FAMILY

Family, it's literally everything in my book. As an only child I was raised to be close to my cousins, aunts and uncles.

My grandparents were a huge part of my life until my mid-40's. Lucky. I was also blessed to have a grandmother who understood the importance and value of the 'Family portrait' . Photography is in our DNA. My Great-Great Grandfather and his son, both were very accomplished portrait photographers in their era. I am proud of this fact, it explains my drive to capture beautiful images. I literally see things in "pictures". My goal as your family photographer is to capture your images, not just posed and proper, but also in a natural lifestyle setting. So, from beaches, and wooded paths, to adventures on the dunes of Northern Michigan, or a stroll downtown Traverse City or any of the surrounding villages what do you want your family portraits to look like?
