Month twelve was full of discovery for our little man. He discovered climbing on the couch, knocking over baby gates, and opening kitchen cupboards. He continues to want to figure out how things work. Birthday week was a whirlwind with a trip to the zoo and a party with family coming right before shooting a […]
I knew my business would go through a transition phase when we decided to move and have a baby at the same time… I never expected that it would end up being one of our busiest photo seasons yet! Not only have we shot more weddings and family sessions than our original goal, but we […]
I’ve known Ellie for her whole life! When Ellie was a baby, her parents lived next to my family. It was so fun to have friends as neighbors and I can’t believe she is all grown up and getting married!! Watching her fall in love with Joe has been absolutely fantastic. We got to know […]
In the last month, Felix has gone from 4 to 8 teeth, from crawling to standing up, and from being a baby to thinking he is a big boy. This boy doesn’t have time for monthly photos anymore… he has places to go! I feel like he is changing so fast I can almost see […]
I met Kirsten in 2019 when she stood in her sister, Erin’s, wedding at Greencrest Manor. I was so excited when I heard from Kirsten that she was getting married and wanted me to capture her wedding also! Connor and Kirsten (similar to Evan and Erin) are both super laid back and they were so […]
I’ve known Andrea for several years, in fact, her parents work at the camp where Xavier and I met (scroll to the very end to see a major throwback from 10 years ago of when I went tubing at camp with Andrea and some friends). Xavier and I also got to capture Andrea’s sister’s wedding […]
Ben and Megan have been such dear “clients turned friends” over the years. From their engagement to their wedding, maternity, and Christmas sessions to this amazing family shoot the other night in perfect glowing evening light, I can’t explain how thankful I am for these people! Everything about this session was filled with sweetness and […]
Someone asked me on Saturday what my favorite part is about being a mom. I keep thinking about it because I feel like I have so many answers! I love the bond we share with Felix, how he recognizes us with a sweet little grin or reaches for us when he needs comfort. I love […]
When we met the Rodriguez’s, Xav and Kyle quickly discovered that they shared a love of complicated board games. Ashley and I bonded over Jane Austen and thrifting and our boys both agreed that sleeping during game night was not about to happen! I’m so thankful for the way Kyle and Ashley have become our […]
When I started photographing families in Lansing, MI over a decade ago, I would drive around and scout locations all the time. I’d wander around a field or a park and check out the places that I would want to use. As I photographed more and more families, I started to find my favorite locations […]
