Mr. and Mrs. Slager

I had the oppurtunity to take some photos of some great friends of Chris and mine. They had a wonderful wedding at the Vinology in Ann Arbor. It was a beautiful venue! I truly love this couple's relationship because they are all about having tons of laughter and joy all around them. Charity and Jay I want to wish you the best and thank you for letting me be such a big part of your big day. Love you both. Melissa

Emily Senior Photo's

I met Emily through friends of friends this summer at a shower and she was interested in senior photos. She is probably one of the sweetest girls that i have ever met, her sweetness equally matches her beauty for the photos. Wonderful senior that is a big fan of volleyball!

I met with a lovely young lady this past weekend for senior photos and we had a blast wondering around downtown. Here are just a few of her pictures from the photo shoot......

Suggestions What to Wear!

I have had some clients tell me that they have had a hard time coming up with clothing combinations for them and their family/ spouses. So I have a couple of pictures below of some samples and then I also have some tips of giving you ideas of what to wear. Hope you enjoy and will be some help!

The first rule of thumb is to choose outfits that coordinate but don’t match exactly. Layers and rich textures photograph beautifully and help give your pictures depth and interest. Choose looks that suit each person’s style and personality rather than having everyone wear the same white shirt and jeans. While it can be a little overwhelming to put together outfits for multiple people, it is well-worth the effort.
Don’t forget your shoes. They will show in some of the photos and you want to make sure they coordinate with your outfits.

Also avoid any type of writing, logo etc. on a shirt. The first thing your eyes will see is the word GAP running across little Jimmy’s chest!



Lastly, Less skin is more when it comes to photography, meaning try to avoid spegetti straps/halter tops, shorts and very low neck lines.

Hope this has been some help, but please let me know if you have anymore questions.

Bamforth Wedding June 11, 2011

Mr and Mrs. Miner :)

You might have remembered this couple back last fall on my blog for some engagement photos, and I am excited to announce that they are MARRIED!! I got to enjoy this wedding as a guest, and truly enjoyed it. (This is a couple snap shots that i got with my smart phone) I wanted to share this you guys to tell you a little about my life/ friends.

My husband Chris, the groom Greg ,and the best man Pat have been very close friends since grade school. When i first met Greg and Pat it was just when Chris and I first started dating and it was just the four of us because Pat's soon to be wife Rachael (which i had not met yet) was away to college and Greg and Ashley had not started dating yet. When I was hanging out with them that night it was a lot of fun and you could tell that these guys had an awesome friendship, and at one point i remember thinking that night "I could only dream of me becoming close with their future wives." . I knew how hard women were to get a long with and let alone you rarely hear of couples being really close friends, but hey maybe?!?!?!

Over the next year or so I met both Pat's g/f Rach (now wife), and Greg's g/f Ashley(also now wife), and for the most part oddly enough the three of us had lots to talk about and over the next few years we all became very close. Close enough that when the guys didn't make plans with each other we were making girls nights out to catch up with each other.  Ashley and Rachael have turned into some of my closest friends and I am SO blessed to have them in my life. I truly cherish their friendship and and can't wait for many more years of memories.   Now being almost five years later  some of the happy times we have been through  are 2 vacations on the lake, 3weddings, 6 moves ( soon to be 8), numerous parties, and last but not least  baby Annabelle!

I thought I would share that little story with you guys of why the Miner Wedding was so special to the Hohlers :) Chris and I are so thankful that we all have some awsome friends like them. We truly enjoyed spending their big day with them!
