Baby Avaleigh

Isn’t that a gorgeous name? Avaleigh. I love it. She was so super teeny.

I enjoy the largeness of baby eyes:

I like to pretend that babies expressions mean something. This one is funny to me:

Southfield-Lathrup High School Senior :: Catherine

Catherine came to the studio for her senior portraits and rocked it! She has an interest in modeling which was perfect since our senior portraits are definitely more like modeling portfolio shots than typical senior portraits. She is such a beautiful girl that it was impossible to take a bad photo of her!

She has been playing violin for years now:

I knew she could model because she can pull off the “not smiling” look without looking mad:

I heart this one a lot!:

This might be my favorite from the session:

Thanks to Noir Leather for their awesome flame wall!:

Waterford Mott High School Senior :: Kaitlin

Kaitlin came to us from Waterford Mott High School. She is adorable! She seems like such a happy and down to earth person and I think that really came through well in her photos! We started in the studio and then headed down the River Walk by the Ren Cen for our location session.

Kaitlin is a swimmer and by the looks of all her metals, she’s probably a pretty awesome swimmer!:

I love moody skies:

Emily + Brendan at The Royal Park Hotel

flowers, day of coordinating & all things decor: Emerald City Designs

dress: Ines Di Santo from Roma Sposa

band: Jerry Ross Band

cake: Papa Joes

ceremony location: St. John Fisher Chapel

reception location: The Royal Park Hotel

Emily was beautiful. The ceremony was beautiful. The posed images came out beautifully. The reception was truly beautiful. Even with the rain, this was one heck of a beautiful day for these two.

More brides should wear killer pink shoes! Seriously, no one sees them unless you show them off!:

I am totally in love with this shot:

So cute! On a side note: why does the lobby of the Royal Park smell SO good?!:

Cool bridal party shot:

I dig the darkness and moodiness here, and I love the sneaky look on Emilys face:

I don’t normally show this many detail shots, but Emerald City really outdid themselves! It was breathtaking:

Each centerpiece was individually lit, creating a very dramatic look:

This might be the coolest centerpiece shot I have ever taken:

The head table was amazingly lit with so many candles:

Super sweet first dance shots:

Rings on giant plant in lobby:

Emily + Brendan: I hope your honeymoon is going spectacularly and you enjoyed this sneak peek!

The Saddest Happiest Video Ever

This is the saddest happiest thing I have ever seen. That probably doesn’t make sense if you have not seen this. Don’t watch this is you don’t like crying. It made me cry like a baby.
