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.

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.

Look at some of these highlights of Emersyn and her first birthday cake smash, at the Collective, our studio in downtown Howell.

Welcoming baby Crew was such a special session! I was thrilled when Nikki reached out to capture these precious moments. Not only did we celebrate the arrival of their sweet baby boy, but we also marked Cali’s second birthday with some fun photos of just her. To top it off, we got into the holiday spirit with festive shots in front of the tree, capturing family photos just in time for Crew’s first Christmas. Their cozy family home made for the perfect backdrop, filled with warmth and love.

If you ask me, he’s the definition of an all-American kid—hardworking and dedicated, with a passion for sports. This year, he’s juggling soccer, lacrosse, and even a season of football, giving his high school years everything he’s got.

Riley’s first photoshoot at the Collective was such a special reminder of the beautiful blessings life brings. Capturing this little pumpkin’s tiny features and sweet moments…

Ash’s senior session was pure magic! She wanted nature as the backdrop, and we found the perfect setting to match her vision. When she looked at the back of my camera and exclaimed, “I look like a little fairy!” I knew we had absolutely nailed the vibe.

Preston’s senior photos were all about standing out from the crowd! His mom wanted something different from his classmates, so we headed to downtown Detroit for a unique urban vibe. Preston absolutely rocked it—serious model potential here!

Colin’s senior photo session was an absolute blast…especially because we combined it with his longtime friend Luke’s session.

Luke’s senior photo session was so much fun, especially because we paired it with his longtime friend Colin. Each had their own set of photos, but bringing them together created an amazing energy that kept us all laughing—me and their moms included!
