Sarah LaRosa Model Shoot in Traverse City.
I traveled to Traverse City in February and met with several friends. One friend, Terry Clark, created a make-shift studio in an industrial park and invited me to come and shoot with him.

Michigan State University Alumni Chapel in Winter.
East Lansing had snow last night so I thought I would venture over to the MSU Alumni Chapel to capture some winter photos. I have a few weddings booked there this summer and I thought it would be fun to show the summer and winter versions. I am sorry that this slide show ends abruptly....

In the Garden of Eden photo shoot.
Welcome to the wonderful world of off-the-cuff creativity. Joe (actionjoephotography) and I met Samantha Harris and Kyle Gask-Wilson for a photo shoot at McCormick park in Williamston, Mi.

I started these workshops last summer and the first one only had four models....
