I love supporting local businesses, and entrepreneurs and mom-preneurs have a special place in my heart. I met Nikki through our local BNI (Business Networking International) chapter in Dexter, the Networking Ninjas. Nikki is still in the beginning of her Arbonne adventure, but she’s a go getter and hard worker and is certainly the right […]

I so enjoyed meeting Kate and her mom! Kate definitely has her sights set on doing well in school and always learning and growing. When she’s not studying or at band practice (a drum major at that!), she’s reading books and hanging out at home. We had a blast trying out smoke bombs, playing with […]

Not for me, but for the wonderful couple I got to photograph recently! The biggest congratulations to Danielle and Carter on the announcement of of their newest family member estimated to join them this September! I had so much fun with this shoot and incorporating Crossfit into their announcement. Thanks to Hutch at Crossfit Dexter […]
