Dorothy is five months old and starting to roll, taste food, and sleep longer stretches! For the first few times this month she went to bed before 8:00pm which was incredible! She is a little night owl though and would much prefer to sleep through the morning festivities if it means she can hangout with […]
Extended family sessions have such a beautiful rhythm—there’s the joy of gathering everyone together for a full group shot, and then the magic of stepping back and catching the little stories unfolding between the lines: cousins playing, grandparents holding hands, toddlers eating snacks and cuddling with their parents.
A few years ago, I had the joy of photographing Hannah and Sam’s wedding—and last month, I got to step into a whole new chapter of their story: welcoming their baby boy with an in-home newborn session in Howell, Michigan. The whole session was sweet, simple, and full of heart. We photographed everything right in […]
I’m a few days away from taking Miss Dottie’s five month photos but wanted to post some of her four month ones while she is still four months old! This phase has been super fun and interactive and also wildly BUSY! We came out of the newborn haze and into a full blown summer complete […]

It was everything I adore about photographing couples here in Michigan: a little bit unpredictable, a little bit wild, and absolutely, completely unforgettable.
Taking monthly photos of my kids is a lot of work but such a treasure and a delight for me! Every night I look at the collage on our wall of Felix’s first year and the monthly photos that I hung outside his door. While he might not like being in the photo much these […]
It was a whirlwind of a first month with sweet Dorothy and it is so bittersweet to be working through her one month photos already. Xav is back to work this week and while I am sad to be leaving the slow family days, I am so immensely thankful for the break he had and […]
I’ve been slowly taking and editing Dottie’s newborn photos but now that she is two weeks old, I decided to wrap up the editing and make her newborn photo blog post. The fam has put up with a lot of photos over the last two weeks and I’m thankful that they oblige me so I […]
