We do! We love exploring adventurous locations across West Michigan. Sessions within a 30-mile radius of Alpine Township, MI will not incur any travel fees. Locations outside of this radius are subject to a travel fee of $1.00 per mile.

Our sessions are exclusively on-location. As a

Grand Rapids family photographer, we believe in using the stunning natural beauty of West Michigan as our backdrop, from vibrant downtown murals to serene parks and beaches. This creates a more authentic and personalized setting for your story.

Not a problem at all! We are always scouting for great locations and will provide plenty of suggestions based on the style and vibe you're envisioning. During our consultation, we will work together to choose the perfect location for your session.

The most important thing is to wear something you feel comfortable and confident in. We recommend choosing coordinating colors rather than matching outfits. Neutral tones, soft colors, and earthy shades almost always photograph beautifully outdoors. Once you book, we will send you a detailed style guide to help with your wardrobe planning.

For that beautiful, warm glow, we love shooting during "golden hour," which is the period shortly after sunrise or before sunset. The light is soft and flattering. However, we are flexible and will work with your schedule, especially when coordinating around nap times for little ones, to find the best time.

Absolutely! Unless the specific location has restrictions, we would love for you to bring your pet. They are part of your family, and we enjoy incorporating them into your session to capture your complete story.

You will receive your final, edited gallery of images within 2 weeks of your session date.

Your high-resolution images will be delivered through a private online gallery where you can easily download your files and share them with family and friends. We often send a sneak peek within a couple of days of your session to give you a preview!

Yes! You can order professional quality prints, canvases, and custom designed albums directly through your online gallery. We partner with top tier professional labs to ensure perfect color accuracy and archival quality, so your heirlooms will last a lifetime.

We will absolutely reschedule if it is raining heavily or if there are other unsafe conditions like extreme heat or high winds. Cloudy days, however, often provide beautiful, soft light, so we will typically proceed with sessions on overcast days. If we need to reschedule due to weather, we will provide a rain date to photograph within 7-10 days of the original date.
