spring stoney creek engagement

I don’t know how I let this gorgeous session slip through the cracks! When I noticed that I never blogged Kathryn + Nathan’s spring stoney creek engagement I knew I’d have to go back and share it. The sunset during our spring session in the park and at the beach was to die for! And […]

Dreamy Engagement Photos on a Row Boat l Kari Dawson Photography

Mitch + Whitney met at the Hoedown, a huge country music festival in Detroit that occurs annually. They love country music. I love country music. Let’s be friends.

My family sessions are reserved for close friends/family and if you’re really lucky I’ll throw in a few days of […]

All the pieces of their classic and romantic winter Iroquois Club wedding were coming together. I unintentionally made my bride tear up! Who does that?
