A chilly day in the park...

Were we crazy? Maybe a little bit. We headed out to a local park for an engagement session with Kara & Aaron. It was a cold day in mid-November, upper 40s, but we persevered! Below are some of my favorites of this cute couple.

















Congrats, Kara & Aaron!! We're looking forward to your wedding next year!

Jess & Gabe --- October 27

Now that the lovely bride & handsome groom have seen their photos, it's your turn for a peek! Jess & Gabe were married on October 27th at beautiful St. Mary's Cathedral in Saginaw. What a STUNNING church! The stained glass windows were fantastic. After the ceremony, the bridal party braved the clouds and brisk wind for a photo + treat stop at Bayne's Apple Valley Farm in Freeland. Hot cider, free apples, great smells, and warmth... who could ask for more?

Welcome to the new Studio Xplore blog!

Why write a studio blog? There are plenty of reasons! I will be posting studio news, happenings, and tidbits from recent projects. I’ll also let you know when I introduce nifty new products (there are a few in the pipeline… stay tuned!). You can also get to know me a bit better. So put this blog in your “favorites” and check back soon! Our first news item…


The new studioxplore.com website is up and running! This new website is spunky, elegant, easy to update and runs much faster. One neat new feature - you can check out my calendar to see when I’m booked.





Now that the photography section is off the ground, I will start work on the design section. More news on that in a few weeks!
