Old Town Lansing has become a favorite location for me over the years, both as an urban area with a ton of quick variety for mini sessions and as a place to go with my family. Zelda and I have been going to a music class with Melissa Sigh’s School of Music every Friday in Old Town for almost a year now, and we often find ourselves at various classes at Mother and Earth.

I kept catching lucky breaks with weather in November—this session took us all the way to mid-November, but you’d never know looking at the Jordan and Kourtnee. These two are naturals in front of the camera.

It’s always fun to watch MSU’s campus transform across the seasons (especially now that I’m out of college, and I no longer have to trudge a mile across campus in the snow for an 8:00 AM ISS class). I have to admit that I was originally a little nervous about scheduling Danielle and Cory’s engagement session in November—I didn’t know if we’d have any color left, and I imagined us all shivering away as we walked together around campus. But the weather stayed mild for us, and Danielle was amazing at pretending that it was about 30 degrees warmer than it actually was in her sleeveless purple dress (many props to you, Danielle).
