I met Mitch and Heather – high school sweethearts – when they contacted me for their engagement photos. Heather was attending Ferris State University and Mitch was working in Holland. They were so easy going and fun to work with. They will be getting married next month in Wisconsin, and I wish them both a […]

This family hadn’t had family photos in a long long time, so it was time to fix that. The session took place at their home in Hersey where we were able to include their bunny and the neat playhouse that Grandpa built with the help of his grandchildren. As with all of our family sessions, […]

When Dawn arrived at the studio for her modern beauty portrait session, she still wasn’t convinced that she really wanted to go through with it. She wasn’t sure exactly what to expect – which would make most women uneasy. She figured that she would hate most of her photos because she usually does, but at […]

I met Tracy several months ago at a Girls Night Out event. After the event, she contacted me to book the full makeover and portrait experience. Tracy told me that she isn’t usually a fan of having her portrait taken, but she decided to see what it was all about. Not only did she have […]

One of my favorite signs of Spring…DOGS! I absolutely love dogs, and I am looking forward to working with a lot of them this year. Despite the thoughts of many dog owners, a dog does not need to be perfectly obedient and extremely well trained in order for me to create some amazing photographs of […]

We spent the session letting children be children and captured the candid (and some posed) moments as they happened.

Peggy owns and operates a daycare with her daughter in Reed City, and she spends most of her time taking care of others. This photo shoot was a chance for her to be pampered and to take care of herself. She deserves it, and although she was hesitant about the makeover and photo shoot, she […]

I met Jessica at a girls night out event a few months ago, and I loved her bubbly personality immediately. When she later contacted me for a session, I knew it would be a great time. Her laugh is contagious, and we laughed a lot that day. Thanks for a great time Jessica. I enjoyed […]

Paradise Salon in Reed City hosted a special evening just for women. The “Girls Night Out” event offered women a chance to shop and experience the services offered by local vendors. The women received personalized Mary Kay makeup instruction by Nancy Brocker, hair touch up by Ann Ball Davis, nail polish/nail art by Amanda Jankowski, […]

I have photographed a few sessions at the Mitchell residence, but this year there were lots of new things to document. I photographed their newly built home that overlooks a gorgeous pond, complete with beach area and custom chairs designed and painted by Brandi (who I think resembles Martha Stewart – in a good way).
