Merritt & Grace Photography

Merritt & Grace Photography Upper Michigan Photographer I am back and ready to capture memories and pause time in this busy inpatient world.

My name is Sarah, I’m a daughter of the one above, a wife, mother, nurse, Hunter, outdoor lover, homebody, cooking enthusiast and out of joy a photographer! Here is a little about me:

The fall has me outside with my husband upland hunting, winter I am indoors mostly � but I am taking up cross country skiing, summer we love beaching it up, gardening, and chasing adventures, springtime I am readyin

g my garden (my happy place)! Photography has been in my heart for since I was 14 years old when I got my first manual Nikon camera (I am 38 now), I started my business 15 years ago with a break until 2022. I made a major move with my husband to the UP from the metro Detroit area, went to nursing school and had both my babies during my break. I am looking forward to what is to come and appreciate everyone that trusts me to do just that for them �

When was the last time your whole family was together?

Not just for a quick photo…
but truly together.

Generational sessions capture something rare:
Grandparents, kids, and grandkids—all in one place, at one time.

These aren’t just photos.
They’re your family’s story—past, present, and growing.

I guide the entire process:
✔ Individual families
✔ Grandparents with grandkids
✔ Full group portraits
✔ Natural, candid moments in between

So you walk away with a gallery that feels complete.

If you’re planning a trip, reunion, or have everyone in town—
this is the perfect time to make it happen.

📩 Reach out and let’s start planning your session

Marquette isn’t just a place… it’s a feeling.

It’s home.
It’s wild and peaceful all at once.
It’s wind in your hair and laughter you can’t hold in.

For some families, it’s more than a destination—
it’s tradition.

A place you grew up visiting…
and now your kids get to do the same 🤍

This session felt like that.
Windy. A little wild. Completely perfect.

Squeezing in close.
Laughing with Grandma and Grandpa.
Silly smiles you can’t stage.

These are the moments that matter.
The ones you’ll come back to years from now.

This is why I love what I do.

If you’re visiting, celebrating, or just soaking in a season of life—
I’d love to capture it for you.

I’m back home after being gone for a week! I spent the week at Great Lakes Institute of Photography (GLIP) learning the art of creating composites with an incredible teacher, Richard Sturdavent.

My goal going into this was to grow my skills in sports photography and compositing, and I can honestly say I learned more than I ever imagined possible.

It was challenging, and there were definitely moments I thought I may have bitten off more than I could chew… but wow, was it rewarding. My Photoshop skills expanded so much this week, and I left feeling inspired, motivated, and excited to create.

If you’re a photographer wanting to grow, learn, and challenge yourself, going to GLIP is something you need to do!

And what were the odds? In a group of fewer than 50 people from all over the country, I met someone who lives just a couple miles down the road from me. Such a small world.

I can’t wait to bring what I’ve learned back to Marquette and start creating more sports and composite images here at home. ❤️

has been such an amazing group to be a part of. They’ve been incredibly welcoming, and I’ve learned so much through these workshops. They’ve expanded my knowledge and creativity in ways I wouldn’t have experienced otherwise.

This set with Ashton was created in a hotel hallway — proof that not every location needs grandeur. A little handheld light, natural light, and the right aperture can completely transform a scene.

To help tell the story, I asked him to portray someone finally at the end of a journey — sitting in reverie, feeling contentment, but still carrying the quiet “what ifs.” I think he captured that emotion perfectly.
