You get the pretty skyline for some photos, the neutral painted concrete that allows your eyes to focus on your subjects and gorgeous light because the entire roof you are standing on is acting as […]

Lake Michigan is such a stunning place and I’m so lucky to be a photographer living near it! The setting is neutral and simple and always a favorite! I met up with this beautiful family on a warm summer evening to take photos but also to laugh and have a little fun. Preston and Scarlett […]

I just love this family session! Beach photos at Hoffmaster State Park are some of my favorites! I love the small dune area with grasses and trails plus the beautiful water nearby. What could be better?! What a beautiful family! Samantha’s dress from Joyfolie was my favorite! The way it moved in the wind made […]

Kenzie – you are gorgeous! (I […]

These family photos on Lake Michigan are some of my favorites! Before moving to another state, this gorgeous family and I were finally able to meet for family photos on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan with four days to spare. There was lots of sunshine, lots of giggles and super sandy toes. We had […]

We played, laughed, made it rain grass and flowers and created memories in the beautiful setting sun. Days like these make me love life even more. Oh sweet Maren, […]
