The Parsons Family | Portland, Michigan Family Photography
It has been a couple years since I have taken photos of this crew so it was time for an update! We gathered first thing in the morning for their photos at the Portland Dam to get some great morning lighting for their family photos. The kids of the group were definitely awake and ready to go! They definitely kept all of us on our toes and very busy! Here are a few of my favorites from their session!

The Huhn Family | Westphalia, Mi Extended Family Photos
I met up with this family for an evening session at their home in Westphalia, Michigan. To get this many people together for a family photo is quite the job, but this family made it look effortless! By the time we were done with the photos that they wanted during their session I was shocked that they moved through their list as quickly as we did, they were so organized! Here are a few of my favorites from their session!

The Hanses Family | Portland, Michigan Family Photos
I have the privilege to see this beautiful family each year for their photos so I was excited when they reached out to me this year because I love seeing how much the kids have grown. At these ages, they grow so fast! I was right, the boys have gotten bigger! We got right to work getting their family photos taken because from experience I know that sometimes the little ones tend to run the show and lose patience. Little Devin must’ve read my mind because at about 15 minutes into their session he decided that it was time to be done. It’s a great thing I work fast when I can because this family was still able to get some really cute photos and capture some great moments. Here are a few of my favorites from their session!

Sierra | Ionia, Michigan Senior Pictures
Sierra chose the most beautiful day for her senior pictures! I love good weather days for photos because it just makes the images pop more and helps families relax with their session because they don’t have to worry about crazy Michigan weather.
Sierra is a PW senior this year but wanted to travel out of town to Bertha Brock Park in Ionia for her senior photos. This was a wonderful choice because we got the most beautiful photos for her to choose from! Here are a few of my favorites from her session!

Dru | Grand Ledge, Michigan Senior Photos
I was so happy to hear from Dru for his senior photos and even more excited that he had arranged to utilize Grand Ledge’s football stadium for his senior pictures. I had not yet been on the field, so seeing the stadium from the turf was a new experience for me. In addition to the awesome photos we got there, we also spent some time around downtown Grand Ledge which is always a great choice for senior pictures too. Here are a few of my favorites from Dru’s senior photo session!

Troy | PW, Michigan Senior Photos
Troy is such a good sport! It was raining right when his senior session was supposed to begin, so we waited it out and got started when we could. However, it started raining again. Each time between the rain, we would run out and get as many photos done as possible. Even in having to do this, Troy still has so many photos to choose from. And the best thing yet, the photos look amazing because cloudy skies mean great lighting for photos! Here are a few of my favorites from his senior session!

Gussie | Portland, Michigan Senior Pictures
Gussie did so well planning her senior photo session! She wanted to be sure to include her horses as well as spots around her and her grandparents home. I cannot even begin to tell you how good of a choice this was. Not only did she get great images with her horses, but the properties that she introduced me to were absolutely stunning. Gussie is so gorgeous and so easy to photograph, she has so many photos to choose from. Here are a few of my favorites from her senior session!

I am so glad she did this because we got some amazing photos! MSU campus is just perfect and Ellie is simply gorgeous! Here are a few of my favorites from her session.

The Goodwin Cousin Crew | Portland, Michigan Family Photos
This cousin crew was so much fun! I could tell that when they first started gathering for these photos that they have fun together and I was right! There was so much laughter and good times which made it so much easier to get a lot of nice candid photos. Here are a few of my favorites from their session!

Ben | Ionia High School Senior Photos
I met up with Ben in Portland, Michigan for his senior photos and it was the perfect choice! He shared that he was up for anything for his portraits but I did catch that having him near the water would actually mean a lot since growing up he spent a lot of time near the water. Since Portland is the ‘City of Two Rivers’ this actually worked out pretty perfectly! Here are a few of my favorites from his session!

Drew | PW High School Senior Photos
I had so much fun with Drew for his senior photos! We met at his home and then moved into Westphalia, MI to finish off his session. He got so much variety in his photos by doing this. It was a beautiful evening and we got so many different options to choose from! Here are a handful of my favorites!

The Schneider Family | Portland, MI Extended Family Photos
When it is the first time an entire family has been together in a couple of years, it only seems right to mark the occasion! After some conversations with several people in this family during their session, I happen to know that a certain someone had their entire year made by this gathering. So much so, that they became teary-eyed just watching their family come together for these portraits. I think this was the perfect way to commemorate this moment and share this togetherness. Here is a sneak peek of every family within this big happy family :)

The Platte Family | Ionia, Michigan Family Photos
I was so happy that the Platte Kids came together to purchase a gift card for family portraits for their parents this year! It really is such a nice gift for parents to receive and these updated photos of their family are priceless!
The Platte family chose Bertha Brock Park in Ionia, Michigan as their location of choice. I absolutely love this choice, this park has a river, bridges and lots of trees which all make for a good variety of photos. On the day of photos, this park was busltling. Many graduation parties and family gatherings were happening so we had to get creative with how to photograph the Platte family to get as few people in the background of their photos as possible while still being able to capture the essence of Bertha Brock Park. I think we had some great success, and you can see for yourself too! Here are a few of my favorites from my time with them!

Emilia | Portland, MI One Year Photos
I was so excited to be asked to take Emilia’s 1 year pictures! She is the cutest little thing with the best, most chill attitude (although mom and dad indicated it isn’t always that way, but I have a hard time believing that!). We got right to work at her session trying to get Emilia to smile but she had already decided she wasn’t going to give those out freely. We broke her down a couple times though and captured some great moments. Big thanks to her parents for the assist on this one, she was a tough crowd! Here are a few of my favorite captures from Emilia’s session, Happy First Birthday Emilia!

Payton | Portland, Michigan Senior Photos
I was so excited to kick off senior photo session season with Payton. She chose an amazing location and came prepared to get her senior year started! She was a little nervous about being in front of the camera but I am telling you I don’t know what she is talking about! After this gorgeous session she has so many great photos to choose from! She has an exciting year ahead too, not only is she going to be graduating and doing all the senior year things but she is headed to Europe in a couple of short weeks too, what an amazing experience! Have so much fun this year Payton!

Spring Mini Sessions | East Lansing, Michigan
I love visiting MSU gardens any time of the year, however, I dont get to visit during spring much at all. This year I planned to have spring mini sessions in this location simply because it has so much to offer, and it is always so gorgeous! With the impending rain storm I had two families brave the hot, muggy weather. Here are a few of my favorites from each of those sessions!
The Wymer Family
Prom Photography | Portland, Michigan
Each year students gear up and dress their best for their big night at Prom, it only seems fitting to capture that in photos! I had a few couples visit me prior to prom this year for photos and we captured some amazing images, even in the rain! The nice thing about getting photos prior to heading out to prom is that these couples did not have to wait in line for photos at the prom and could focus on dancing the night away! Here are some of my favorites from each couple!
Logan and Owen
Lily and Zane

Sully | Lake Odessa, Michigan Toddler Photography
I spent the best spring day with Sully at his home in celebration of his 2nd birthday! Let me tell you, this kiddo has changed a ton since I last photographed him. He was a little weary of my camera this time around, but he eventually warmed up and brought out the smiles. It also helped that his play-set was nearby so he was all about climbing it, playing around and sliding down the slide during his photo session. I love being able to photograph these moments for families because it captures kids like Sully doing what they do best, having fun and living their best life! Here are a few of my favorites from Sully’s birthday photo session!
