{Baby Bump | Baby Brother E}

{alden, michigan | June 2021}

Carter is getting a baby brother!

I’m so glad I got to meet this cute little family. I actually got in touch with them through one of Michelle’s friends. Michelle was looking for someone to take their maternity photos at their family cabin at Torch Lake, and I was so honored that they chose me. These two are about to have their hands full with two little boys but I know they are super excited. Congrats again to the Erickson Family!

{Union City Senior // Logan}

{chicago, il; union city, mi; traverse city, mi // july + september 2019}

I’ve known Logan her whole life, well because she’s my little sister. And she had the crazy idea to go to Chicago to take some of her senior photos. Which was fine with me since the last time I was there was when I was a kid. We were lucky because her dad’s brother lives there and took us around the town to the coolest places! The next day we drove back to her hometown and took her sports photos in the gym. A couple months later, she came up to Traverse City to take some fall photos.

Hard to believe my not-so little sister is graduating in the spring!

{Fowlerville Senior // Tyler}

[fife lake, mi // july 2019}

Tyler and his family are friends with my aunt and uncle who live down in Fowlerville. They have a cute little summer cabin on the river in Fife Lake and wanted to get Tyler’s senior photos taken there. At the end, Tyler jumped off the bridge into the river and I may have had to go into thigh deep water with leggings on to get the shot.

{Old Mission Peninsula Engagement // Emmy + Justin}

{traverse city, mi // july 2019}

These two were so great! We went out on a warm summer day up the Old Mission Peninsula. We stopped at Bonobo Winery first. What a beautiful place to start. Then we made our way up to the tippy top to the Old Mission Lighthouse. I was very surprised that there weren’t more people up there than there were. On our way back down the peninsula, we saw a random little barn with a couple of cherry trees so we decided to stop, and we may have stood in the middle of the road!

Just 2 short months until their September wedding!
