Karrie & Matt | Engagements | October 2, 2015

Karrie and Matt are fantastic together!  I can’t wait for their wedding next summer!  They brought signs for props that read, “Our Story Begins Here” and “Adventure is Out There”.  There is nothing that better describes the life experience that will come with getting married and starting a future together, than those signs.  It will be an adventure and they can create any story they’d like.

My favorite part of the time I had with them, was learning that their first date was to the movie UP!  I loved that movie so I had a flash of creative insanity to bring them their own UP adventure.  Sure, flying-people is a little campy, but it is a symbol of believing in what could be.  Believing in adventure and stories!

Believe that your love can bring you a lifetime of adventure and stories!

Melissa & Pablo with 12 Extra Feet | Family | September 25, 2015

I offered a few free pet sittings the other week and nobody took me up on it!  So my pal Melissa brought her fabulous family out to play.  We were graced with an above-average sunset!

My favorite thing about families with young children is the constant chaos!  It is constant motion and I think it amazingly awesome!  Kids don’t sit still, dogs don’t sit still.  And water?! Forget about it!! Somebody is going in! That is family reality!

The Staff | Waiting | August 30, 2015

The things we do to try and fit in . . .  The plan was for Chris to propose to Stephanie right about sunset at outlook #10 at Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive.  In order to look like we were supposed to be there and not give the surprise away, Morgan (assistant extraordinaire) brought along a pal to pretend to do some senior photos.  We monkeyed about for an hour or so waiting for friend Chris to work up the nerve and get down on one knee.  We may have a little too much fun some times.  We had lots of laughs, got to participate in an epic moment in two people’s lives, and then topped off the evening with ice cream.  Since when is a “salty pimp” a sundae name?

Chris & Stephanie |Surprise Engagement | August 30, 2015

Chris emailed a few weeks ago and let me in on a little secret about his plans to ask his sweetie, Stephanie, to be his wife.  He wanted somewhere in Leelanau on the big lake, with a great sunset.  We went back and fourth about where to make this happen.  We decided on Pierce Stocking Drive, vista #10.  It is such a beautiful location and the sunsets there are just stellar!  We set up a ruse to be able to be on site when he was ready to propose.  As the sun sank into a thick bank of lake-haze, he did it!  Chris got down on one knee, pulled out a beautiful ring, and Stephanie said YES!  You know I’m a sucker for lovey, sappy stuff, so of course I had to bring some bubbly and pretty glasses as a gift.

Absolutely a stunning, fun, and happy couple!  Cheers to your future, full of adventure, together!
