It’s more than just a trip to the beach—it’s the first time his little toes touched the Straits of Mackinac, and the afternoon that sparked his passion for rockhounding!
Capture the essence of your family’s unique story with professional photography. You’ll treasure these images as a reminder of how quickly time flies, and how deeply these small moments shape your family’s journey. Let us help you hold onto what matters most—your life together, in its most genuine and joyful form.
Hiring a professional photographer for your special family moments ensures that everyone is included in the pictures—especially the “designated family photographer” who often gets left out. Whether it’s a reunion, a family vacation, or an afternoon playing in the snow, these occasions are filled with memories worth preserving. A professional photographer takes the stress out of trying to capture the perfect shot while allowing everyone to be present, creating beautiful, timeless images that include each family member. Let someone else focus on the photos, so you can focus on what truly matters—making memories together.
We guide you through the entire process, from envisioning your perfect photos to creating timeless artwork that will be cherished for generations.

The truth is… our pets are never able to stay long enough and the anticipatory grief we experience when we know that good-bye is near is devastating. I believe that everyone should have a beautiful portrait of their best friend to cherish for a lifetime.
