I got to work with these two for their couples session in Grand Rapids and wanted to share some of the posing ideas I used! I’ve been working with Guadalupe and Mario for a few years now, documenting their family, and I was so thrilled they wanted to do a shoot just for the two […]

This was my second time using the Detroit Institute of Arts as an engagement shoot location. Picture this: I got to shoot at the DIA last month, and let me tell you, I was absolutely buzzing to go back. Then, along came Courtney and AJ. Literally the perfect couple for a session! Not only did […]
