Years ago I made the decision to focus my business.  I wanted to be the best event photographer I was capable of being.  I immersed myself into seminars, workshops, and mentor relationships that were so critical in my growth as a photographer.  Because I chose to focus on events and weddings which primarily occur during the summer and fall, that means I usually referred high school seniors which have their peak season at the same time.  I’m ok with not being everything to everyone.  However, I do open my schedule to a small handful of other types of photography to keep things fresh and interesting.  Or if the client begs.  :)  In the last few weeks, in addition to shooting amazing weddings in Minneapolis and Petoskey (which we still need to finish and blog), I was honored to shoot a pregnancy, hospital delivery, and newborn photos for a precious couple and their little girl (also plan on blogging at some point).  Today I had the joy of working with Lauren and her mother, Diane, for a senior portrait session!  I have two more seniors in the next week, along with another fabulous wedding at a private residence on Grand Traverse Bay!  Oh, and a small shoot for Mario Batali (if you’re up for a lovely evening in Traverse City, get your tickets HERE).  Yes, we’re very busy around here but we’re loving every minute!  Forgive me for blogging out of order, but I wanted to post a quick photo of Lauren!  Such a natural beauty with the sweetest spirit to match.  Special thanks to Julie Strating for her humidity-proof make-up talents!
