Photos are more than a smile - they are a window f Photos are more than a smile - they are a window for you to look back at who your child was at that moment in time. 

And we all know, time is a thief and those moments change all too fast.

Photos are so much more than standing in one place Photos are so much more than standing in one place and smiling at the camera! 

They are a way to mark different personalities.  They are a way to help you see how much love there is between people. 

And when done right, they give you something you can look back at and say "I remember that, it was so fun!"

Whether indoors or outdoors, I'm always looking for ways to make your session fun, easy, and memorable (in a good way!) 

My bedtime has been creeping up earlier and earlier, but I'm itching to get outside for sessions this summer (even though I know I'll be itching AFTER the photos too, but bug bites are another story 🤣) 

I have some plans to make sure our outdoor sessions are even more fun this year - stay tuned, and send me a message if you're thinking of planning one this year!

It was a hit, plus my studio smelled delicious.

A few of my clients said they were camping or goin A few of my clients said they were camping or going to cottages for the first time of the year this weekend - I’m so jealous!

Where are your favorite places to camp? For 4-5 years we camped at Jack Pine during Memorial weekend with a group of friends.  We’d bring our side by sides and ride every day - we had years that were freezing cold, and years that were so hot we brought the kids to the lake in Manistique so they could jump in the water and cool off.  Whether we were covered in dust or mud, the shower building at Jack Pine was a huge bonus for sure!

I’ve camped at prettier campgrounds, more scenic ones, but we have so many happy memories there and that’s what matters most right? What are your favorite camping memories?

Like most of us, mom and dad really don't like get Like most of us, mom and dad really don't like getting their picture taken.  But they realized how fast their little guy was growing, and wanted to make sure they had some family photos while he was still little!

They brought along his rocking chair that has been in dad's family for a number of years, and his little stuffed wolf pup too! We got posed photos and fun ones, and they are all full of Eddie's adorable personality.

Studio sessions like these are very much "on the move" and we all get a workout! But they are so fun, and so timeless and pretty too :)

Just a few weeks difference, but what a difference Just a few weeks difference, but what a difference it is. 

You go from wishing and dreaming and wondering, to holding and knowing and loving more than you ever thought possible.

Plus, you can finally bend down and tie your shoes again 😏
