Owen is one of the kindest seniors you’ll ever meet. This season was one for the books-his team make it to states for the FIRST TIME in DHS history, and he played a big part in it! 🔥

He isn’t really a fan of having his picture taken, yet look what a natural he is. We laughed, we found the best light, he rocked the whole session….and then? Straight to brownies + ice cream. All about the right priorities. 🙌🍨

Here’s to a senior year full of big wins, good friends, and even better dessert at the end!

You know how they say, “Post a lot so it looks like you’re busy?” Well, I haven’t been posting consistently because, well, I’d rather go take a nap. That’s what busy looks like sometimes. 😂 As much as my social media misses me (I don’t think it misses me that much) it’s the nap that’s going to help my brain function better and give these drooping eyes a little more life.

But this fall has been amazing in many ways. I’ve been so busy that it’s literally the most exhausted I’ve ever felt, but also the most incredible to date. Instead of choosing social media for connection, I intentionally made the choice to focus on in-person connection more. Being a one woman show, that means some things slide off the high priority list- for me that’s social media. I value real relationships so much more, so this side of the coin is going to take a backseat and I’m ok with that. I want to be the best I can for my clients, and this is part of that.

But I’m still here- as busy as ever! Doing what I love, but also focusing on what matters most to me. People.

Hopefully soon I’ll be able to share the craziness of our year and the rollercoaster ride it has been, but for now- here’s some eye-candy of Michigan’s beautiful fall with a stunning family.

Many have heard about the shooting and fire at one of our churches here in Michigan. This is probably the fastest way to let you know that our family is safe. This is about 90 minutes from our home. Our hearts are broken and very tender as we reach out to our friends in Grand Blanc - wondering what we can do, how to help while praying for miracles.

We were in our own stake conference where the focus of our meeting and the focus of the previous months have been to Love Your Neighbor. Just imagine if we all did that...things like this wouldn’t be in the news.

The words of our sweet prophet, Pres. Nelson, (who passed just yesterday), rings loudly in my heart today:
“Brothers and sisters, we can literally change the world—one person and one interaction at a time. How? By modeling how to manage honest differences of opinion with mutual respect and dignified dialogue.

If you are serious about helping to gather Israel and about building relationships that will last throughout the eternities, now is the time to lay aside bitterness. Now is the time to cease insisting that it is your way or no way. Now is the time to stop doing things that make others walk on eggshells for fear of upsetting you. Now is the time to bury your weapons of war. If your verbal arsenal is filled with insults and accusations, now is the time to put them away. You will arise as a spiritually strong man or woman of Christ.”

Praying for our friends, neighbors, and family in Grand Blanc and across the world - as we are all family. We pray for miracles, peace, and love for our neighbors. Do something nice for someone else today! Love one another. Then keep loving more and never stop. Run to Jesus Christ because he is the source of true joy.

Happy Friday the 13th and Happy Anniversary to us! We got married on Friday the 13th, so today seems one of those super fun days that good things happen. People thought we were crazy to choose this day, but now we’re just superstitious that these Fridays bring the best life has to offer.

Things I’ve learned from 17 years of marriage:
- You have to always prioritize each other, or else…one day… you won’t.
- Communication is the best thing Brian taught me. It’s the key to our marriage.
- A spouse who makes fun of your snoring….guess what…the day will come when they snore too.
- Old habits die hard and the upbringings run strong. I keep telling him Cincinnati chili will kill him and yet….he still eats it with joy. 🤢
- Even when you don’t have a ton in common, people can work so well together. We don’t have a ton of the same interests, but what we have in common are the foundational things that matter. This is why I outsource his boardgame playing to Tuesday nights with his friends.
- One parent needs to be reasonable when the other is not. Disruption of this balance is no bueno. Let chaos reign. 😬
- Staying up late is still fun, but the next day isn’t as exhilarating.

Even after 17 years he follows me around like not much time has passed. Grateful for all the years past and all the years ahead!

🎓 What Should Senior Guys Wear for Photos?
It’s a question I get all the time—and good news, you don’t need a closet full of options. Three well-chosen outfits can tell your whole story:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👕 1. Casual & Cool: Think jeans or joggers with a fitted tee or flannel. This is your “everyday look” — relaxed but put together.
🏈 2. Hobby-Inspired: Whether it’s a jersey, guitar, skateboard, or your favorite car, bring what you love. This outfit shows who you are beyond the classroom.
🤵 3. Classic Suit: You can’t go wrong with a tailored suit or blazer. It’s timeless, bold, and makes your photos look like they belong in a magazine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we plan your session, I’ll help make sure your outfits work together and look amazing in your final gallery. Let’s make senior year look as good as it feels.

A little vulnerable post here. I don’t like being vulnerable, but I think it makes us all just a little more real. Right?

I broke down in ugly sobs to my mom on Monday on how maybe I should say goodbye to my business. Not because I don’t love it because I absolutely do. But- I will say that having your feet in two or more camps can feel like a constant state of failure in all of them.

I want to be an excellent mother, but my mind is always on how to make my business succeed. I want to level up, push my limits, do the hard things that provide a better experience and service. Those things come with sacrifice, difficult sacrifice, because you don’t know how you’ll end up on the other side. So many hats to juggle.

I want to be an incredible photographer and be super business savvy, but I feel the constant pull of my family. Make better meals- get those kids healthier. Play board games with one, painting nails with another, learning how to read with more, catching up with spelling for another, and giving endless hugs for the last one. Navigate changing bodies and friendships. Help them form their mind about the world. Find joy in living a Christ centered life and guide them through the challenges they’ll face. Parenting has a lot of hats.

Add church callings, friendships, exercise, cooking, piles of laundry, personal study, and sleeping- it’s a wonder how we all accomplish so much!

So it came down to crying about it, giving myself a second to breathe, (a pity party really), a couple of pep talks, and getting up to a new day.

Just so happened that yesterday was a last minute call to take photographs for a sobbing mom who lost her pre-term baby and how she just wanted professional photos of her beautiful little boy. I’m so grateful I could go. On a day where I felt this weight of “do professional photos even matter to anyone anymore?” I felt a very real sense of- sometimes this is all people have of people they love.

It brought me back to the deep realization of why I do what I do. It’s all about love and all about people.

I just have to remember we do all of this one day, one step at a time.

I went to a leaders connect meeting this morning at and absolutely loved it. Loved connecting with others, sharing experiences and things we were learning about ourselves and our amazing presenter, Ari. Definitely coming back for more.

How much Ari reads has made a huge impact on me. Look at these books! His love of books is incredible and his ability to share life lessons from the quotes he has internalized over a lifetime of reading is inspiring!

I feel like this picture tells such a beautiful story of one man’s search for knowledge and truth. From post-it notes, Zingerman’s branded cards, torn paper, pens, or markers- these books have been with him everywhere. From the bulging, but not broken binding, his life lessons have been taken care of, internalized, and a source of reference for what looks like years.

I came away from this meeting just so appreciative of people. The people we build our lives with are what matter. They’re what makes the biggest difference and impact on our lives. Nothing matters more than the people around us. ❤️
