Story Book Collection
My Story Book collection features past and present clients who have trusted me to document meaningful moments throughout their lives. Each "chapter" (session) reflects a milestone of their journey in life. Being welcomed back into their lives and seeing them again to photograph these milestones is truly an honor, and I’m grateful to preserve their stories through timeless moments.
Emily + Trace
From their engagement photos in 2022, to their beautiful two-day wedding celebration in 2023, to maternity portraits in early 2025, and family photos in fall 2025—it has been such an incredible joy to document each and every chapter of their growing story.
Watching their journey unfold over the years and being invited back to capture so many meaningful milestones is truly special.
Getting to preserve these moments as their love and family continue to grow is something I’m so grateful for 🤍
Shelby + Mando
Shelby was my neighbor growing up, and we’ve been close ever since. From sleepovers and cheerleading to countless family events, we always got to see each other, along with her amazing family. So you can imagine how excited I was when she asked me to be her wedding photographer in 2021—and later trusted me again for family photos in 2024.
Ives Family
The sweetest family I’ve had the joy of knowing—and growing even closer to over the years. From instantly clicking with Mackenzie in 2022, to our husbands becoming great friends, to her sweet girls - whom I absolutely adore! This family is so much fun to be around, I’m honored to call them my friends.
I am so excited for the future and all their photo needs along the way <3
Lisa + Brandon
These two… oh my goodness—talk about cuteness! Their excitement and love truly shine as their family continues to grow, making this season such a special one to capture.
It was such a joy to reconnect for a mini family session in January 2026 to document their newest little addition.
Moments like these are a beautiful reminder of how meaningful it is to preserve growing families and all the love that comes with them 🤍
Cassidy 24' + Grace 25'
The sweetest sister duo and the coolest family! From Cassidy’s (class of 24') senior photos in August 2023—wrapped up with pizza at Burt Lake—to Grace’s (class of 25') senior session in fall 2024, complete with the most fun bright pink smoke bombs, it has been such a joy photographing this crew.
And the story isn’t over yet… I can’t wait for their family photos coming summer 2026!
Taylor + Chase
I first met Taylor in 2023 while working as her bridal consultant in Petoskey, and we instantly clicked—one of those connections that just feels easy and natural right from the start.
Since then, I’ve had the absolute sweetest time capturing so many special moments for her and Chase. From their sweet wedding in 2024 to a fun and heartfelt couples session in early Fall of 2025.
It’s been such a pleasure getting to document their story along the way!🤍
Emily
Amazing Emily first reached out for a branding session in 2024 in St. Charles, and I couldn’t have been more excited—photographing her in her element and capturing someone else’s passion felt especially meaningful, since photography is mine!
Later, she shared the exciting news that she was expecting and invited me back for her maternity session in 2025. Of course I said YES! 🤍
Shaya
Shaya (AKA Boss Babe!) reached out to me for a branding session for her business, The Beauty Room by Shaya, that she has been growing for the past 5 years. I loved capturing her space and meeting the incredible women who work alongside her. Not to mention the amazing atmosphere she created as soon as you walk in!
Later in 2025, Shaya invited me back to photograph her baby shower in Jan. 26'— it was such a special celebration filled with sweet moments. It was, without a doubt, the cutest shower ever!!
Miranda + Coleton
When Miranda first reached out for couples photos in 2024, she mentioned her love for plants and that's when I knew a greenhouse session would be perfect!
A year later, Miranda messaged me exciting news... They were expecting! To add to this excited, they were open to traveling to Petoskey for their session and I couldn't have been happier with how sweet and cool this was!
