Arash & Concetta :: Engagement Session

I met Arash and Concetta at the Lansing Bridal Show last September. What a wonderful couple! From the very beginning we clicked! When Arash booked me for the wedding he said that I might have a problem with Concetta because she didn't like her photo taken. I was shocked because she is gorgeous. Anyway, the first session went extremely well. We had a great time wondering around MSU at night. In fact, it went so well that Concetta called me up and asked when we could do the next session, since she had such a good time during the first one! I am really looking forward to their wedding in November. It will be my first Persian wedding.

Lindsey & David :: Engagement Session

Here are some photos of the second session I had with Lindsey and David. This time we went out to Michigan State's campus. MSU is a great place to photograph especially in the spring time, flowers are in bloom and everything is alive. The three of us had a great time. Enjoy the photos.

Lauren & Chad :: Engagement Session

I include many opportunities to get together with clients before the "big day", the engagement session is one! I love working with engaged couples, they are so much fun and usually so in love, and it shows. Lauren and Chad are one such couple. They are great looking couple and they were fun to work with. Here are some photos from the two sessions we worked together.

When we started the first session it looked like the weather would not cooperate. It was cloudy and rainy to start, but we still got some great shots. We went to take some photos on the MSU campus and on the way it was raining so hard you could not see! We continued on anyway, and were able to get some nice shots inside some of the buildings and in the doorways. Toward the end of the session the rain stopped the clouds parted and the sun came out, it was beautiful and made for a perfect end of a session!

Kayte & Colin :: Engagement Session

Because the couple was pressed for time this was a quick session. Even though it was quick we have a great time. Katie and Colin were a great couple to work with. Colin proposed to Katie and the next day I get a call that they need a photographer and the wedding is in six weeks! Kudos to Katie for putting it all together so quickly. I will be posting photos from their wedding in the next blog installment, but for know here are a few photos from the fantastic engagement session. Enjoy!

Joel & Joanna - Engagement

This has been an on going project since last winter. I love it when we have a little time to work. You couldn't have asked for a better day for the 1st session we did last winter. Sunny day, blue sky and fresh fallen snow. The shoot was a lot of fun. Joel and Joanna were great to work with. We were able to get three session in. The first session was at a little park that I had never been to that the Joel and Joanna recommended, the 2nd location was in the gardens out at Michigan State and the 3rd and last location was downtown in Lansing, around the Lansing Center. Looking forward to their wedding coming up. It is an out side wedding, Love outdoor weddings, heck, I love inside weddings :-) !

The Ladies Rock!

From time to time I will go and rent studio space at Perspective2 and have some friends come out and have a fun time of learning and experimentation without worrying about being "under the gun". Recently, Kelly Botwinski my assistant and Stephanie Hawn our intern joined me. During this session I just sat back and watched while Kelly and Stephanie created. Both Kelly and Stephanie took turns behind the camera while the rest of us directed. They both did an outstanding job. Our recently engaged subjects Eric and Lacey had a great time and they loved the photos. I think you will too!
