Keweenaw PORTRAIT Sessions
I’ve been told more than once that I have a knack for putting people at ease.
I’m the friend that people feel comfortable confiding in, and I tend to make strangers feel like old friends.
I think this natural ability has served me well in my photography business. Over the years, I’ve found that many people are nervous or even scared of having their photo taken. My goal is to change that perception, and show people that it can be fun!
I want my clients to walk away from our session feeling confident and beautiful- and like they had a great time. That’s why I take a natural, storytelling approach to my portrait sessions. I focus on creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, where we can just hang out and forget about worries.
Sessions take place outdoors in some of the most beautiful locations on the Keweenaw Peninsula.

SESSION ADD-ONS
custom designed Album
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but there’s something to be said for a physical photo album that you can hold in your hands and page through at your leisure.
Each album is one-of-a-kind and crafted by hand, with 50 photos and 20 pages. You’ll get to see a virtual preview of your album before it goes to print, with up to three revisions at no cost!
SLIDESHOW
Music has the power to evoke strong emotions and memories. It can take us back to a specific moment in time and help us to relive the associated feelings. A custom slideshow set to music is the perfect way to relive your cherished portrait session moments. So take a trip down memory lane and relive your best moments with a custom musical slideshow.

Absolutely! If there’s anyone who understands feeling awkward in front of a camera it’s me! I’d say most of the people I photograph feel the same way as you in the beginning. All it takes is for us to get to know each other a little better and you’ll see this is much easier than you might think. I’ll provide easy guidance and direction for you to interact with each other. Just remember that I’m a professional and that you can trust 100% in the process!
You’ll receive a link to a beautiful, private online gallery that you can easily share with anyone you’d like! The online gallery makes it simple to view and download all of your images and GIFs, and includes an online store where you can order gift prints, wall art, albums, and more!
*You will need a computer to download your photos in high-resolution. The gallery has limited capabilities on phones & tablets.
You will be able to purchase prints, albums/books, wall art, and other print items from right within your online gallery!
The prints and products I offer in your online gallery are of professional quality and are crafted here in the US by my lab partners. When you order items from my shop, you get the best archival quality you can get! Prints are guaranteed for 100+ years not to fade or discolor. The papers and inks used are of exceptional quality.
I specialize in outdoor, storytelling photography, so I don’t book a lot of newborn sessions. When I do newborn sessions, they are either outdoors or in your home, in natural light, and documentary-style (minimal posed shots). If you’re interested, I can give you more info or I can refer you to another amazing newborn photographer!
