I had the pleasure of working up some images for the D&M Designs’ website last week.  Dave and Michele are the most creative and wonderful people!  I love the opportunity to get creative and try new things.  And the detail parts are my favorite!

Jodi, Todd, and their daughters were the willing participants in the Castle Farms Not So Real Wedding event.  Jodi and Todd are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary this month and after hearing the stories about their real wedding years ago, they deserved this fantastic event!  They were so great to work with and be around! Days like this with lovely people like these, affirm my faith in long-lasting unions and make me proud to do my job.

This event was a bridal show alternative that showcased some of the best Preferred Service Providers from Castle Farms’ PSP list.  It showcased a vow renewal ceremony, delicious dinner, and dance party reception. Guests were able to have a full-sensory Castle Farms wedding experience; seeing, tasting, and hearing the wedding vendors in action!

May Sales 2015 2

One of my favorite times of the year is the week of cherry blossoms. Depending on when (yes, in Michigan is a very uncertain WHEN) spring actually begins, determines when the cherry blossoms are going to be the best. In past years, right around the middle of May has been when the trees are in full bloom. However, if spring comes early, they will peak in the first half of the month, if spring comes late, they will peak in the last half of the month. This year I would like to plan ahead and see what we can get scheduled in for family photos, engagement sittings, and child/baby shoots. Sooooo, for the ENTIRE month of May I will be running a special package for every sitting we do in a cherry orchard!!

In honor of my new fancy sales cards (that I am over the moon in love with) I will be running a pet portrait special!
