My photography style is informal and un-posed, meaning I don't use props and I don't ask your child to say "cheese." Instead, I capture their natural smiles and playful movements. Families who work with me prefer nontraditional photos and are willing to embrace the "in the moment". During your session, you will have some serious TLC family time so I can capture candid moments that reflect your love and connection. I will take a few posed shots, though my style is more spontaneous and fun. With my images, I will tell a story that illustrates your moments as a family together, the love between a mother and her newborn baby, parents bonding with their children, and kids just being kids. You know, the little things that you never want to forget.
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
– Aaron Siskind

I typically book about 2-4 months ahead and take my time getting to know your family. Winter months are slow, and I start to fill up my spring and summer availability as early as March. To book a fall session, mid to late summer is the best time to contact me. My sessions are on a first come, first served basis and there is a $150 booking fee to reserve a date. Sorry, I do not book last minute sessions.
Because I like to get to know my clients, I offer mini sessions only after we have already had a session together. It's just too hard to relax and have a natural session in 30 minutes. I understand the desire for some posed photos, so I do offer seasonal mini sessions to both first time and returning clients. Make sure to follow my facebook and instagram pages for updates as the spots are limited and fill up fast!
As an on-location photographer, we hope for beautiful sunny days. If it happens to rain on your outdoor session date, we can reschedule for the next mutually convenient day. Michigan weather can be forgiving so I prefer to wait until the last minute to reschedule. If we have a in-home session scheduled, I do not reschedule on rainy days unless its very dark, then we will choose another day.
No worries there, I have you covered! I offer a complimentary styling platform that will help you put together the perfect wardrobe for your family.
Approximately 3 weeks after your session, I will send you an email with a password protected link to view and download your private online gallery. After viewing & downloading your gallery, you will be able to share your images with family and friends, and print your images as you wish.
If you did, thats ok! We have plenty of time to talk and to get to know each other. If you have ANY questions, feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
