Retro Family Love

Retro Camper Summer Family Photo shoot

A Redone Vintage Shasta Trailer,  Fuzzy Show bunnies,
and some pin up love!

   Imagine yourself going back in time for a minute where women were classy and sassy, kids were sweet, and love was real. You’ll get these guys, what we’ve been referring to in the studio as “Retro Love” because they just don’t make families like they used to... families like this one!      Yes, Stacy always looks this fabulous. And yes, this really is their Vintage Shasta camper that they redid all on their own!
   If that isn’t enough to keep you scrolling through these adorable moments, just wait until you get to the fluffy bunnies! I know... Pure magic! This little girl was such a proud, responsible mama to her fuzzy babes, who happen to be show bunnies!
   And let’s not forget about those boys! Goofy, sweet, typical boys that love bikes and rolling around on the ground.
   We had such an amazing time photographing this! They hauled the camper to the studio, backed it up, we set up shop, and I just melted in to the background like a fly on the wall with my camera as they played games, giggled, poked fun, and enjoyed life together.

   Brother and Sister. For me, I’ll never know what that’s like. Both my husband and I are only children. And some people may have siblings but they will never appreciate what that could mean for them.
   And then there is this beautiful family. They know the true meaning of family. They have a deep love for each other that also crosses the line into best friends. That’s something I hope everyone can have, whether it’s “blood” or “water” we all deserve to have people in our lives that are there no matter what, thru it all, the good and bad, and the extremely beautiful.
   I met Hannah-Mae and Alexx 5 years ago when the girls came to me to build their model portfolio. We shot together often, making some of my best and my most favorite work at that time, and that allowed us to grow close over that next year.  And then... they moved.
   But 4 years went by and I got a message from their mom telling me they would be making a visit home all the way from Maryland and wanted to book a shoot! And this time they would be bringing along their new little brother- who I think is secretly a superhero, but I know that’s top secret stuff.
   4 years later and my 2 favorite little models came back as amazing, well rounded, shining little women who are now a competitive cheerleader, competitive swimmer, cello player, and fashionista! And that little brother Gabe, he’s a silly, smiley, partially tough guy who has some intense muscles.
   I am SO thankful for them and the relationship we’ve ALL built together. They remind me that there are loving, caring people out there, and being able to photograph them all together sharing those moments made my whole summer. Until next time girls, and my new lil super hero friend.

A Great Gatsby Inspired Michigan Wedding at Tollanders Tree Farm

A Great Gatsby Inspired Wedding

saying "i do" with flapper dresses and moonshine

    Erica and Cory. They are nothing short of perfect for each other. They are the definition of soulmates. And they are 2 of the kindest, most caring, creative people you will ever meet. And always happy. They are always smiling.

    Diamonds, feathers, teacups, and cupcakes. Flapper girls and classy women.

   Moonshine, cigars, suspenders, and bow ties. Prohibition men and trouble making boys.

   This is the world you are about to step in to and it’s nothing short of fabulous. It’s above and beyond what you ever envision on your wedding day, or any day. It’s a beautifully choreographed day of love put together by the two main stars of the night.

   This was such a magical day to be a part of, and let’s be honest, it’s 100% a photographer’s dream. This is the stuff magazines and Pinterest is made of! This is the wedding everyone wants and tries for but falls short because they don’t pay close enough attention to details or they are just not willing to put their all into everything they do.

   This was 8 hours of dress up, 8 hours of fun and games, 8 hours of stepping back in time and celebrating love, sass and class with laughing, crying, dancing, drinking, and beautiful stories being shared.

   Now watch as we tell you their story through photographs-

Retro Mommy and Son Moments

Pin Up Mom,Vintage Car,the Golden hour

Mommy and Me Retro Summer Session in Lexington, MI

   Oh Linsay- you doll. And Elliot- you little handsome busy body!
   These two were adorable, all the way around. The way they looked, their personalities, and how they interacted with each other.
   Mom knows the pin up style- she did her own hair and makeup and already had her outfit nailed down before we even met up! Little man, he kept us on our toes and laughing- making stick and rock lemonade at their picnic, helping mom drive, and his silly toothy little smirk when he would pop his head around corners!
   I live for these moments! They aren't posed, they are unexpected, and they are always the best! You can't plan for perfection, it just happens!
   What makes me even happier is Linsay is freezing a moment in time, not only for herself to look back on, but for her son too! I imagine him pulling these images off his mother's walls 50 years from now to have and hold in his own home, passed down again and again, even down to his children who will love seeing their father at this moment in his life That's what art is about. Not about the facebook likes or shares, but about a legacy you're family can physically hold on to and embrace emotionally.
