A Journey

{Garden City,Canton,Belle Isle,Detroit,Novi,Northville Family, Event and Wedding Photographer}

 

I have some very special clients.  Like, super special.  They were my first-ever clients, who took a chance on a fledgling like me and saw some potential, and after our first session, an engagement session in downtown Plymouth, Michigan, they became my lifelong clients, and I’ve had the very special privilege of photographing many of their milestones along the way.

So, here’s the journey that led to this:

A friend of my sister saw some of my work on facebook, and since she was newly engaged, she asked me to take some pictures of them for their announcements.  I still had a lot to learn back then, but they liked my “eye” and wanted me to photograph their wedding. So, I did.

A couple of months later, we took some large family pictures:

And, soon afterward, the bride’s daughter was starting kindergarten:

Fast forward a few months, and my new friends are expecting:

And THEN, the big day:

And last but not least, the new family and the sweet baby boy (see above big family picture if you’re curious just how long it has been since there was a boy in the family!):

Can’t wait until next time!
