A few times a year I get to photograph graduates from some of our local schools, and as an alumni from WMU I love getting to photograph spring graduates on campus! Gabby here was so fun to work with and I'm so grateful I got to capture these portraits of her all over campus. Spring was really springing and we had to reschedule halfway through our first session because of all the wind, but on our second try our weather was so much better. Just a very small preview of our time together here:

First off- a big thank you to my 2024 clients - it was a busy and beautiful year of photographing you + yours. I have some exciting news to share - I’m expecting kiddo #2 this summer, so will be on a short maternity leave from mid-June through late August for 2025. I’ll be back in full swing for September. I want to make sure you have the chance to book your session before I go on leave (starting June 9th), or after I return. See the details here:​

✨ Spring Mini Sessions in May: I’m offering a limited number of mini sessions on Saturday, May 10th (Mother’s Day Weekend) to help you capture your family before a busy summer begins. If you’re gathering with family here in town that weekend, it’s a fun time to include grandparents in the fun! These sessions will be short and sweet! 15 minutes for $150. They’ll take place at Paw Paw Prairie Fen Preserve in Mattawan. Booking for these special mini sessions won’t open until March 1st. Keep an eye on my socials for that reminder, or send me a quick note here and I’ll be sure to include you in a separate email to remind you the day before booking opens.

🌟 Book Your Full Session Before I Leave: If you’ve been thinking about scheduling a more extensive family, senior, or maternity session for 2025, now is the time to book. I have limited availability through the first week of June before I take a break, so schedule soon! 

🎉 Don’t Worry—I'll Be Back in September! If you’re unable to book a session before my leave, don’t worry! I’ll be returning in September and will have plenty of openings for fall sessions. It’s the perfect time to get those updated back-to-school photos or family portraits in beautiful autumn light. 🍁

​I’m so grateful for your continued support, and I’m looking forward to working with you this year! Whether you book now or later, let’s make some memories together.

Al Sabo was the perfect woodsy setting for this sweet winter maternity portrait session! We were lucky to have a soft snowfall. We were unlucky in that it was about 25 degrees with a few windy moments- but they made the best of it!

Ivy was a delight to photograph! We hit up Heritage Hall and Asylum Lake for some late fall color for her senior portraits. I booked up early this year and am so so grateful for all of the seniors and their families who have trusted me to deliver a gallery of images they'll hopefully cherish for years to come. I've got one more senior session to go before I call it a wrap for the year!
