What a great year it was!! Thanks to all of my fabulous clients in 2017 – ones that were new to me and especially the ones that come back year after year. It is a privilege for me to capture the love and connection of your families – there is nothing I’d rather be doing! […]

I get this question all of the time. And while I can’t answer that question for your family – I can provide some advice, opinions and some things to think about. First, I would say it’s important to decide if you want your session indoors or outdoors. For this blog post, I will focus on […]

I’ve been doing some much needed image updating on my website (check out my progress HERE) and came across these little sweeties. Being a Michigan State grad, I couldn’t resist taking this photo! Go Sparty!!
