Welcome Baby Thomas

I have just loved getting the chance to photograph this growing family over the years. They are the perfect example of why I love being a lifetime photographer. I first met them when they were expecting their oldest son, Henry- we photographed their maternity session, Henry’s newborn pictures, his birthdays, and then maternity pictures again […]

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 […]

Carter- Class of 2018

I love that Carter had his senior pictures taken during the colder months.  It makes the pictures so unique.  We also got crazy lucky with a relatively warm February day that made exploring the city bearable.  Carter was one of those seniors that you just feel spoiled to work with.  He had a ton of […]

We started the shoot out with Charlie in her pajamas, which if you think about it is really how every shoot should start.  She showed me all the ornaments on her Christmas tree and a few of the presents that had been wrapped early.  Watching little […]

Timmington Family

Oh goodness I love this family.  Last year the pastor at our church came to us and asked us if we would be interested in leading a small group with this couple. Our answer was immediately, yes! We have been so thankful for them over the past year.  Kim is one of the kindest friends, […]

Steve + Caiti

I promised myself last fall I would do more shoots during golden hour, the hour before the sun sets and the light is soft and the shadows are long.  There is something so magical about this time of day.  So first golden hour shoot of 2017- Steve and Caiti!  Michigan weather has been completely unpredictable […]

Baby Elias

This newborn shoot was so good for my heart.  I walked into Heather and Joe’s home and it was a photographers dream- beautifully decorated to reflect their family’s unique style. clutter free, natural light pouring in, and a bedroom with a big bed with white linens.  All of the good things.  Not to mention, it smelled […]
