    Born and raised in Michigan, art has always been my passion. I love creating personalized portrait artwork for my clients. My husband and I, along with our baby boy and two cats, know from our own experience that memories are important. We would love to help you plan your next portrait!

Outdoors Family Portrait :: The SB Family

The SB family commissioned me to do an extended family portrait late this summer. Their flower gardens were in full bloom, and everyone, including Chili the dog, did a great job of sitting for this series of family pictures. It’s always lovely to do portraits like this, particularly when you can include three generations in the family picture. While the weather was warm… it was also beautiful… and we ended up with some beautiful family portraits for the SB family to display in the stairway of their home, among other places!

C+I :: Newlywed Portraits

This summer I photographed a pair of happy newlyweds — and rather than document their wedding, we planned a fun outdoors wedding portrait session. While the sun made for a hot day, I’m glad that we didn’t see any rain clouds!

Congratulations C + I… I love the storybook album we designed using all the wonderful portraits from your session at Gallup Park, and I can’t wait to help you select your favorite one to be made into a wall portrait!

A’s Infant Portraits

Baby A. and her parents came in this summer for her newborn portraits! She was such a good baby; aside from not wanting to fall asleep, we had no trouble creating these lovely portraits of the happy new family. This one (below) will look especially nice as a wall portrait on display in their home… believe it or not, the portrait looks even better in black and white!

It will be fun to see how much she grows in the coming months:)…they grow all too quickly, don’t they? Here are some other images from A’s newborn session (I designed a custom album with many of these portraits, which I’m sure the whole family will enjoy!).
