This beautiful, photogenic bunch had the same dream. Several of these grown kiddos live out of state, now, so Nana and Papa rented a place up in Union Pier (oh, Pure Michigan, I love you so), to spend the whole week together. Nana told me as soon as we started the walk to the beach, “I am so glad we did this!” You will NOT regret taking the time out of your trip to capture the right-now details of your family. Promise.

Life’s most precious moments often happen in the in-between: the giggles, the snuggles, the silly chaos of everyday family life. As a South Bend photographer, I specialize in capturing the beauty of your “right now,” so you can treasure it forever.

Do you use the same research plan to find a photographer for all your other stages of life? Finding the right family photographer is just as important as finding the right wedding photographer. The research can add up to be quite a bit of work, especially when looking for separate newborn photographers, family photographers, senior photographers and extended family photographers. Ugh…
