THE ONE DAY ONLY HEIRLOOM PORTRAIT EVENT

I am so excited to be collaborating with Redeemed to bring you a truly special Heirloom Portrait Event!

Looking for the perfect way to honor Mom? Treat her to a meaningful gift that'll be just in time for Mother’s Day! An opportunity to capture timeless heirloom style portraits, and enjoy a unique shopping experience at Redeemed in Manistee. These are the kinds of photos that will be treasured for generations, a keepsake that truly stands the test of time.

Not a Mom? That's AOK!

Want to be a part of the Heirloom Portrait Project for FREE? Now's your chance!

I’m looking for a few children to photograph for a classic heirloom-style portrait session. These portraits will feature a clean white background and a timeless, traditional look, something designed to feel beautiful and lasting for years to come. Want to see what Heirloom Style Portraits look like? Check the comments for a link!

Selected participants will receive a complimentary portrait session and edited images in exchange for permission to use the photos for my portfolio and advertising as I begin offering these as future paid sessions.

I’m mainly looking for younger children who are comfortable in front of the camera and able to follow simple instructions.

If you’d like your child considered, please comment below with their age(s) and I’ll choose a few children to participate!

I can’t wait to create something beautiful 🤍

Hi friends 🤍

I’m sharing an important update for past clients.

Over the years, I’ve held onto most of your RAW session files even though my contract only guarantees storage until final gallery delivery. I’ve always been sentimental about your memories and struggled to part with them.

However, due to the continued rise in storage costs (hard drives, SSDs, cloud storage, etc.), I’ll be permanently clearing my archives.

Before doing so, I want to offer previous clients the opportunity to access their past sessions one final time.

Because retrieving and rebuilding archived galleries is time intensive, the following will apply:

• Archive Retrieval Fee: $45 (applied toward image purchases)
• Gallery access will be active for 7 days once delivered
• Additional images and full gallery upgrades will be available

Archival edit pricing will be as follows:

• 1 image – $15
• 5 images – $65
• 10 images – $120
Full gallery upgrades will also be available for those wanting the complete collection.

Please note: while I’ve retained most sessions, a small number of older files were lost years ago due to a previous hardware issue. Since then, I’ve upgraded my systems and backup process to better protect client work moving forward.

If you’d like access to a previous session, please message me by April 19th, 2026. After that date, all remaining archived files will be permanently deleted and unrecoverable.

Thank you for trusting me with your milestones, it truly means more than you know. 🤍

He didn’t just plan a proposal, he planned a moment.

After a million messages back and forth, scouting locations, and marking the exact spot, Adam had everything set. Complete down to me having a speaker hidden and ready to play “One Last Breath” at just the right second- which is their song.

She showed up in sweats (complete with a stain on them), no makeup, thinking this was just another winter day. She had absolutely no idea her life was about to change.

Meanwhile, I was tucked away in an oversized camo coat, hiding my camera underneath it, with my best friend playing the perfect decoy. The two of us just “sightseeing,” pretending to admire the view while trying not to give anything away.

They drove all the way from Detroit for this. Their two dogs running and playing around them, the river flowing behind them, and snow falling like something out of a storybook at Tippy Dam, it was unreal.

Rosy cheeks. Teary eyes. The biggest smiles. So much laughter.

And then… the easiest “yes.”

Some moments feel like they were always meant to happen exactly the way they did. I’m so honored I got to capture this one. 🤍💍

Welcome to the world, sweet Elliott James 🤍

There is nothing like those first hours.

The tiny fingers. The tired, glowing smiles. The “we made him” disbelief.

Amanda and Alec… from longtime clients to dear friends, it’s been such an honor to watch your story unfold, and now I get to document the beginning of their greatest one yet. Watching them step into parenthood with so much love already surrounding Elliott James is something I’ll never stop being thankful for.

The best is just beginning, little man has picked the absolute bestest mommy & daddy🤍

Photographing the moment life changes for two little girls >> 🥹

Cold air, lots of giggles, warming up at The Outsider with pinball and french fries, and two sisters who had no clue their world was about to get a “big” upgrade. Getting to capture their faces when they opened those big sister hoodies was so special.

Forever grateful families trust me with moments like this 🤍

After the holidays, I took a step back. Less noise, more intention. Stepping back into sharing with a couple's session that reminded me how powerful it is to simply let people be themselves together. 🧡

I had the joy of photographing Heather, her family, and their adorable new pup, M***a! She’s a 1–2 year old Shar Pei/Pitbull mix who loves being right by her humans, playing with her toy donut, and snacking on peanut butter Beggin’ Strips. 💛

Cleo, Heather’s daughter, absolutely adores her, and it was so heartwarming to capture their bond. This session was part of our Adopt-a-Dog Minis, celebrating new furry family members finding their forever homes! Congrats on the newest family members you guys, M***a is SO lucky to have you!

🥁 DRUM ROLL PLEASE 🥁

Okay, maybe a little dramatic- but I'm SO excited!

She’s officially in print! 🌿 It took a million tiny tweaks and obsessive color-matching to find the perfect shade of sage, but my new business cards are finally here. I never knew I could care so much about font hierarchy, but seeing it all come together feels like such a win. I can’t wait to get these into your hands!

The Marker Family took over River Street! 🎄

From Mom and Miss Aspen in their matching outfits to Dad and Mr. Oaks being absolute goofballs, this session was full of laughs and easy holiday energy. Pretty sure they could’ve walked right into a Christmas movie without even trying.

4 days left to book your winter mini session! DM to book, or reach out here: www.kaitlyngriffinphotography.com/contact
