The Miller family has grown since the last time I photographed them. Their family now includes a beautiful baby girl, in addition to their three handsome – and very active – little boys. 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 […]

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). […]

The Roberts family was one of my very first photography clients. I started working with them about five years ago for Lauren’s one year session. This year we updated their family photos. These children always make me laugh, and it has been amazing to watch them grow up into such wonderful little people. I’d say […]

I met Dawn a few years ago while I was photographing puppy school graduates.  Shortly after we met, I had the privilege of photographing her daughter Jennifer for her senior photos.  Then a few months ago, Dawn contacted me to request some very special portraits.  This year Dawn and her husband, Doug, celebrated their 30th wedding […]

It had been quite awhile since Traci and her husband, Chad, had been photographed together or as a family with their two children.  Therefore, we made it all happen!  It was a beautiful but cool day, so we alternated between shooting in the studio and shooting outside to allow time to warm up.  The session was […]

I photographed these two families about two years ago, so I was excited to be able to photograph them again this Fall.  It was a gorgeous day in a beautiful location with a great bunch of people.  This time they included their dog in the session – a very well behaved dog might I add.  For […]

Mike and Christa wanted to update their family photos.  Like many families, they wanted their photos to include the gorgeous Fall colors we enjoy here in Michigan.  This was my favorite – and one of the first – images from the session.  They also chose this image for a large canvas for their home. After photographing […]

On a warm and sunny Fall day, I met the Schmidt family.  Mike and Laurie have a cottage on a local lake and enjoy spending much of their summer there.  It was only right that we take their photos at that very location.  It was a beautiful day, and the Fall colors were absolutely amazing!  Mike and Laurie’s boys, […]
