Kalamazoo Models

Liz - Downtown Kalamazoo golden hour portraits

Liz kicked off warm weather portraits with all of an hour to shoot before our light was gone, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have this gorgeous girl in front of my lens.
Her outfit is unbelievably chic (hello usable pockets!) and the best part is it came from her grandmother! I guess there’s no question where she got that great sense of style.
You are fabulous in every way Liz, stay golden.

Kristin - Kalamazoo portrait session

When Kristin and I met at a photography workshop last winter, we knew we had to work together on a creative project. With wedding season winding down, it was the perfect time to do just that!
Not only is Kristin a super talented model that is essentially a modern day warrior princess, but she’s the sweetest ever to spend time with, and also has mad skills behind a camera.

We took advantage of an unseasonably warm Thanksgiving weekend to adventure around one of my favorite Kalamazoo locations, for some moody portrait magic. I can’t wait for future projects with this amazing person!

Bethany - Kalamazoo portraits

Bethany is one of my favorite people. She can brighten up any room she walks into. 

When one of my shoots had to be postponed, but the lighting was just to good to pass up on, Bethany came to the rescue with her fabulous sense of style as always. 
This entire session was shot in 25 minutes with a 50mm lens, because I never like to shy away from a challenge! 

Mandie - Kalamazoo winter portraits

When the day of Mandie's portrait session arrived, it was a balmy 7 degrees outside. Was that going to stop us from taking some killer photos? Heck no. Not a chance. 
I love the opportunity to find new locations, killer light and studio time. We even managed to grab a few outside, this lady is a true champion!

Mia and Ni - A Kalamazoo Portrait session

I've been wanting to do a greenhouse shoot for (no exaggeration) years
I had photographed people in greenhouses and gardens, but I had been dying to put together a stylized shoot where we could take some pretty people and hang out in a plant-filled-wonderland for an afternoon. 
So thrilled with the lovely ladies that were a part of it. Ni and Mia were both effortless to shoot, and I ended up with way too many favorites to choose from!

Huge thank you to Vandersalm's who let us adventure around, that place is amazing. 
Go buy a succulent, you won't regret it.
