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 […]

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). […]

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 […]

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 […]

These three kiddos were such a joy to photograph.  They are adorable and photogenic!  Andrew enjoys soccer and Dakota and Cathren love to dance.  Here are just a few of the images from their session.      

Photographing a‬ fawn has been on my photography wish list for a long time. I have been able to catch one here and there, but never exactly like I wanted…until this spring.  

I had so much fun working with Chrissy & Paul!  They were two of the most easy going and fun people I have ever met.  They had an intimate ceremony at their home.  We all prayed for the rain to hold off, and it did—-at least until the ceremony was over.  

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Zack and his mother when they came to the studio for Zack’s senior session.  Zack plays football, baseball and basketball at Marion High School.  He wanted to incorporate his love for football into his session.  Here are a few of the images from that day.  Congratulations Zack!
