A First Birthday Extravaganza!

Hello everyone! This post has been a little harder for me to write than others, and I’ll tell you why. This handsome little man that we have been photographing for the last year turned One, which means our monthly story with him is now at an end. There is hope still, we will be seeing him every 6 months or so to take pictures of him and his lovely older sisters, but it just won’t be the same. 🙁 But, on to the fun part of this blog post, right? Let’s talk a little more about Spencer’s First Birthday Extravaganza! Be prepared for a LOT of photos to look at! 🙂

Why Wedding Details Can Make or Break Your Wedding Album

We are sure that the very first thing you picture in your mind when thinking about weddings, is the bride and groom, right? A couple who is madly in love with one another, their day and faces filled with happy tears, laughter, dancing, and romance.

We are sure that one of the last things you think of, while picturing a wedding, are the table settings, bridal bouquets, the flowers lining the aisle, the secret pin that grandma gave the bride, and other small details, right?

Well, we are writing this blog post to inform you, that those small, and seemingly insignificant wedding details, can make or break your wedding album!

So let us be the first to tell you – Wedding Details are Important!

Pvt. Castillo – A Memorial Day Post

Today, we want to take a moment to remember all of the fallen heroes who have given their lives in the line of duty for the United States of America and her people. Please, take a moment to yourself, to quietly reflect upon their sacrifice before continuing with reading this special blog post. You see, Jeff and I both think about this monumental sacrifice throughout all of the Veteran’s Holidays. This includes, Memorial Day, Veteran’s Day, and any other National or Local Holiday that is dedicated to honoring the lives of all service members. We know that this particular blog post would be better done on Veteran’s Day, but, we don’t want to wait that long, and we’re sure our friend Pvt. Castillo, doesn’t either. Lol. Read more below to learn a little about Pvt. Castillo.

Munising Michigan Waterfalls Engagement Session

A few months back, Jeff and I offered an Engagement Session Giveaway. Little did we know, it would change our lives for the better. How you ask? Well, because of that giveaway, we were able to meet Jamie and Matt – two amazing people with a strong love for each other and all they’ve accomplished throughout life together. (Jamie is an Elementary School Teacher, and Matt is a Mechanical Engineer.) Jamie entered our giveaway, and told us a lot about their relationship, and I simply knew right away, that we had to meet them! After meeting with them to discuss the details of the Engagement Session Giveaway, and to plan out their Engagement Session, Jeff and I quickly realized that we were connecting with Jamie and Matt on a much deeper level than some of our past clients. We simply knew that this adorable couple seated across from us, would become one of our favorites to work with. After learning more about them, we decided to mention that we would love to do an Engagement Session in front of the natural stunning waterfalls, found in Munising, Michigan. They quickly agreed that the idea was an amazing idea, and that we should move forward with this dreamy and romantic plan. Keep reading to see what happens next during the Munising Michigan Waterfalls Engagement Session with Matt & Jamie!
