A *Proposal* Session in Traverse City, MI
Last month, I got to be part of a VERY special engagement session. My sister’s best friend, Ashlee, contacted me earlier this year about doing a shoot with her and her sweetie pie, Jon, while I was home in Michigan. Ashlee and Jon had already started planning their wedding, but there were still a few things to fall into place – namely, an official proposal with a ring and Jon on one knee and all that. So my sister, Jon and I came up with a plan for Jon to surprise Ash during the shoot. Jon carved a hole in a special journal he’d bought for Ashlee, and we tucked the ring inside. Once we got settled in the apple orchard where Ashlee had played as a kid, I had them sit on a blanket and pretend to be reading the book. Ashlee was so surprised to find a sparkly, just-for-her ring inside (she’d even gone as far as wearing a ring she already owned so there would be one on her finger in the shoot). Then Jon did his very sweet proposing and voila!
Ashlee and Jon, I am so thrilled for you two! Can’t wait to hear all about your wedding in Hawaii!
To keep up with the baby theme we’ve got going today, here are a few of my sweet nephew Porter when he was about a week old. He’s seven weeks old now, and already looks so different. Babies grow entirely too fast, which is why it’s so important to document those first days when they’re still itty bitty.
I know I am biased, but I think he’s pretty adorable.
I love you, Porter Pie!
On July 27th, my little sister Corinn (you may remember her wedding last June) and my brother- in- law Nick brought my wee nephew into the world! Before I show off some pictures of new most favorite person, I wanted to share some I took of my sis and Nick when I was home a month before the baby was born.
And of course we had to get some with the dad-to-be!
With their first baby, Leo.
Stay tuned for pictures of the sweet boy himself!
