Hello Loves!
Just wanted to write a quick note to check in, and explain about the slower blog lately! It’s summertime, days are long, the sun is hot, and life is good!! I’m right in the middle of my busy season, and have been working with the most amazing couples. They’ll be featured here soon! I feel so blessed to have been part of their stories, and to document their love and the most incredible days of their lives. Such a responsibility can’t be rushed!
On a personal note, I’ve been traveling! I got to spend over a week in Minnesota by myself with my closest family and best friends. With no laptop, no camera. (Yup, you read that right!) To be with those who know me the most, deep down, and love me for me. Those who I love with every corner of my heart. In the towns, cities, and lakes that built me. It was a spirit-lifting, soul-healing experience, and just what I needed. I came back to Michigan with memories, a full heart, and happiness in my eyes. I have to admit I shed a little tear watching Minneapolis disappear below me from my airplane window. Although I’m already missing conversations and dance parties with friends, and morning coffee on mom’s porch, I’m happy to be home. My home will always belong with my very best friend and truest love, Jamie, wherever that may be. Maybe we’ll make Minnesota our home again someday, but for now it will have to live in my heart until my next visit…
…which will be soon, actually! (Woot!) I’ll be in Minnesota at the end of September for a short time, and will be booking lifestyle sessions in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area. Family, couples, boudoir…. let me know if you would like to snap up your spot! And if you don’t need a session, no worries, that’s not all I’ll be there for – I would just really love to see you!!
Alright, friends, that’s all for today. I’m back on the road, headed to Chicago for what is sure to be a fabulous engagement session! Have love, will travel!
xoxo, Kristen

Janelle and Shaun were married at the beautiful Millcreek Barn in Watervliet, Michigan, on June 5th. They planned a beautiful, personalized wedding, with no detail left undone. If you are planning a wedding, you are going to love this! If you are planning an outdoor wedding, get ready to get totally giddy on detail goodness!! I don’t think I put my camera down for a single minute. Everywhere I turned, another gorgeous, creative, unique detail. The day was all about Janelle and Shaun, but they weren’t the only ones in love!
The wedding party started their day at the Boulevard Inn in St. Joseph along Lake Michigan. We all watched out the windows as storms passed through, reassuring each other that they would blow over. Julie Strating did a fabulous job on Janelle’s makeup, she looked absolutely stunning! By the time we got to the barn, the weather calmed down, and it was beautiful. Overcast, a little sprinkly, and all kinds of romantic!
Janelle, you are a beautiful bride!!
Lovely ladies! I’m loving the green!
The groom has arrived! Looking dashing, Shaun!
Detail Heaven!! Everything was so sweet, so perfect. Love!
Who wouldn’t want to roast marshmallows at their wedding? The kids loved this!
Oh, Millcreek Barn, I love you so. I hope we can meet again soon!
Janelle and Shaun, thank you for having me. You had an a.m.a.z.i.n.g day!! Wishing you the very, very best!
