Seriously – CUTEST couple right? We met up with Matt & Bree at a local park to get their engagement photos done. They wanted something fun and relaxed – just like they are. We had the funnest time getting to know them – we may or may not have spent just as much time laughing as we did shooting.

Matt & Bree, you are two amazing people. We had SUCH a fun time meeting you and capturing these moments. We wish you both the best in all that you do – thanks so much for choosing us to be your photographers!

-Jody & Melissa

She wanted some more relaxed less formal photos, so we took the 2 minute drive (it was 105* – no way were we walking!) down the road to wrap up the shoot in a natural setting. These are some of my favorite senior photos – Natalia’s beauty both inside & out truly shines through these, don’t you think?

I just can’t pick a favorite – I’d love to hear which is your fav! Please be sure to check these out on the Facebook page at

Feels like just yesterday I was talking with N about her maternity session, and now here we are, celebrating A’s first year of life with us here! Such a sweet, cuddly little teddy bear, A seems to love the camera. We did a quick shoot at the studio with his custom outfit, and then we let A dig into his adorable blue and white cake. He isn’t shy. Obviously! N, it’s always a pleasure seeing you guys again – I’m so happy to be enjoying watching A grown and look forward to what brightness he brings to everyone’s future!

From her infectious laugh to her polka dot shoes, we knew from the moment we met her Maggie would be a bride we’d never forget. And Bobby – well, we know that really he’s a big ol’ teddy bear who just adores Maggie – he makes that pretty clear just by looking at her.

We were lucky enough to spend the day with this amazing couple and capture the details of arguably one of the most important days in a person’s life. Here are some of our favorites from the day!

Huge thank you to the band Detroit Steel http://detroitsteelrocks.com/ for keeping the party going!!
