there’s this thing that a lot of photographers know… shooting other photogs rules!! and this is no exception with jen van dam and her beautiful family.

we first got to know jen through our blog, then a bunch of emails talking shop, then facebook …. and now finally in person! and we were scheduled to shoot them in april, but then the arctic decided to visit michigan, you know, just for fun…and we decided to reschedule for a day when you could actually feel the sun!! so june 5th comes, they drive over from detroit for a saturday evening shoot… and once again in true michigan form, the rain clouds come in. and not just rain. but thunder and lightning. and lots of it. nice!!

seriously michigan. we just want to shoot this one session

but no worries folks. all is well. they spent the night with family and we shot em sunday morning (don’t tell our pastor!).

jen…sooo great finally meeting you and your family!!
now here’s a few of our faves.
