Hannah and Zorran | Five Year anniversary
Bathed in the golden sunlight of late spring, we met them first for a couple family photos with their new baby boy before leaving him the loving and caring arms of his grandma. Then with just the two of them, we explored some nearby trails as the sun came out and painted the clouds purple at sunset.
Zorran reached out to surprise Hannah with a couples session for their five year anniversary.

Then with just the two of them, we explored some nearby trails as the sun came out and painted the clouds purple at sunset. It’s the second year in a row we’ve done anniversary photos for Zorran and Hannah (check out last year’s blogpost here), and we definitely hope it becomes a tradition, because it is always such an honor to photograph these two and their love.
Foggy Senior Portraits | Zoe
When we reached out to Zoe about the rainy forecast she simply told us that she trusted us and she didn’t mind getting rained on a little bit. So we packed up our umbrellas and headed out to Port Oneida where we were met with the most moody and romantic foggy weather.
Northern Michigan weather is notorious for being unpredictable. But oh how magical it can be when we learn to embrace it.
When we reached out to Zoe about the rainy forecast she simply told us that she trusted us and she didn’t mind getting rained on a little bit. So we packed up our umbrellas and headed out to Port Oneida where we were met with the most moody and romantic foggy weather. The sun came out for a bit between the layers of fog, then sulked away for a few minutes of rain, peeked back out again, and then created the most gorgeous pink hue behind the clouds at sunset. The fog was so thick that the sky and the water blended into one as Zoe stood along the shore, gazing out at the horizon.
Summer Portraits | Ben and Joanna
This day late last summer was one of those days when the sunshine was golden and hazy and the very first glimpses of Fall could be seen in certain tree leaves. As we always do when we are with Ben and Joanna, we spent the evening in laughter and conversation. We went home with full hearts and bellies (after an impromptu post-session Qdoba double date)
We’ve had the wonderful honor of photographing our dear friends on many different occasions. From their engagement photos, to their wedding, to couple portraits and beyond, it is always the best time with Ben and Joanna. This day late last summer was one of those days when the sunshine was golden and hazy and the very first glimpses of Fall could be seen in certain tree leaves. As we always do when we are with Ben and Joanna, we spent the evening in laughter and conversation. We went home with full hearts and bellies (after an impromptu post-session Qdoba double date), reflecting on our friendship with them and all the wonderful milestones we’ve had the privilege of celebrating with them so far and all that’s yet to come.

Sophia | Senior Portraits
Quiet, reserved, and thoughtful is how I would describe my sister, Sophia. She’s pretty laid back, can be found tucked in a corner with a book, listening to indie rock, or expressing herself creatively through one of her artistic endeavors. Her photos seem match this vibe: peaceful, quiet beauty amongst the flowers, the old dilapidated buildings, and the sunlight filtering through the amber autumn leaves.

Joel + Emily | Traverse City Engagement
It was a beautiful Memorial Day weekend when we met up with Joel and Emily in Traverse City for their engagement photos. They brought along their dog, Finley to join in the fun. We walked around the trails at Olsen Bridge, played fetch with Finley, and found the prettiest bush absolutely overflowing with lilacs.

Alex | Traverse City Senior Portraits
Two summers ago, we met Alex at his downtown home and made the short walk to the beach for photos at one of his favorite locations— Grand Traverse Bay. It was so special to photograph Alex’s senior portraits in a place that meant so much to him all growing up.

We feel so honored to document people celebrating all different kinds of milestones—and graduating is no exception! We want to photograph people in a way that feels authentic to their personalities and give them photos that feel like a pause in time when they look back in years to come. We love that Alex can look back on these photos and remember his senior year and reflect on how much has changed since then and think about all that is yet to come.
