Riley- Class of 2018

If we haven’t had a shoot together, let me explain to you how each session starts. We meet one another, typically for the first time actually meeting in person, and then we spend a few minutes getting to know each other. From there I let clients know what they can expect from the session. I […]
Dan + Amanda

When I moved to Albion College to say I was terrified would be an understatement. I loved being at home. I wasn’t one of those high school seniors that was counting down the days till I obtained my freedom and moved out forever. No, my parents pretty much took me against my will to college. […]
Eldridge Family

I had a chance to meet these two little guys last summer when they were in town visiting, and we did a big cousin picture for their grandparents. In all of the chaos that comes along with cousin pictures, I didn’t really get to spend much one on one time with these two little guys. […]
Kelly + Loren Maternity

This session was such a dream. I took a chance on a new location (Maybury Park) and asked Kelly and Loren to come as early as they could so we could catch the morning light. The sun was just perfect, there was no one else at the park, and when Kelly got out of the car […]
Faley Family

The Faleys are one of those amazing families that allowed me to start capturing their family’s memories years ago, before I had a website or a business e-mail address. They believed and supported my business when I was working full time in marketing and squeezing in shoots after working my 8 hour days and on […]
Senior Spokesmodel

I am so excited for this announcement! I started chatting with my niece, who is a sophomore in high school, about helping me out part time with my business this summer. One thing led to another and we started chatting about starting a senior spokesmodel program– and the rest is history! I am always excited […]
Baby Colin

Welcome to the family Colin Richard! This family was waiting to be surprised to see if they would be adding another brother or a sister to the family, and Colin made 3 boys! Whoa! Kyle is my older brother, and he grew up with 2 boys directly above him in our family, so I have […]
Henry turns 1

A while ago I wrote a blog post about why I chose to be a lifetime photographer and why I think finding a lifetime photographer is important for your family. If you missed it you can check it out here. This family right here is a perfect reason why I love getting the chance to […]
Miller Maternity

Well I figured I better go ahead and get these photographs blogged since today I shot the newborn pictures for the babe inside that beautiful belly! (Side note: Hello time, if you could just slow down a little bit that would be wonderful!) These two little dudes couldn’t wait to meet their little sibling when […]
What should I bring to my family shoot?

I don’t typically address this topic with clients, but as I started thinking about it, it is so important. What do you need to carry with you during your photoshoot? We typically wander pretty far away from our cars, so we only have what we are carrying with us. How frustrating to be carrying around […]
