Northern Michigan Family Portraits, Poroposals & Engagement Sessions

Capture your story in the landscapes you love most.

While weddings are my primary focus, family sessions hold a special place in my heart.


We'll start with the photos you know you'll want framed on the wall—the full family portraits, grandparents with the grandkids, sibling photos, and all the important combinations. Once those are finished, we'll leave room for connection, movement, and the little moments that make your family unique.


My goal is to create beautiful photographs while making the experience feel easy for everyone involved. Coming from a big family and with a background working with young children, I'm comfortable managing busy family dynamics, shy toddlers, energetic kids, and everything in between.


The best family photos happen when everyone feels relaxed, and I'll guide the session in a way that keeps things moving while allowing genuine moments to unfold naturally.
