Sully is One! | Cake Smash Photos
I cannot believe how big Sully has grown since the last time I saw him! It has been a minute since I’ve spent time with him, this year truly has gone fast because he is already turning one! This was the perfect time to celebrate with a cake just for him. A cake smash photo session is always a fun thing to watch when a one year old can get their hands on the cake and although Sully took a minute to warm up, he ended up getting the idea! Here are a few of my favorites from Sully’s one year cake smash photo session!

The Visser Family | Portland, MI Family Photos
I was really looking forward to meeting the Visser family for their photo session.

I am so happy that I was able to give this to them, they truly are a wonderful family and deserve these beautiful memories. Here are a few of my favorites from my time with them.

Winslow | Portland, MI Family Photographer
I got to meet up with the two cutest sisters for their photo session the other day. These photos were all taken at their grandmothers home in a small room in their basement, it’s amazing the space you can find for photos at your own home! The size of the room didn’t matter though, because these two definitely found a way to keep several adults occupied during their photo session! They were so busy moving around that each opportunity for a photo was fleeting, I had so much fun watching them play around and getting these photos for their family. Here are a few of my favorites!

The Smith Family | Lansing, MI Family Photography
I was so thrilled when this family reached out to me and told me their story. This home has been in the family for 50 years and it is now for sale. Before the sale of the home, they wanted to make sure to get generational photos, what a GREAT idea! I loved every second I had with this family, they were up for anything. Most of all, I enjoyed hearing them reminisce about the many stories they had in this home. It all sounded perfect. Here are a few of my favorite photos from my time with them.

Gerrit's Business Headshots | Portland, Michigan
Gerrit works for a PR firm that is located throughout the United States. Like many people, he works remotely but still needs that extra oomph for his business headshot. I was so excited when he told me that he didn’t want the traditional headshot, but instead wanted to use Portland as his location choice and backdrop to do more of a business casual. Headshot sessions are not typically long as they tend to last only about 15 minutes. During this time, we move fast, get great headshots and lots of options in a short amount of time. In the 15 minutes I was with Gerrit, he is getting over 40 headshot images to choose from! We joked that he could make a calendar to gift to his colleagues for the holidays because he will have lots of material to choose from! Here are a few of my favorites from my time with him.
Thank you, Gerrit for choosing me to help up your business game with headshots! If you are interested in what Gerrit and his PR company is up to, click here.

The Watson Family | Portland, MI Family Photography
I was so thrilled when the Watson Family contacted me to do their family photos because it was definitely time for me to come out of hibernation! Michigan had just gotten more than a foot of snow the last few weeks, so when the Watson’s scheduled their session, they thought we would be hopping through snow drifts for their family photos. Michigan weather had a different idea in mind and on the day of their session it was almost 5o degrees! Luckily we still got photos with some of the beautiful snow before it melted. Here are a few of my favorites from their session!
Thank you to the Watson Family for joining me for family photos, I had so much fun!

Bath Township Public Library | Business Headshots
Each year, I have been invited to photograph the staff at the Bath Township Public Library. It is so important for a business to provide their staff with professional headshots because it levels up the business website, looks excellent on business cards (and other materials) and helps the business maintain a professional appearance. Another perk of business headshots is that the staff is able to receive an updated photo of themselves that they can use in their own professional capacity such as on LinkedIn profiles, resumes and more. I am so thrilled to share the excellent staff at the Bath Township Public Library!

Abbie & Kevin | Old Town Lansing Couple Photos
I absolutely loved every second of this session! Abbie contacted me to reserve this session saying that she wanted to have a nice time with her husband that was fun while capturing photos of the two of them. These two lovebirds have two kids at home and like many others, it is so difficult for couples to remember to take photos together. I am so incredibly glad that Abbie and Kevin took the time to celebrate their Valentine weekend with me tagging along! I think we had just as much fun as Abbie had hoped because the laughter did not stop! Here are a few of my favorites:

Reece Turns One! | Westphalia, Michigan Photography
I cannot believe Reece is already turning one! I first met him for his 6 month photos this past summer and he is already preparing for his 1st birthday, time flies! His family invited me to their home for his one year photos which was absolutely perfect. I enjoyed watching Reece interact in the surroundings he is most comfortable in and show me all his cool toys! This was the absolute perfect way to capture Reece’s personality and interests at this stage in his life. Here are a few favorites from his session!
Thank you so much to Reece’s family for inviting me to your home!

Josephine Turns Four | Lake Odessa, Michigan Photographer
I was so thrilled to photograph Jo for her fourth birthday, she came with ideas and all sorts of cuteness! Of course, we ended up choosing a rainy November day for her photos, but that didn’t stop us from having fun and playing around in her back yard. She told me all about her favorite Disney Characters (Elsa and Olaf), introduced me to her dogs and had a lot of fun with balloons! Between the giggles, the running around and bouncing, Jo’s photos really capture her personality and I love that I was able to help capture them for her. Here are a few of my favorites from her session!
Happiest of Birthdays Jo!

Jacob | Fowler, Michigan Senior Photos
Jacob is one of those silent types who will speak up just enough to tell you he doesn’t necessarily care for his photo to be taken and that he would much rather be spending time on the farm! He is not alone, so many young men are very similar and prefer a quick session (or just enough to make their mom happy)! So with that said, Jacob and I had a photo session that was the perfect combination of quick yet long enough to get some amazing images for his senior year. I think these will definitely be “mom approved.” Here a few of my favorites from Jacob’s senior session!
Thank you, Jacob, for inviting me to take your senior pictures!
