Southeast Michigan Destination Wedding Photographer

I can't believe I didn't share a few images from a wedding Lisa Adams (www.lisaadamsphoto.com) and I did last summer. We had the pleasure of photographing Laurel and Alex on their special day in Ohio. What a beautiful setting on the shores of Lake Erie. All day the weather was a bit ominous. We were thinking of "Plan B" all day and wondering how it was all going to work. But sure enough, just before the ceremony was due to start, the skies cleared, the rain stopped and we had a gorgeous evening for an outdoor lake side wedding. Laurel was beautiful and Alex dashing in their finery. The family was terrific and the wedding party was a lot of fun. I always enjoy photographing new venues and was so happy we had a chance to work there. Just beautiful

Is it Winter Yet?

You know during the spring and summer senior seasons, I often have to work around Mother Nature. Sometimes it will rain so hard that we can't do an outdoor session or the heat and humidity are too high to go on location (I mean who likes humidity frizz, am I right?). I never thought that She would best me even in the winter months. Here in Michigan, there has always been one thing you can be sure of... yes, that dreaded white stuff, the awful four letter word that starts with "s".. S.N.O.W. Except for this year. Of course I have a few clients who specifically waited to schedule their location sessions so that we could include some snow images. Here we are, the end of January and hardly a flake to be found! We've had a few days where the snow has been here, for all of an hour then melted away. We actually have a dusting on the ground out there today but it's going to melt before my schedule is free. Sigh... Mother Nature, you win again.

Well, to get me in the winter mood at least, I've been taking a look some images of Rob from his studio session. Rob is a Class of 2012 Senior Model for our studio. I photographed his brother (Class of 2011) and just love their family. Super nice guys, terrific parents and just a joy to work with all the way around. Rob came into the studio back in the fall and he is one of those "winter" clients. Can't wait to get out to the rink and finish up his session. In the meantime, here's a few of his studio hockey images.

Sweet Sweet Baby!

I always love when we have the opportunity to photograph little ones. Introducing baby Ean. Isn't he just too sweet? Ean, his Mommy, and Oma came into the studio last week for a session. I should probably mention that his Oma and I are cousins...so I think that makes us third cousins? This is my cousin's first grand baby and I was so happy to have a chance to meet and photograph him. This time goes by so fast and they change so quickly. Ean was a bit old for  typical newborn session and he so didn't want to stay put. He is quite the character and makes just the sweetest baby noises. It's always so nice to get my fix when we have a baby in the studiod.

Senior Photographer - Michigan

You may know that I have three beautiful daughters. My oldest is officially a senior for the second time! That's right, a college senior. Soon she will be graduating from Western Michigan University. I can't believe that her four years away from home are almost done. I clearly remember the emotions of the day she moved  onto campus. I clearly remember my denial for the months leading up to that big day. I also remember how grateful I was for technology that enabled us to keep in touch so easily. I found that while I missed her like crazy, we still had our special chats, we could still share the highlights and the low times of our days and even though she wasn't physically here, we were still connected.

Over the last four years she's made Kzoo her second home and surrounded herself with another family. It was my pleasure to go to Kzoo last weekend and help her and her second family by photographing them for their upcoming senior show. If you happen to be in Kalamazoo anytime from February 6 through the 25th, stop by the studio in the Korman Center and check out their work. What a talented group of young women.

Ladies, I wish you much success as you wind down your college life! I thank you for taking good care of my baby! Best of Luck to you all.

Introducing Garrett - Beth Eggert Photography Class of 2013

Senior Model

 Meet Garrett! Garret is a Junior at LCN and happens to be one of my neighbors. It's so strange to see him all grown up since I first met him four and a half years ago when we moved into this neighborhood. I think that would've made him like 12 and in seventh grade. Garrett follows Hockey, Baseball and is a big NASCAR fan. He has a crazy dog named Zoey who thinks she is an alarm clock and likes to wake Garrett up early, even on the weekends! Garret likes to hang out with his friends, likes the band Daughtry (so do I!!!!) Something funny about Garrett, he says he always try to have "swag" but it isn't always working for him. Three words to describe Garrett are funny, outgoing, and smiley. Garret hopes to attend Western Michigan after graduation (Go Broncos!)

Meet Hunter. Hunter is a junior at LCN and found our studio through some mutual friends. She has been a pleasure to work with.

Hunter also is a member of the National Honor Society and Mu Alpha Thetha (Math club!)

Hunter's favorite band is Perry (again, another one I don't know...sigh, old age has definately set in). She dances in her spare time and has three dogs. Something you may not know about Hunter is that she likes to take pictures of random stuff. Three words to best describe Hunter would be Princess (ha), smart, and caring. Thanks for joining our team Hunter!

Meet Vic! Vic and I have actually worked together before. She is a member of the LCN Varsity Soccer team and every year I make a point of heading over to the school to do a fun photo shoot for the team.

Vic not only plays for school but plays for Vardar Soccer as well. She's a member of NHS and Mu Alpha Theta.

Vic 's favorite band is Drake (back to feeling old again!) and she likes to hang out with her friends. She has two dogs. Something funny about Vic, she thinks she's a prom queen and she hates makeup. Three words to describe her; funny, athletic, and smart. Thanks Vic for joining our team, too.

Introducing Tyler - Class of 2013 Beth Eggert Photography 

Senior Model

Meet Tyler. Tyler is a junior at LCN and we met through mutual friends/clients. The Peltier's (both of whom I've done senior portraits for) referred Tyler to me and I'm so glad they did. Tyler is a great guy, he plays hockey on a travel team (you can see, has a bit of the hockey hair goin' on - love it!). Believe it or not, his favorite band isn't a band at all but a female artist, Carrie Underwood. In his spare time Tyler likes to tweet and he DJ's (well that sounds like fun!). Here's a little funny about Tyler you may not know, he likes to shop, especially  for shoes and hats!

Three words that best describe Tyler would be funny, charming and sarcastic. Tyler plans on attending either Lake Superior State or Denver University. Welcome Tyler, it's great to have you on the team.
