MOMS! This blog post is for you. The bond between mama and child is like nothing else. I’ll be the first to tell you my mom is my best friend. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her love and support. Because of my relationship with my mom, I value motherhood sessions OH SO much. I want every mama out there to schedule a session with their little’s because YOU DESERVE IT.

You take care of everyone.
You don’t get sick days.
You work hard for your family everyday.
You deserve it.

Now that we have that established … This year motherhood sessions are taking place in the coziest, adorable studio in downtown Howell. Sessions will be 30 minutes in length and include digital images along with the cutest brag book (check it out below!!) Interested in reserving your spot?

When I first started exploring videography, I wasn’t sure what it would turn into. My passion remains with families. As I began learning more and more about family films, I only could describe this new venture one way - modern home movies. Because that is exactly what it is .. your family, in your home, making ordinary moments magical.

Thankfully, I have friends like the Dorchak’s. They are guinea pigs. And let me tell you - after this first film, I’m not stopping. We spent the afternoon playing, snuggling, and smashing cake (thanks Betty’s Bakes for both cakes!) Check out the video and photos from our lazy afternoon. Happy Birthday Reese! xo, k

Early bird gets the worm, am I right? There aren’t too many families that would pay me so they can wake up early, get all pretty, and meet me in the middle of a field by 7:45am. But I am oh so thankful this one did. 30 degree temps and a little frost on the ground didn’t stop the little one from shining (shout out to the unpredictable-as-ever Michigan weather). The sunrise was amazing and warm and perfect.

For those families who can’t quite make a sunset session, don’t forget how pretty sunrise can be.

I start off every photo session like this .. “hey guys, we’re going to do a few photos of everyone looking at the camera and then you’re not going to look at me again.” Throughout the session I am always reminding someone, “hey, can you look at your dad?” or “mom, look at your husband.” We are programmed to smile and look at the camera and it’s my job to stop that for an hour.

Yes, I try to capture that “Christmas Card” photo. It is usually the photo that grandma wants printed. But it is not my main goal. I go into every session hoping to capture you being you. Being silly, or happy, loving on each other, or whatever your family unit is showing me. Each family is unique and that is what makes this job fun.
