Northern Michigan candid photography for everyone.

What if I told you that family photos don’t have to be a stressful, chaotic experience filled with forced smiles and stiff poses? Sounds too good to be true, right? But it’s not—I promise! Family photo sessions can actually be fun, relaxed, and dare I say… enjoyable. That’s right, I said fun and stress-free.

Gone are the days of everyone standing perfectly still in matching outfits, awkwardly smiling at the camera while silently wondering when it will all be over. I’m here to change the way you think about family photography. My goal is to create a space where you can simply be yourselves—where kids can run, laugh, and play, and where parents can breathe, connect, and enjoy the moment (and maybe have a beer ha)

Instead of posing for the camera, you’ll be making memories with the people you love most. I’ll capture real laughs, warm hugs, silly faces, and all the little in-between moments that truly tell your family’s story. You’ll walk away with beautiful, authentic images that reflect the love and joy you share—and every time you look back at them, you’ll feel that same happiness all over again.

Let’s ditch the stress and bring on the fun. Your family photos can be something you all look forward to, and I’m here to make that happen.

Being a family photographer in Traverse City, I’m privileged to have access to a myriad of picturesque locations that are perfectly suited for capturing the essence of your family. From the scenic landscapes of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park to the charming urban spots of downtown Traverse City, the options are limitless and offer a diverse backdrop to frame your moments of togetherness. Or, we can do them in the comfort of your own home or awesome Lake front cabin.
