Nolan + Emma | Glen Haven Engagement
From taking in the view from the old coast guard station and dancing down the sidewalks of the historic village to hiking the dunes and feeling like we were on top of the world, every minute with these Nolan and Emma was a blast. So thankful they were willing to climb the dunes, brave the wind, and trust the vision, because it ended up being the most stunning night on Lake Michigan.
It was all laughter with Nolan and Emma throughout their Glen Haven Engagement session.

We had met Emma a couple years prior as a bridesmaid for one our past couples. When she reached out about engagement photos, we were so happy to reunite with her and have the honor to photograph her own engagement season. Congratulations to these two!
Zach + Wendy | Maple Bay Engagement
It’s no surprise that Northern Michigan holds a special place in the hearts of many. For Zach and Wendy, Traverse City marked their very first trip together as a couple and it was a no brainer for them to have portraits in such a meaningful area. To celebrate their engagement, we explored Maple Bay Natural area, documenting on both digital and film as they traipsed through wildflower fields, popped champagne on the beach, and danced along the shoreline while the sun set.

It was a joy to witness the kind of love these two shared—clearly smitten with each other and giddy to be together.
2025 family on film | a year in review
We opted for film more than digital this year to document our 2025 memories. It’s a practice in patience and intentionality so when we finally get the scans back, it feels like a little treat going through and reliving those sweet memories. We want to take you along through some of those moments. We hope you enjoy!
It’s that time of year again! We’ve rounded up some of our favorite family moments captured on film. From snowy winter walks, coffee at home and at our favorite shops, sunny summer days in Northern Michigan, and a family vacation to Virginia in mid-October.
