Sam Poerio Park Halloween Session

When the client asks for a spooky session, I deliver! This is seriously the most fun I’ve had taking photos in a while! I love getting the chance to get creative and stray from my typical editing style. I wanted to emphasize those crispy fall colors, while still giving the photos a grainy, film look. Thanks to the clients for bringing such bad ass props to the session!

Simmon’s Island October Proposal Session

Can we talk about how absolutely stunning the colors are at Simmon’s Island this time of year?? We could not have had better luck with the weather this day. The sky was clear, the air was crisp, and Lake Michigan was my favorite shade of deep blue. The golden beach grass always looks stunning in those conditions. :)

October Petrifying Springs Maternity Session

I’m back at Petrifying Springs, but this time, Fall is truly in the air! Every time I have a shoot at Pets, I arrive 30 minutes early and bite my nails as I watch all the other photographers set up in my favorite spots to shoot. I always think to myself, is it really worth competing for a spot every time? The answer is yes, especially this time of year!

My Photography Journey

My photography journey began my senior year of college, when I had already completed most of the courses required for my major, and I had the opportunity to take a class just for fun. I decided to sign up for Introduction to Digital Photography, and I enjoyed it way more than I ever expected to! I’ve always loved creating, but something about the challenge of turning a real life moment into a work of art especially intrigued me.
