Engagement photos at Frederick Meijer Garden (2020)— where the blossoms were falling like confetti and these two were basically starring in their own indie romance film. There’s such an easy sweetness between them here. No posing, no overthinking…just two people who forgot the camera was even there. Petals in their hair, forehead almost-touch, that quiet…
Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, France (2019)— this was the statue waiting for us the moment we stepped into our Airbnb, and tell me he doesn’t look like he’s about to demand a treat and then judge how slowly you hand it over. He instantly reminded me of my doggo, Jasper (RIP). Same chaotic enthusiasm. Same “I run this…
Somewhere in France (2019)— found this little snail minding its business on a random surface like it was posing for a magazine cover. There’s something I love about tiny surprises like this when you travel. You’re looking for castles and coastline and instead you end up having a full photoshoot with a snail who absolutely…
Jessie & Ryan celebrating six years (2018)— and doing it the most them way possible: inside a theater, stealing a kiss while holding film reels like they’re starring in their own rom-com. It’s sweet, it’s nerdy, it’s perfectly on brand. Six years in and still finding ways to make everyday moments feel like a movie…
Glen Arbor, Michigan (2016)— one of those little tucked-away spots that feels like it’s been quietly holding stories for decades. This place wasn’t fancy, wasn’t polished, wasn’t trying to be anything. Just weathered wood, creeping vines, and that soft hush of Up North calm. It’s the kind of scene that makes you slow down without…
Parc Monceau in Paris (2019)— easily one of the most enchanting corners of the whole city. The curved colonnade, the still water, the way the light filters through the trees…it all feels like you’ve wandered into a painting. A quiet little pocket of magic in the middle of Paris.
Sea Life Aquarium in Kansas City, Missouri 2022—where the tanks were glowing, the jellyfish were vibing, and I…was basically this duck. Bright on the outside, blue on the inside, plopped on a metaphorical plank because Dave decided to blow me off that day. Nothing like ocean ambience and a rubber duck to really highlight the…
Clifford’s Tower, York, England — one of those places that looks like it’s been waiting centuries for you to show up and take in the view. There’s something so striking about it perched on that perfect green hill, like a fortress, a landmark, and a piece of lived history all at once. York really knows…
Puerto Rico (2020)— the unexpected stop on our cruise that came with a view nobody plans for but everyone remembers. We pulled in and saw this waterfront scene: boats tossed around like toys, buildings worn from storms and time, a kind of beautiful chaos that tells its own story. It wasn’t the postcard moment, but…
