So I have not been as busy as I would like, but I did have the chance to photograph a few awesome seniors.

They are the class of 2017 and they are poised to take over the world. Beautiful, bright, amazing young ladies!!

I am so honored that I had the chance to capture your senior photos for you!

Enjoy your senior year! Take it all in. In the blink of an eye time passes and it becomes a distant memory you wish you could hold onto just a bit longer.

CONGRATULATIONS Elora, MaKayla, and Jacqueline!

I have had the privilege of shooting this beautiful 14 year old for about three years I do believe.
She is such a talented and gifted dancer with a heart of gold.
It is a joy working with her and her family. They have been such a big support through my growth as a photographer, and it is so appreciated.

I always wanted to do a trash the shoe session, and this was just as fun as I thought it would be. Her shoes were what us in the ballet world refer to as “dead”, meaning little to no support and very uncomfortable, hence why we were able to have her en pointe, on concrete. She was a trooper through it all and the photos are wonderful.

New Kids on the Block and 98 Degrees

Soaring Eagle Casino Mt. Pleasant, MI

July 29, 2013

I had so much fun seeing these men!!!! I absolutely adore New Kids on the Block!!! I have been a fan since 89. I love those men as though they are family… they truly are a piece of who I am.
It was bittersweet going to this show. One of my best friends passed away this past October. We met because of these guys and remained friends from that moment on. We met in middle school due to her wearing New Kids buttons and I asked to borrow one… and as they say… the rest is history. I miss her dearly every day but this was difficult to go through without her. She would have either been right there alongside me or I would have been able to tell her about it and share in the excitement.

They put on such a good show! I walked away wanting more! I wish I could see them all the time… lol

I was really impressed with 98 Degrees! I forgot how much I liked them until I realized I knew just about every song they sang!

It truly was an enjoyable night!! the weather was perfect and the show was amazing!!! Wish I coulda seen Boyz II Men but ah well…

I am blessed to have been able to capture the some of the show with my camera and am proud of some of the shots!!

So glad that they chose to go to Soaring Eagle!!! It might have been a bit of a smaller venue but it truly meant the world to us fans that were able to go!!!!
