the zemens family

When I first became a photographer Lauren Zemens was one of my favorite photographers in Michigan! I dreamed of one day my photos would look as good as hers.

You could only guess my excitement when she first contacted me to photograph HER FAMILY!

It has been an amazing experience watching her gorgeous family grow over the last year. Next time I see them we will be welcoming their newest member into the family and I absolutely cannot wait!

mia

Oh Mia, you are one gorgeous babe. I had the best family session with the Bavarskas family, what a better way to celebrate a first birthday than in a field with a cake your auntie made you. I love Maria rocking that baby bump too. Here are a few of my favorites!2018-07-10_00032018-07-10_00042018-07-10_00052018-07-10_00062018-07-10_00072018-07-10_00082018-07-10_00092018-07-10_0010

the gray family

Have you ever seen such a gorgeous family?! It was such a pleasure meeting all five of these amazing people. In every newborn session I include b&w and color images but I am just loving the simplicity of the black and white. Here are some of my favorite with the gray family._I3A2045-2_I3A2063-2_I3A2077-2_I3A2082-2_I3A2157-2_I3A2346-2_I3A2376-2_I3A2430-2_I3A2451-2_I3A2509-2_I3A2569-2_I3A2584-2_I3A2615-2_I3A2636-2_I3A2647-2_I3A2653-2_I3A2656-2_I3A2663-2_I3A2666-2_I3A2674-2_I3A2681-2_I3A2684-2_I3A2718-2_I3A2719-2_I3A2727-2_I3A2732-2_I3A2733-2_I3A2755-2_I3A2756-2

the leath family

Family sessions are a favorite of mine. I love seeing everything come together; the outfits, location, sun, and families. It is the best when people really let loose and have fun during their session and this family did just that. Here are a few of my favorite from my family session with the Leath family..
