From hiding under a bridge in Port Huron to capture the moment Silas asked Kailey to marry him, to their wedding at Adrian College and Christmas photos, taking pictures of Xavier’s brother and his wife has been a joy over the years. Traveling with them to Florida was a perfect opportunity to do an updated […]

Silas + Kailey | Florida Session

Xavier and I have enjoyed traveling on a budget for the whole of our marriage. From packing our two door car and driving over 1300 miles to camp on the red shores of Prince Edward Island, to hiking endless miles with Walmart boots in Colorado, and sleeping in the back of a minivan in Hawaii, […]

Felix in Florida

One of my goals while I was in New Mexico was to do a couples session. Xav and took a ton of walks and the scenery was so breathtaking that I kept dreaming about shooting in it! Finally, I decided to see if I could find a couple on Instagram and I ran across Katie […]

Tyler + Katie | New Mexico Anniversary Session

After five weeks of living in the desert, I am excited to be home in Michigan! Xavier’s internship started in Albuquerque around the middle of May and, after I wrapped up the first part of my wedding season, I was able to fly out and join him at the end of June. We’ve traveled a […]

Living in New Mexico | Recap

Three years ago, I blogged about some of our favorite and cheap date nights. Living out of an Airbnb for the past several weeks has changed our date routine quite a bit. Besides hiking and the zoo, here are our current favorite things to do for date night. 1. Ice cream. It probably doesn’t need […]

Fave Dates with Xav

True friends are always together in spirit.  – Anne with an “e” (L. M. Montgomery) Though our friendship started on very rocky ground, Natalie has been the Diana to my Anne for almost 20 years. When she got married last October, I was heartbroken at the thought of her living so many states away. We […]

Aaron + Natalie | Half Year Anniversary

Xav and I “officially” discovered Parks and Rec (the TV show) several Thanksgiving Days ago on our way to a family lunch… but it wasn’t until our honeymoon that we became true fans. On one of the days, we were planning to hit the road early and go to the dunes before it got too […]

Our Andy and April Trip

Have you ever felt scattered and unable to focus? I currently have five projects open on my desk (not ideal or most productive way to do things, but like I said I can’t focus… so I keep hopping from one to the next). In between my pile jumping, I get distracted by thoughts of other projects I […]

22 goals for my 23rd year

I figured it was about time to post the rest of our honeymoon adventures so that we don’t forget too much about it or have just part one existing forever alone (to read part one click here). We mostly hung out around Crystal Lake and Frankfort during our week up north, but we also took two […]

Our Honeymoon Part 2

Marrying Xavier, surrounded by God, friends, family and gorgeous summer light was such a joy-filled experience and something I hope I will always remember in such a clear way. I hadn’t had much time to think about the honeymoon beforehand so the only thing I had anticipated about it was that there would be tears as we left […]
