Loving this family portrait photography session at Hoxie’s Apple Orchard in Traverse City Michigan!

Newborn baby portrait photography is one of my favorite photo sessions to capture, as the babies are absolutely adorable and I get 2-3 full hours of loving up on their soft cheeks and bright eyes! I am so excited to introduce the new baby Bauer, this adorable little guy who came to visit my photography […]

Liam’s senior portrait photography session is here, and I am so excited to brag, just a bit, about this amazing (and fellow ginger) senior in Traverse City, Michigan!

Trash the Dress photography sessions are some of my most favorite sessions to capture, as it allows us to down and dirty…literally! Check out Deidre and Stan’s photography session, complete with bridal dress, wedding tux…and lots of sand, water, and dirt! These guys were so much fun, willing to do anything I asked (the power!)

Meet the rocking and stellar GL volleyball team!!! Visiting the Sleeping Bear Dunes for a sports camp in Glen Arbor, Michigan, they were full of laughs, fun, and happiness as we played around on the beach, doing some fun poses for their sports photography session!

Baby Elizabeth is such a joy – truly a beautiful newborn that brought light and joy to her new family! Nestling her amongst the blooming sunflowers and hydrangeas in Traverse City Michigan was a joy, especially when those adorable little sneezes started occurring! So much love and joy to you all!

Keefer’s senior portraits in Glen Arbor Michigan was a lovely honor and privilege to photograph, and not just because we were roomies, but because I have watched him grow into a happy, joy-filled man (and quite the entrepreneur) and couldn’t be more excited to see where his endeavors take him! Starting out on the end […]

A family vacation in northern Michigan is one of my favorite times for family portrait photography – families come together from far away, and they love every minute together!
