A couple weeks ago, I met up with the Hipsher family at a park for some fun family pics!  I went to high school with Mary and while it was great to see her again, it was even better to see how she’s doing and her gorgeous family.  It was pretty much the hottest day ever and while we were close to melting, we made it through and were able to capture some great images.  I truly had a blast photographing the little ones and hope we can meet up again, so we can have even more fun.  Thank you Josh and Mary for having me capture your family and I can’t wait to see the one on the way 🙂  Enjoy your pics!

  • Melissa - This photo is stunning!

  • Mom - Dustin-sometimes it’s hard to find words to describe your work… awesome, inspiring, heartfelt, gorgeous, passionate, beautiful, stunning, other-worldly…

Abby, Steve, and I met up in Northville at the ever popular Mill Race for some pics.  It was perfect weather and was so nice to not have to walk forever to find some great places to shoot.  Right from the start they were pretty comfortable in front of the camera, which always makes it easier for me 🙂  I will be photographing Abby and Steve’s wedding this Saturday, so come back now ya hear!

It took a little work, but we got by the water…

  • Abby - I love them Dustin 🙂

I met up with Brooke and Brian at Bookie’s dowtown Detroit, where Brian DJ’s regularly.  From there we went down to the riverwalk to grab a few shots.  It was only a few days before their wedding and the weather was looking rather dull, but as I said to Brooke, “better now then on your wedding day.”  I had a fun time with the two of them and was so happy to see them be able to warm up to the camera so quickly.  One thing for sure…there were plenty of smiles and laughing going on 🙂  Here are a few pics!
