Bailee gave her mom the sweetest gift—a family session at the Collective with her and her twin sisters. The girls showed up in soft pastels, and the natural light of the airy studio was the perfect backdrop for this stage of these women’s lives. It was such a beautiful way to celebrate their bond and freeze this moment in time.

The Standal family showed up to Genoa Park looking like they stepped right out of my style guide (if you have seen my style guide you would know, some of them actually did!)—dreamy neutrals, soft textures, and perfectly coordinated without being too matchy. It was a photographer’s dream, honestly. Three generations gathered on a beautiful May afternoon, and I was here for the vibe. You could feel how close they all are just by watching them laugh and play with the little ones between poses.

There’s nothing better than getting to photograph family—especially when it’s your own!!! I had the best time visiting my cousin in Sterling Heights for this joyful backyard session, celebrating her twin girls turning five! The girls were bursting with personality in their matching pink dresses, and that rainbow number 5 balloon didn’t stand a chance against all the fun we had.

There’s something so effortlessly sweet about capturing a young families—and that’s exactly why I love every chance I get to capture the Weathers Family. At the Collective, the girls were full of energy, big smiles, and just the right amount of chaos that makes photographing little ones so much fun. From the second they walked in, I knew we were going to have a blast.

There are sessions that just feel like happiness—and this one at Quarton Lake, in Birmingham, MI, with the Shea family was exactly that!!! From the second we met up on the path lined with budding trees, it felt like stepping into the perfect spring day. The sun was warm, the breeze was soft, and this trio showed up in the cutest coordinated red, white, and blue, ready to soak it all in.

There’s nothing better than showing up to a session and instantly knowing—these are my people. This was my very first time meeting Nick and Megan in person, and within seconds, I felt like I was hanging out with people who could end up my longtime friends.

Celebrating Novalee’s first birthday was nothing short of magical! We kicked off the session at the Collective with her in the sweetest St. Patrick’s Day outfit—a nod to her original due date.

Ethan and Sarocha’s engagement session was everything I could have hoped for and more! We explored the stunning Law Quad and Angel Hall, two iconic Ann Arbor locations that perfectly complemented their elegant style and undeniable chemistry. These two not only brought their A-game to the session, but they also followed the style guide to a tee, and it paid off beautifully—seriously, they looked amazing!

When Andrea reached out to me for a family session, I knew it would be something special. She was trying to schedule a session while one of her sons was home from boot camp for a short break and just before another son is preparing to leave for boot camp…
