd just let the photos do the talking... but I had to write a bunch to give them all time to load for you :)
