Fall books up quickly for photographers so all I had left were morning time slots and this sweet family took me up on an opening. It felt like winter that morning, it was SO cold but they were all troopers. County Farm Park in Ann Arbor is one of my favorite places to photograph at any time of day, especially in the fall. If you are still looking to get something scheduled, contract me sooner than later before the year ends! #detroitfamilyphotographer #detroitfamily #annarbor

I met Melissa in an online group for home decor and was looking for families to practice photography with. When this family opened their door for me, I had no idea that we would be here 2 years later celebrating their growing family. You'll be seeing more of this family as well, since they booked a milestone package which includes newborn, 6 month and 1 year. I can't wait to meet their newest addition! #annarborfamilyphotographer #annarbornewbornphotographer #annarbormi #detr

Eyelyn Rose was born January 29, 2020, right before the big shutdowns from COVID but hospitals still weren't allowing visitors. Once discharged and back home, Evelyn was 5 days old when I finally was able to meet her. I first met the Hayes back when big sister Louisa was born in 2018 and then I was honored to see their family become one at their elopement in Tennessee in 2019.. and now sweet Evelyn is here. It's one of my favorite things about my career, getting to be apart o

Lion + Ram in Middletown, OH is my absolute favorite place to shoot. There are so many studio options and they change it up throughout the year so you never get bored. I took my favorite little model (my son) for Valentines Day Minis and these are by far some of my favorite photos of him. I plan on doing these sessions yearly so make sure to keep a lookout to book! #annarborfamilyphotographer #inhomesession #inhomelifestylesession #lifestylephotographer #annarbornewbornphotog

Little Hadley was born early, on November 24th, 2019 and I was honored to meet the Guy's newest addition the very next day. Big sister, Harper was so sweet and gentle with Hadley. I can't wait to see this sweet family again and watch them continue to grow. #annarborfamilyphotographer #inhomesession #inhomelifestylesession #lifestylephotographer #annarbornewbornphotographer #annarbormi #annarbormichigan #annarborbabyphotography #annarbormiphotography #annarbor #annarborbabypho

I've been wanting to do red truck sessions for awhile and was so excited when I finally found one. I combined red truck sessions with my holiday favorite, the tree farm and the end results were amazing. I'll definitely be doing these again! #annarborfamilyphotographer #annarborfamily #detroitfamilyphotographer #detroitfamilyphotographer #families #annarborfamilyphotography #family #metrodetroit #annarbor #naturallight #grandrapids #annarborphotography #annarborphotographer #g

If you recognize one of the couples in this photo, it's because they've done multiple sessions with me and I'm so excited when they book with me since their sessions are so fun. For their Christmas card, they wanted a tree farm and also to do the session with their best friends. This made the session even more fun. I highly recommend booking with your best friends! #annarborfamilyphotographer #annarborfamily #detroitfamilyphotographer #detroitfamilyphotographer #families #ann

Fall is by far the most popular time to book so if you're looking to get some cute family photos done while the colors are changing, make sure to book well in advance. Look at how cute these photos turned out on a late October afternoon. #detroitfamilyphotographer #detroitfamily #annarborfamilyphotographer #annarborfamilyphotographer #families #metrodetroitifamilyphotography #family #annarbormi #detroitmi #naturallight #littleones #annarborphotography #detroitphotographer #de

Year 2 of apple orchard minis were a success! Thank you again to Monnin Fruit Farm for allowing us to get photos of families at their beautiful orchard. #detroitfamilyphotographer #detroitfamily #annarborfamilyphotographer #annarborfamilyphotographer #families #metrodetroitifamilyphotography #family #annarbormi #detroitmi #naturallight #littleones #dayton #annarborphotography #detroitphotographer #detroit #michigan #metrodetroitphotography #grandrapidsmi #grandrapidsphotograp

You've probably seen them before on the blog since they are my best customers (they had 3 sessions alone in 2018 and that was my first year - and I wasn't very good :) ) I know them from the small town we grew up in and was so excited to find out that these high school sweethearts were having their third baby! It was a little chilly and windy so we moved quick but I am in love with the results. Congratulations on your upcoming arrival! #cincinnatifamilyphotographer #cincinnat

When first starting my business, I was given the advice that I needed to specialize in one type of photography and shoot only that. Only families, only weddings, only newborns, etc. As I started to gain experience, I quickly realized I loved so many types of sessions and I didn't want to just choose one. I don't want to meet you one time, be apart of a huge moment in your life and then never see you again.. I want to be your "forever photographer." Engaged? I'm your girl. Ge

When Lauren asked me about shooting a fruit bath session for her little man, Cooper, I was so excited! I had never done one before but think they are SO cute. Fruit baths are a fun change up for your baby’s milestone session. Not only are they adorable, but they keep your little one entertained. I mean what baby doesn’t love a good splash in the tub + FOOD! Cooper loved sucking on the lemons. I couldn't believe he didn't make a face! Check out this adorable session below an

Tasha found me in a fellow fire wives Facebook group and I'm so happy she did! We headed out to Big Tree Plantation in Morrow, OH on quite possibly one of their busiest days of the year! We waited an hour to park (and almost got my car stuck in the mud) but it was worht it. How cute is their little man, Maverick?! #cincinnatifamilyphotographer #cincinnatifamily #columbusohfamilyphotographer #columbusfamilyphotographer #families #cincinnatifamilyphotography #family #daytonohio

You may recognize the Judy family from the spring when Whitney won a Mommy and Me session. (How could you forget the mother/son wine and baking session?!) I was excited to see them again and take more photos at their beautiful home in Kettering, OH. Here are a few from their Christmas mini session! I love how their dog looks like he is smiling too! #cincinnatifamily #mommyandmesession #columbusohfamilyphotographer #lifestylephotographer #cincinnatifamilyphotographer #lifestyl

I'm always so excited when people ask if they can bring their dog(s) to the session. YES! ALWAYS! I met Joe, Monica, and their two pups (plus Monica's dad to help wrangle them haha) at Hills & Dales Metropark in Kettering, OH on a chilly fall day in November. I had never been to this park but it was beautiful and there was no shortage of fall colors and scenery. Joe & Monica spent the whole time laughing and seemed so happy together. They've got a lot of love to give and thei

One of my favorite memories growing up was going to the Christmas Tree Farm to pick out a tree. It was always so fun and something I looked forward to every year. So when it came time to plan for holiday mini sessions, the tree farm was a no brainer. I not only was able to have sessions in the Dayton, OH area but I also went to the Ann Arbor, MI area where I grew up and was able to see some old friends. If you are looking for a photographer for your holiday cards, I would lov

I joined the Bevington on a beautiful (but chilly) fall day for their Hobart Urban Nature Preserve family session. They live only minutes away from this park so it was quick and easy to get to with a baby in tow! I loved seeing Kole and Keegan together and know these photos will be cherished by them in the future. Thank you so much for letting me capture this time in your life, I really enjoyed it! #cincinnatifamilyphotographer #cincinnatifamily #columbusohfamilyphotographer

I really enjoyed documenting the Bizzarro family during their fall session at Cox Arboretum. The boys were so much fun to watch as they observed everything at the park, especially the turtles and fish! We met on a beautiful fall day and these four had a great time cuddling and hanging out. Thanks so much for asking me to capture this moment in time for you guys Lauren, it was fun! #cincinnatifamilyphotographer #cincinnatifamily #columbusohfamilyphotographer #columbusfamilyph

Louisa Rose was born on October 16, 2018 at 4:57pm and she is perfect. I got to the hospital less than 24 hours after her arrival and couldn't believe how alert she was. Alert and beautiful! I loved seeing these new parents look at their new addition and can't wait to see the whole family in April when the happy parents get married! #annarborfamilyphotographer #inhomesession #inhomelifestylesession #lifestylephotographer #annarbornewbornphotographer #annarbormi #annarbormichi

One of my favorite early fall activities is going to the orchard for apple picking, cider, and donuts.. and then in late fall I love pumpkin picking and hayrides so it made sense that the only option for these mini sessions would be at a local fruit farm! Monnin's Fruit Farm happened to be right down the road for me and allowed me to set up shop for a couple afternoons. Even though it was 80 degrees and the apples were almost all gone, the photos still turned out beautiful an
