Zaya, Escanaba newborn session
Zaya’s mom is a certified pediatric sleep consultant here in Escanaba Michigan, which I think is a pretty cool resource to have! She hoped to use some of the images from her session to help promote her business, so I planned on several simple, safe-sleeping…
Westyn, Escanaba newborn session
Westyn’s grandmother contacted me and set up this session – this is a trend I’ve been seeing quite a bit lately. Newborn photos weren’t so much a thing even 10 years ago – my own kids are 14 and 11, and they were just getting…
Tucker, custom newborn session
This session was full of emotion. Baby’s grandfather had passed away, and mom wished to incorporate some details from his life into the session. She described him as a politician, but said that he’d also been a logger prior to that. Dad also had some…
Lainey, vibrant newborn session
Lainey has 2 older siblings who absolutely adore her. Especially her older sister – she was so good at holding and soothing Lainey, it almost made me wish I could see my daughter as an older sister. I try to create a cohesive gallery, so…
Hailey, jungle themed storytelling 1 year session
I’ve done many 1 year sessions over the years – we usually focus on simple setups, capturing baby’s details, and maybe add a cake smash at the end. Those types of sessions are great and turn out beautiful – but I really wanted the option…
Kinsley, rustic newborn session
This family wasn’t quite sure they wanted newborn photos. A big deciding factor was whether they could include their dog – he was their first baby, and including him was very important to them. I absolutely love including pets in photos and they are welcome…
Emma, spring inspired newborn session
I first photographed this family way back when my studio was a spare room in our basement. I’ve since moved into my studio (6 years this year!) and they have moved downstate – but I’ve still photographed newborn and milestone photos for their children. It’s…
Escanaba Studio Maternity session
I thought I’d share one of my most recent favorite indoor maternity sessions today! I love the variety that maternity sessions can offer – there are so many options! We can go indoors at my Escanaba Michigan studio, and work through a variety of outfits….
Why you should get boudoir photos taken | Escanaba Michigan photographer
Boudoir photos are something that I never thought I’d offer. I had a few clients reach out to me about them and I declined – I thought that I would be too awkward during such a session, and if *I’m* not confident, it would be…
What should I bring to my newborn session | Escanaba Michigan newborn photographer
Many of my clients ask what they should bring to their newborn session. While I have a cozy, comfy studio stocked with water, snacks, coffee, and all the props, wraps, and headbands you could ever imagine, there are a few things you can bring to…
Outdoor family activities for a Michigan winter | Eben Ice caves
Going stir-crazy is a real thing for Michigan winters, especially if you live in the UP! It seems like it’s always either too cold or too snowy to go anywhere. The roads are bad, the wind-chill is below 15, and for the most part your…
When to book your newborn session | Escanaba Michigan newborn photographer
You’ve found out you are expecting – you’ll be bringing a new life (lives?) into this world – how exciting! You’ve prepped and planned, gone to doctor appointments and sorted through page after page of nursery decor. But, have you thought about how you will…
