Hello There,
I am a professional photographer that is located in Northern Michigan’s beautiful sunrise side of Alpena, Michigan. I specializes in maternity, newborn, baby, and children’s styled portraiture. I have pursued photography most of my life, however, my two children are the foundation of my photography obsession. If there is one thing I have learned is that memories fade, but photographs capture precious moments in time with images that will beautifully chronicle your family's story and will be treasured for years to come.
I have spent many hours attending photography classes, both online and by traveling to hands-on workshops and conferences all over the United States. I find that taking classes and attending workshops regular helps me be at my best to create the custom images and beautiful memories that my clients deserve. I would be honored to create a custom session that will document your legacy with professional photographs and give your family beautiful lasting memories
