I have yet to scan in the featured page from the Metro Detroit Bride magazine.. but I did manage to scan in the Flint Journal’s Wedding Planner. I am excited that they decided on using many of my images for their Jan 2010 planner! This gets distributed at bridal shows and to Flint Journal recipients.

Thank you, Randy Friess, for all your help!

thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I am beyond lucky to have such amazing people in my life. Thanks to everyone who contributed to Saturday’s food drive! It was more successful then I ever could have imagined! Thanks to you, we’ll be feeding lots of Michigan residents hungry bellies over the next few weeks!

We were able to donate 496 POUNDS of food which equates to 496 meals for the hungry (1lb per person, per meal).

I am SO excited to continue charity and fundraiser events, such as this. Please stay tuned to this blog for upcoming events!

mrin : boudoir

When I finished with this session.. I knew it was something big. Something SO big that I have decided to create an entire division of Visual Poetry for. The magic of boudoir photography. My mission for the boudoir division will be to empower women. Every woman deserves to feel beautiful!

Mrin, I hope this makes an amazing valentines day gift for you-know-who.

steph + baby cooper: maternity session

I knew Steph was going to be a ton of fun when she came to our session equipped with music and Jack Johnson was on her playlist.

Fashion in Detroit meets ToughLove.

If you follow my blog or work, I know you’ve heard the name Taryn Scalise or ToughLove before. Taryn was put on a mission – to take a few Fashion in Detroit t-shirts (www.fashionindetroit.com) and reconstruct them into something fabulous. Well, as usual, she went above and beyond. Meet our lovely models: Heather, Marley and Heather. Thats right, two Heathers in one day.

Here are a few images to showcase the efforts Taryn put into her designs. The next Fashion in Detroit Runway Fashion Show will occur in March!
