If you know them, you know just how special they are! I’ve known this family for years, and was so excited when Karen reached out to schedule an extended family photo session.  Since her son’s family was going to be visiting Michigan from North Carolina for a few days, we had a small window of […]

Adeline’s senior session was so much fun! It started with hair and makeup styling at the studio before the shoot. It was the first time that a high school senior wanted to include a snake as a prop in their photos. At first, I wasn’t sure what to think. In the end, it was no […]

With some of the family members visiting from Florida, the Canaan family was able to get together for an extended family photo shoot. I had photographed most of the members previously, but I was able to meet some new faces this time around. The children had so much fun visiting with their cousins that it […]

Hailey’s senior session took place on a windy, chilly Fall day. Despite the weather, we took advantage of the beautiful Fall colors at each location we visited. Hailey is such a fun and bubbly girl with a great personality. As I edited her photos, I couldn’t help but notice over and over the resemblance I […]

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 […]

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.
