My June schedule has been filled with milestones; Wedding's, Maternity, and Senior sessions! I am not complaining one bit and I am loving every second of it. This soon-to-be family of 4 had the best evening for their photos despite a forecast calling for rain. We managed to dodge it, and get some beautiful photos.

Scroll to the end to see how much little man has grown since our last session!

If you are hoping to schedule a summer session with me, dates are running out, reach out soon to get something on the books!

Yesterday I had the privilege of photographing the Neyer wedding, and it was one of those days that just reminds you how amazing life's timing can be. These two first met at the Isabella County 4-H fair many years ago. Like so many of us, life took them down different roads, but somehow those roads led them right back to each other. After spending the day with them, it's pretty clear this was always meant to be!

They chose The Rustic Red Barn in Coleman for their wedding day, and it couldn't have been more perfect for them. Between the beautiful setting, the joy, and being surrounded by the people who love them most, it was such a special day to be a part of.

One of my favorite moments was right after they officially said "I do." The pure excitement was impossible to miss. The smiles, the laughter, the way they looked at each other, it was so special.
Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Neyer. Thank you for trusting me to capture these memories❤️

First wedding of the year and I got to spend it with the Neyer's! I had to get this late-night micro preview up to hold Colleen and Samuel over until their much bigger one is up. Such a beautiful wedding!

Downtown Mount Pleasant gave us the perfect backdrop for this Class of 2026 senior session ✨📚

We wandered through the cozy corners of Sleepy Dog Books and explored some of the cutest little spots downtown to capture photos that felt so her — relaxed, fun, creative, and full of personality.

Senior sessions are always my favorite because they get to tell a story about who you are in this season of life, and she absolutely brought that story to life. 💛

Quick PSA: I will never intentionally ignore a message from you!!

Recently I’ve been having a huge problem with my website inquiries going to my spam folder in my email. This has been SO frustrating. Despite months of attempts to fix, I have just accepted that I have to be better at checking my spam folder.

If you ever reach out to me and I don’t respond within 24 hours, PLEASE message me here! I never want anyone to feel like I ignored them!

Can you believe how beautiful campus was over the weekend? The sun hung around for us, which created the most beautiful glow for us in photos!

This weekend was filled with a couple of spring minis and I am here for it. don't usually host minis in the spring - they usually just don't book very well for me, but if I am being honest, it makes sense because I would probably describe my style as more of a fall vibe with the crisp colors. Luckily for me, I had a handful of amazing clients schedule - this family specifically has been coming to me for years and is celebrating a huge milestone of a 25 year anniversary! One of many special moments that I have been fortunate enough to document for them. I just love how these photos turned out!

Here’s your reminder that if you have a gift card set to expire at the end of 2026, now is the time to schedule your summer, fall, winter session. Availability is dwindling down!

Sneak peeks for this lovely engaged couple! It seemed like every attempt to pivot to get sunshine turned into a flop, we finally said screw it and just decided to embrace whatever happened. Luckily for us, we got some beautiful (very chilly) semi-sunshiney weather.

Makennha is on my HR team so it was so fun to get together outside of work to capture these moments. She told me Victor was a goofball, but I was not prepared for the fun that we were about to have!

Grad Minis are here!!

Hey friends!! It’s that time of year, and I’m hoping to fill my schedule up with as many grad sessions as I can!! That being said, I’m discounting my normal sessions by $100 to get the job done and adding one specific mini date to the calendar!

If you’re looking for someone to photograph you or your child in grad gear before you / they walk across that stage, I’m your girl!!
