Traverse City Senior Photographer | Leah Class of 2020
Where do I even start with this senior photo session? Leah's mom and dad decided to tag along for what has been my favorite senior photo session to date! Leah was an absolute natural in front of the camera which is our FAVORITE! It's fun to think of ideas, but when someone comes to us with their own look and a boatload of confidence, it makes the session that much more enjoyable. It's Leah's senior year at Traverse City West Senior High School and she looks forward to studyin

Traverse City Family Photographer | The Pre-Session Warm Up
I just wanted to take a minute to talk about the importance of the pre-session warm up. What is this, you might ask? This is the time of interaction and introduction to your children that occurs before we begin the session. Usually for the first 15 minutes of your session we are setting equipment and during this time we like make it a point to get to know each other. Especially with young children, it’s going to be a little bit scary interacting with someone they’ve never met
Traverse City Professional Headshot Photographer | Marina Deering
When Marina reached out to us to inquire about scheduling a professional headshot with our team, we asked how they would be used. She explained that she is an independent financial advisor along and she's also working on the Strategic Planning Team at The Botanic Garden at Historic Barns Park, and needed two different looks for her positions - one casual and one more formal. Her beautiful yard made the perfect setting for her Botanic Garden headshot, don't you think? While sh
Why Bribery Is Okay | Traverse City Sunset Beach Family Photos | Sleeping Bear Dunes
Picture day can be an exceptionally stressful time, especially if you have children. Finding outfit choices and a picking a date that everyone is available on already causes you a headache.

We’ve all seen those adorable photos of new little babies looking so peaceful and relaxed and not a care in the world. As new parents, we want similar photos of our children to send out to grandparents, make into screensavers, and blast out to our social media pages to show off our amazing baby. But then session day comes around and BAM! – your baby does not want anything to do with it. You’re thinking, “Why won’t you stop crying? I’ve literally done everything I can think of
Harbor Springs Wedding Photographer | Adam & Jessica Schaller | Holy Childhood of Jesus Catholic
About 13 years ago, I met a guy named Adam during a summer that I lived in Harbor Springs. He was the life of the party and I always knew I could count on him for a laugh. Little did I know when I met him that several years later I would be photographing his wedding to the most wonderful woman, Jessica. It had been a long time since I'd spoken to Adam, but it was so exciting to hear from him when he and Jessica started planning their dream wedding. We did their engagement pho
