Mid Michigan/Thumb area photographer. Hello, and welcome to my page! Specifically I am located out of Quanicassee, MI.

I am a local Thumb/Mid Michigan photographer specializing in family( 6months of age and above), maternity, senior, special event, and engagement photography. I started out as a wildlife photographer, but have a love for capturing special moments and smiles for my clients! I am a dental hygienist by day and do photography on nights and weekends. If you are interested in booking a session with me or have any questions, please feel free to contact me by phone, email, or Facebook message! Also, if you would like a special quote for any photography sessions not listed, please ask. At this time, I do not do newborn photography or wedding photography, but pretty much anything else in between!

LONG POST, BUT PLEASE READ!!!! IMPORTANT DETAILS ABOUT 2026 SESSIONS!!!

Good evening, I hope that everyone had a great Mother's Day yesterday! I know I sure did!!! On a positive note, looking at the extended forecast, it looks like overall we are finally warming up some. I'm excited to get back to capturing beautiful images for you and I am now opening up my bookings for summer sessions (message me through FB to set this up)!!! As I start my 11th year of photography, I will be making a few changes this year to make a better work/life balance for myself. I love doing photography, but I also want to enjoy our beautiful Michigan summer and spend time at our cabin and spend time doing fun stuff with my kiddos while they are still little.

Some changes you will be seeing that will hopefully help to make a better balance for me this year:

1. All photography clients will have to pay a retainer before their date is reserved! Cash, Paypal or Venmo will be accepted. Remaining balance can still be paid day of. I do have a credit card option, but a fee of 3.5% will be added if you wish to use your card.

2. I will only be doing photography sessions Sunday-Thursday in the evenings (1-2 hours prior to sunset). Friday and Saturdays will be reserved for family time.

3. I will be doing very few mini sessions this year. Unfortunately, they never book well, and I end up losing money. I've tried for years and just have not had success. If you are someone that is only interested in minis- This summer I will be doing field/wildflower minis, beach minis at bay city state park, and IF I can get my large zinnia patch to grow this year, possibly that option as well. These will be announced on my FB page and held on a day of my choosing.

4. I will be sticking to delivering the number of images promised in your session contract, with the option to upgrade and purchase more images if you wish for an additional fee. Bear with me as I transition to this system as it is new to me.

5. SPREAD THE WORD!!! I am hoping to do more SENIOR photography this year!!! If you know a 2027 graduate looking for a photographer, I'd love to chat!!! I am running a special on Senior photos during the month of May. Anyone who pays their retainer by May 31st for their summer/fall senior session date, will receive $100 off ($450, normally $550). I also offer a smaller package for those that have teens that only want a "few images".

Thank you for reading all the way until the end!!! I have enjoyed having the winter off, but I am looking forward to working with you all this year to capture some amazing images and memories!!!💜📷 -Kerri
