It was one of those freezing cold fall mornings so these sweet kids were chattering a little bit. So often our idea of a perfect family photo is everyone posed and smiling nicely right at the camera, and sure, it’s great to have one of those photos! But then let’s also grab a few real […]

This family is awesome. I feel very blessed and honored that they chose me to be their family photographer and capture their love and fun moments. I know that doing the crazy things I suggested wasn’t completely second nature, but oh boy was it fun! Thank you DeRyke family for hanging out with me and […]

When Nicole first called me she explained that through this photo session she wanted to capture her joy and happiness. Nicole is a licensed, board certified doctor of physical therapy in pelvic health who’s business is consulting with physical therapy clinics to better be able to help their patients with their pelvic health. But beyond […]

It was so much fun working with this beautiful family! SJ was just all smiles (even without the goldfish bribe!) and I loved capturing that big gorgeous grin of his. We experimented working with the three pups which was a bit of an adventure and wrapped up the photoshoot with a bit of dancing and […]

I enjoyed my time hanging out with Ethan for his senior photos. We walked around the Dexter border to border trail and enjoyed the chilly fall afternoon. Ethan is very easy going and chill senior and we walked and talked through his whole session. Here are a few of my favorites! Best of luck on […]

This post is dedicated to the U.S. military, with Veteran’s Day approaching this family asked for me to help them express their gratitude to the U.S. military without whom this family would not be here today. I am so appreciative that my job allows me to meet such incredible people with stories from all walks […]

I am so excited for this beautiful couple’s 2019 wedding! Even though Rachel and John are used to waking up early, we were hiking before the sunrise to capture those first moments when the sun peeks over the trees. One of the first freezing early morning days of fall, we were all quite chilly, but […]

Have you ever wondered what those extra buttons on your camera do? What is shutter speed, aperture, and ISO are? And how do those settings impact your photos? Come join me (Christy!) for a class on basic photography! There are limited seats, and depending on the response, more classes may be offered in the future. […]

I have had the opportunity to work with this family a few times over the last almost 2 years. I just love when I get to watch families grow and change, and in this case watching sweet Owen grow into an active and happy giggly toddler! We found some great color and got the whole […]

Shannon and her family love U of M so it was completely fitting to have her senior session in Downtown A2. Between the wonderful fall color and the gathering of U of M fans (it was a game day!!), it wasn’t hard to find all different settings and backgrounds for Shannon’s senior photos. It was […]
