Here is a teaser for this years trash the dress….more photos and video coming soon!

Everytime I go…I am just overwhelmed at the locations for shooting. In Grand Rapids…we do have some good spots..but everyone is using the same spots….because they’re aren’t that many….you all know that alley behind San Chez…that you see on everyones websites..I haven’t used that in a while just out of spite. This is Joe & Kristen…. they live in an amazing place with three levels, a rooftop patio with a view of the city, and adorable bulldog. **bunny trail** My husband and I have already decided when all the kids are gone, we’re moving to a big city before they all demand we have a kid proof house with a giant back yard and a blow up pool! Don’t get me wrong, I love being out in the country and quite and relaxation, but being in the city ~ it energizes me ~ nevermind the visual stimulation. **end of bunny trail** These two were so much fun…as you can see below, and are really in love with each other….and aren’t afraid to make out – awesome! They even took me out to dinner afterwards..which was fabulous – the head chef used to cater for Madonna – impressive…and really had time to talk. It was fabulous and wish I could get to know all my couples this well. Thanks again for reminding me how much I love the windy city….and would love to work there more. Here is my collage of favorites and because you probably would love to see more too…here is the link to their slideshow **click here**

They take a while to load…but totally worth it! Go get a drink and snack…and get ready for some visual goodies!

Here’s what they said…

Lisa:
Absolutely incredible. We had such an amazing time looking through them!!! It truly was like reliving the whole day all over again. When I was looking for a photographer, I wanted to find someone that could tell our story. You’ve done so much more than that. You captured every detail, every moment, every emotion. We cannot begin to thank you enough. I can’t wait to have you photograph our children (hopefully not for a few years though!). You are such a blessing to us, we are so thankful that we found you. You have a beautiful gift, and we hope you keep sharing it with the world – you make it a better place.

Lisa~AmazING pics!!! Thank you!!! THANK YOU for sending the proofs and the slideshow…We appreciate all the time and effort you’ve put into our wedding! Also, many compliments come to you from Iraq, Matt and some of the guys watched the slideshow together and all were impressed!!!

Seriously ~ these children are adorable and as we were shooting, they were entertaining ME! That’s fun. These are the kids from the red couch on the opening photo on my portrait website. I proofed WAY too many pictures for their parents…but how can delete such cute little faces! Here are just a few of my favorites! I love the last group shots dearly…
