I can’t think of a better post for Mother’s Da I can’t think of a better post for Mother’s Day weekend than this 😍 Mom chose two gowns from my client closet, and said if she could describe what she wanted in any way, it would be “warm and intimate.” I love that we were able to give her that, in a variety of ways! Most of our maternity sessions involve me moving furniture from one corner of the studio to another, and moving lights around - because it’s *all* about the light ✨ and showing *you* in your best light. This is such a special, fleeting stage of motherhood, and one that I absolutely love capturing. #maternityphotos #maternitysession #babybump #maternityphotography #expectingmom #expectingbaby #escanabaescanabamichigan #escanabaphotographer #upphotographer
Owen’s parents came back over the weekend for th Owen’s parents came back over the weekend for the parent poses of their newborn session, and we added in some more relaxed, lifestyle type poses. What do you think? These might be my new favorite thing ever 😍 When I had dad sit behind mom his hands immediately went to surround her, and I loved that. Often we will have all attention and hands pointed toward baby, but there’s something really poignant and beautiful about this. It reminds us that, while there is a whole new life to attend to, you are still partners. The attention, the care and support here - it matters. #newparents #parenthood #partners #marriage #newbaby #babyphotos #newbornphotos #newbornsession #newbornphotography #escanaba #escanabaphotographer #escanabanewbornphotographer
We took parent, family, and sibling poses over the We took parent, family, and sibling poses over the weekend, and then mom brought Rowen in for her main character photos the next day. That way dad didn’t have to miss photos because of his work schedule, brother didn’t have to sit through the *whole* session, and mom got to sit and relax for a few hours while I photographed Rowen. Schedules can be crazy but we will always, always find a way to make it work. Separate times for family poses are just one way we can work together so your session works best for you! If you have a little one on the way and want to preserve those tiny first little details, dm and let’s plan your session. #escanaba #escanabaphotographer #upmichigan #upmichiganphotographer #newbornphotos #newbornphotographer #newbornphotography
Setting this corner up as a little lifestyle area Setting this corner up as a little lifestyle area makes me so, so happy - I couldn't get over how pretty it was! I loved it so much that we took some newborn and parent poses here too. What do you think, should we start adding more of a lifestyle vibe in? Either way, these sisters had fun and that's what matters most :) #sisters #sisterhood #lifestyle #lifestylephotography #escanaba #escanabaphotographer #northernmichiganphotographer #upmichigan #upmichiganphotographer
OK I have a very important question: Edit 1, or e OK I have a very important question: Edit 1, or edit 2? I wouldn't be a photographer if I didn't go through an editing crisis every few months and completely obsess over minuscule details 🤣 Can you tell a difference? Which one do you prefer? #editingcrisis #photographerlife #photographerproblems #newedits #motherhood #mommyandme #mommyandmephotos #momlife #escanaba #escanabaphotographer
When you love books, being surrounded by your favo When you love books, being surrounded by your favorites feels like visiting with your oldest friends. When your daughter understands that feeling, and is building up her own family of books - that's a bond you just have to capture. Mandy asked if she could bring a few books in for their session, and I said, "Of course! But knowing you, I'm wondering just how many "a few" is." Then I told her we should make a book castle. She of course took that as a challenge and brought two giant bags in. Each one was chosen with care, and is a book that they have read together, or plan to in the future. Each one has had an impact on their lives in some way - a viewpoint changed, a perspective previously unknown, a feeling remembered. Books are powerful things, and her daughter is going to be so strong, having grown up surrounded by them. #bibliophile #booklover #bookloversofinstagram #bookloversunite #momanddaughter #motherhood #escanaba #escanabamichigan #escanabaphotographer
