Matt + Sarah

An adorable puppy, changing seasons, a new house and the cutest little downtown to call home! I just love getting to capture sweet couples totally in their element, with the things that make them uniquely who they are! Sarah is so kind and greeted me at our session with a personalized Caryn Ashley Photography editing […]

Jakubek Family

These pictures are from one of my mini session days when we got lucky enough to have SNOW! I just love the way snowy pictures turn out, even if it means everyone leaves with a red nose, numb toes, and begging for a hot chocolate/ coffee stop on the way home. This sweet family attends […]

Mikayla- Class of 2019

I am going to be catching up on summer blog posts all fall and then I will be catching up on fall blog posts all winter. I am just accepting that being slightly behind is part of my life now, and if that means more Leland snuggles and lazy mornings as a family I am […]

That Wellthy Life

I just love being able to support other entrepreneurs. It isn’t always the easiest career path, but I feel so strongly that it is worth it. Mary Beth is a certified holistic health coach and runs her own business, That Wellthy Life. Be sure to check out her website here. Her blog has so many […]

Miller Family

These are certainly 5 of my very favorite people- my brother Scott, his wife Katie and their outrageously adorable little ones. Ted and I are so lucky to live close to family, and over the past years we have spent so much time being an aunt and uncle before being a mom and dad.  These […]

Combs Family

I know fall is here, but I just had to share this summer shoot! We had to reschedule this session a few times because of rain, and then on the morning of our session it was 90 degrees by 9:00am! Thankfully the Combs family had picked the perfect location for a hot, session- the lake! We […]

David + Marissa

I had so much fun spending the evening in Detroit with David and Marissa for their engagement session.  We met for coffee a few months back and hit it off immediately.  They are fun loving, caring and totally in love- my kind of couple! I loved spending more time with them and getting to heat […]

Our Maternity Photos + Taking a Break

I know I keep saying it, but can someone please pinch me! After all of the maternity pictures I have captured over the past 5 years, I cannot believe that I am sharing our own bump photo shoot! We captured these pictures in Birmingham at Quarton Lake, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite […]

Matt + Liz

I met Liz for coffee a few months back to chat about her and Matt’s winter 2018 wedding. The moment we sat down at our little, local coffee shop I knew she and I would become quick friends. The conversation was natural and easy- as we chatted about life, wedding planning and travel.  I was so […]

Baby Douglas

Baby Doug was so great for his session.  I had to keep reminding his mom and dad, ‘just so you know it doesn’t typically go like this.’  I typically spend a lot of time during newborn sessions just cuddling and swaying newborns, waiting for them to fall into a deep sleep.  Doug was sleepy and […]
