My sister, my teacher, my protector. I was honored to be her maid of honor at the ripe age of 17, and even more honored to have her by my side on our special day. From hating each other growing up to now being closer than ever, I couldn't be more thankful to have such a fierce, deeply loving, down to Earth sissy.

Heather is technically my cousin but truly my second sister. She became my confidant growing up and still is to this day. Brandon & I adore heading down to visit in NC and spending time with all three of her & Elliott's kiddos. Heather is one of the easiest people to be yourself around, and for her I am truly grateful.

Haley and I met in 2nd grade cheerleading for St.Anne Catholic School. We became fast friends as the two tall, blonde, freckly girls that towered over everyone else in our grade. Haley is currently working as a nurse on the neuro ICU floor at Beaumont, but is still a signed model who has done runway, been featured on the news, and has worked with some of Detroit's best photographers.

Bianca and I met in 6th grade, but became super close in high school. She is one the smartest, most dedicated and fiercely loyal people I have ever met. My future DOCTOR bestie is a true gift to the world with a heart of pure gold. I don't know what I would do or who I would be without her. Brandon and I love our Three Muskateers nights on the town and dancing the night away as a unit!

My fellow smut reading, Detroit loving bestie, I couldn't be more thankful for this insanely talented, hilarious, outgoing woman. Jess & I were introduced through a mutual friend a few years back and met at a quick photoshoot at Cranbrook. Even though we have only been friends a few years, it genuinely feels like I have known her for a lifetime. Oh and if you are in MI and need the most amazing photographer? She's your gal!

The true life of the party, there's a reason her nickname is Ella Fun!!! Ella and I met in high school and clicked instantly. She was always someone I could call for a good time or spontaneous adventure. Now you're more likely to find her at a yoga studio or hanging with her niece and nephew, but always a good time to be had. My passionate, outspoken, force of nature; life is better with you in it.

One of the sweetest, most genuine people you will ever meet. Hannah & I met while waitressing at Comet Burger as 19 year olds. We became closer in recent years bonding over our love of Ella, shared Detroit modeling experiences, good books, and alternative/folk music. Han is currently finishing her Master's Degree and teaches 9th grade English. I am confident she will impact the lives of many while teaching, and those future generations will be so lucky to have her.
