Christmas Greetings from the Farm

It’s Christmas Eve at the farm on Willow Road. We’ve had some unseasonably warm weather here over the last few days with a lot of rain and mist on the fields – fallow except for those planted with winter wheat. We saw our neighbor Jim Laramie earlier, who stopped by with the most amazing homemade […]

Pat & Cooper

Pat is a man that I have admired for a long time. Having come out of great personal adversity, he has learned a new trade and turned his life around. Most of the energy for such a transformation has come from his love for his son, Cooper. Pat contacted me a couple of months ago and […]

Candace

Candace is a longtime friend, fellow artist and encourager who decided to treat herself to a portrait sitting. She is finishing her first novel and one of these shots may end up on her book jacket. As stylish and comfortable in front of the camera as she is, it was a challenge culling from the […]

The Coon Family on the Farm

I have some dear friends that have been and incredible encouragement to our family – one of which is an incredibly talented photographer. As is the case with a lot of families, geography has made it tough to get together regularly and they wanted to capture it. Since she needed to be in the pictures, […]

The Dankovich Family

John and Sue are great friends and had their kids in town visiting, along with John’s dad. What better time for some family pictures. Four generations in one place! (Click on image to enlarge)

The Martin Family

I love when one assignment blurs into another! My caramel-making friend Kelly had her entire family in one place for her son’s wedding, so she wanted to take advantage and get some shots of everyone. We were even able to bring a great-grandfather into the “Martin Men” shot through the magic of Photoshop! (Click on […]

Violet

Violet is one of the coolest little girls I know. Her parents are dear friends of mine and wanted to celebrate her first birthday with some pictures in the park. (Click on an image to enlarge)

Alicia & Aaron

My friend Alicia asked if I could do a quick portrait session for her and her son, Aaron. We met on a warm Sunday afternoon at the park and they both did a fantastic job. You can see the connection they have in the quiet of the moment. (Click on an image to enlarge)

Kensington Birmingham Baptisms

My church asked me to shoot the baptisms they were doing last Sunday. I don’t know where you stand on the whole God thing, but it was clear to me that something profound happened in these people’s lives. It was so inspiring to hear their stories and capturing the moment that was so important to […]

Kelly’s Karamels – Wedding Edition

My friend Kelly got caught up in the job layoffs that plagued Detroit several years back and has since become a regional sensation by leveraging the family caramel recipe that she made for friends into an award-winning business. She needed images for some advertising she was doing for weddings and corporate accounts. This was my […]
