I’m finding more and more that simple, wholesome connection is really all that I seek in my clients and I think that a lot of couples seek the same thing in a photographer, even if they don’t even know it. When you can have a conversation with someone and feel like you’ve known them forever - whether it’s that you have the same sense of style or you share a love of art and nature - it makes all of the other details come together. I had a conversation last night with a potential wedding client and it was seriously fantastic. So whether or not, after our phone call, they book me, I hope they are left with a sense of pure connection. It’s all that any one of us ever really needs. . . . @heather_stern_photography - real moments, real you. . . . #heathersternphotography #michiganphotography #puremichigan #instagoodportraitlove #justgoshoot #exploretocreate #peoplescreatives #visualsoflife #artofvisuals #life_portraits #portraitmood @nikonusa #portraitpage #theportraitpr0ject #pursuitofportraits #ofhumans #instagood #michiganphotographer #michiganweddingphotographer #michiganweddingphotography #michiganweddings #weddingphotographer #newbornphotography #childphotography #familyphotography #embrace_presets

So I wrote a blog post with the intention of showing off all of the ways that you can make your wedding super unique, but all I came up with was food so if that is any indication of the type of person I am, then you're welcome. Also - when your bridal party offers to get me an ice cream cone from your ice cream truck, it makes me feel like a princess. . . . @heather_stern_photography - simple, intimate, timeless. . . . #heathersternphotography #michiganphotography #puremichigan #instagoodportraitlove #justgoshoot #exploretocreate #peoplescreatives #visualsoflife #artofvisuals #life_portraits #portraitmood @nikonusa #portraitpage #theportraitpr0ject #pursuitofportraits #ofhumans #instagood #michiganphotographer #michiganweddingphotographer #michiganweddingphotography #michiganweddings #weddingphotographer #newbornphotography #childphotography #familyphotography #embrace_presets

Brrr...snuggle in on these chilly days! Have I told you guys how much I love a chunky sweater? Well, I do. I love it even more when you wear them for your photos and look so comfy/cozy/cute! Give me all of your snuggly sweater weather canoodles 🥰 . . . @heather_stern_photography - simple, intimate, timeless. . . . #heathersternphotography #michiganphotography #puremichigan #instagoodportraitlove #justgoshoot #exploretocreate #peoplescreatives #visualsoflife #artofvisuals #life_portraits #portraitmood @nikonusa #portraitpage #theportraitpr0ject #pursuitofportraits #ofhumans #instagood #michiganphotographer #michiganweddingphotographer #michiganweddingphotography #michiganweddings #weddingphotographer #newbornphotography #childphotography #familyphotography #embrace_presets

To all of my couples - past, present and future - remember that Valentines Day isn’t just hearts and roses. It’s a day to remember to take the time to appreciate the one you call your love. Just another day, but with a built in reminder to take some extra time to care. Oh, it’s also about chocolate. Yep, definitely all the chocolate. 🍫 . . . @heather_stern_photography - simple, intimate, timeless. . . . #heathersternphotography #michiganphotography #puremichigan #instagoodportraitlove #justgoshoot #exploretocreate #peoplescreatives #visualsoflife #artofvisuals #life_portraits #portraitmood @nikonusa #portraitpage #theportraitpr0ject #pursuitofportraits #ofhumans #instagood #michiganphotographer #michiganweddingphotographer #michiganweddingphotography #michiganweddings #weddingphotographer #newbornphotography #childphotography #familyphotography #embrace_presets

For a lot of people, myself included, the family photos can be one of the most stressful moments of the wedding day. There’s a lot of people to organize and a little bit of time to get these very important photos done. I always suggest that the bride and groom choose two people from their wedding party to be in charge of helping corral the family. During my own planning, I include a list of the order that family photos are going to go in. Sometimes it changes a bit as we go, but having that base list is a lifesaver. As in, we are typically in and out of those family photos in 15-20 minutes. Whew! I’d love to see more options for family photos too! This couch has been one of my favorite set ups thus far. Don’t they look straight out of Vogue? . . . @heather_stern_photography - simple, intimate, timeless. . . . #heathersternphotography #michiganphotography #puremichigan #instagoodportraitlove #justgoshoot #exploretocreate #peoplescreatives #visualsoflife #artofvisuals #life_portraits #portraitmood @nikonusa #portraitpage #theportraitpr0ject #pursuitofportraits #ofhumans #instagood #michiganphotographer #michiganweddingphotographer #michiganweddingphotography #michiganweddings #weddingphotographer #newbornphotography #childphotography #familyphotography #embrace_presets

Let’s keep walking. Sometimes that’s what we need to do during your wedding day, in the midst of the craziness, when you’re just wanting to sip your first drink and eat some dang food. Let’s walk. These few minutes give you and your significant other time to breathe in and breathe out. Time to loosen up for a minute. Time to be a little less hangry because you’re not surrounded by a loud, also hangry, bridal party. So let’s keep walking. You won’t regret it. . . . @heather_stern_photography - simple, intimate, timeless. . . . #heathersternphotography #michiganphotography #puremichigan #instagoodportraitlove #justgoshoot #exploretocreate #peoplescreatives #visualsoflife #artofvisuals #life_portraits #portraitmood @nikonusa #portraitpage #theportraitpr0ject #pursuitofportraits #ofhumans #instagood #michiganphotographer #michiganweddingphotographer #michiganweddingphotography #michiganweddings #weddingphotographer #newbornphotography #childphotography #familyphotography #embrace_presets
