Meet Emma. A soon to be graduate from Alpena High School! With only a few months left of school I can’t believe how quickly time has passed since I met up with this sweet young lady for her senior portrait session. Emma has a bit of a love for photography so when she contacted me […]

When I first began my photography journey it was all about taking pictures of everything. People, places and animals. I began with taking any opportunity thrown at me. Newborns, in studio corporate headshots, weddings, real estate, product photography, high school seniors, sports team pictures and family sessions. I was a photographer after all. I had […]

When we first scheduled their engagement session we were hoping for a snowy backdrop because at the time December wasn’t showing up for winter. And lack of snow there of. But just before their engagement session date we were blessed with a wintery blast of snowfall! However, we weren’t expecting the bitter cold temperatures it […]

Did you know one of my favorite places to travel to in Michigan is Mackinac Island? If you have taken the ferry to this amazing island, breathed in smells of it’s world famous fudge(and hopefully ate some!), took a carriage tour or rented bikes to explore the island, stood before the Grand Hotel and walked […]

I had some of the best high school seniors to photograph last summer. I think what I enjoyed the most were how each of them wanted pictures to show their uniqueness. Their personality. What they’re about! For Garrett, he really wanted a simple backdrop for pictures, yet showing his appreciation for where he has grown […]

How adorable is this girl? Let me rephrase that. How gorgeous is this young lady? Meet Kendayl. Class of 2019. Her radiating smile, beautiful, long hair, genuine personality combined with such a gracious attitude. She’s amazing. When we met for her session we started at a nearby church in downtown Alpena which offers so many […]

We had to cancel their original date for their engagement session only because it was raining, windy and downright miserable outside. Lacey really wanted snow for their pictures. I was so on board with this! We rescheduled for a week later, me crossing my fingers AND toes hoping for at least some snow. As luck […]

When couples as adorable as Desiree and Jake contact me to schedule an engagement session I get so excited to meet up with them. Leading up to their session we were in touch figuring out a location for their pictures. We also talked about outfit ideas for them to wear. They wanted a casual feel […]

One of my favorite places to go for senior portrait sessions, besides Colorado!, is Mackinac Island! I love this place for its gorgeous flowers and landscaping, smells of fudge, sounds of horse’s hooves clip-clopping down the street and all of the feels of being transported back in time. Mackinac Island is filled with charm and […]

I first met Alyssa about 6 years ago to create her high school senior pictures. She was and still is the most grateful and kindest person you will ever meet. I never imagined I would one day be photographing her wedding day. But last weekend that happened and it was the most beautiful celebration ever. […]
