This year I had a goal- take less “portraits.” I know that sounds ridiculous but I was swooning over the images I was seeing on Pinterest- full of love, fun, emotion. And my photography runs on emotion.
If you give me a love story, a trauma, even a fairytale, what I can create for you exceeds what I work off of when I’m just running on colors of clothes.
With Kaley and Shawn I got the most adorable love story! They’ve been together since they were young (as if they’re old now... haha) and got married, moved, and Shawn enlisted in the military before they were even 20. I loved watching their love story unfold as the images popped up in my facebook feed over the years.
Kaley came to me for her Senior Portraits nearly 4 years ago and she was a beauty back then. Not much has changed.
Fast forward to now. They were home visiting from the sunny, warm state of Texas and booked a shoot in Michigan with AJBC Photography in the dead of Winter. Snow, deep snow, and below freezing temps, way below, just a touch above zero.
We grabbed a warm blanket, headed out to the forest and I just watched them enjoy each other, snuggling, dancing, smooching. I didn’t need to ask them to “act like they like each other” like we’ve had to do with so many couples in the past.
It felt so good to photograph people just being themselves. I’ve never been one for awkward stiff posing, but I’m losing that “posing” side of me even more, and I love it!!

That goofy in love stage. Not many keep that feeling alive, but Brad and Melissa act like they’re still 2 young kids on one of their first dates, and it’s adorable to photograph.
They wanted to keep it simple, and true to who they are. They told me of the stories of when they first met and how they didn’t have a lot of money so they spent a lot of time on the back roads.
They would buy a case of beer, fill up the cooler, head out, fish, cruise, and just enjoy each other. It was so low key and sweet to recreate that. And of course the beers were real, because, I mean, we’re going 100% authentic here!
Watching Melissa stick her tongue out at Brad and Brad scoopher up in his arms and spin her in the middle of the dusty road as the sun set off in the distance, it was super easy to capture that emotion of love because it was so obviously still alive in them!
And then to celebrate we cracked a cold one open in the middle of the studio driveway afterwards. Perfect way to end the night.
Cheers!
