Family photos don’t need to be complicated.
My family lifestyle sessions are a laidback photo session experience that will provide family memories true and genuine to who you actually are and what you prioritize. I have a passion for finding joy and giving families physical proof of their memories — the sweet moments, the messy ones, and especially the silly.
Just being together is your greatest joy – let’s take the time to celebrate it!
Together let’s create joy-saturated, storytelling images that will make your heart smile every time you see them displayed in your home. I’m a photographer who prioritizes joy and connection over perfectionism. You will never hear me tell your kids to “say cheese.” I can’t want to help you slow down and celebrate the good in your life.
A Full Session is an unrushed hour, giving ample time for a wide variety of poses, candids, freedom and time to explore and play (and take breaks as necessary). Choose your location from my list of favorite Ann Arbor spots, or a location of your own choosing that sparks joy and feels like home.
A Half Session is available on select dates and locations throughout the season. With 25 minutes in front of my lens, Half Sessions are a suitable option for smaller families, families with older children, and past clients familiar with my photographic style. Half sessions aren’t about getting it all; they’re about making space for the good stuff. If you’re wondering which session option is right for you, just ask!
in front of my lens you will:
Play • Snuggle • Laugh
After your session, I’ll send a private sneak peek to your inbox within a week, and a thoughtfully curated gallery that tells the full story of your session (often 80+ images for full sessions; around 30-40 for half). Your secure online gallery of hi-res images will be available for 4 months to view, download, order and share images – and the session price includes the printing rights to all images received.
I’m an “all-inclusive” photographer which means you don’t just have to pick your favorites from the gallery. It’s all yours! Photos will mean different things when you look at them years down the road, and you shouldn’t have to predict that now.
In a world where time is so often stolen away by distractions, I’m passionate about helping busy moms reconnect with their family in a relaxed environment, so that together we can create a beautiful snapshot of this season, savored and shared for generations.
Hi, I'm Abi.
I’m a chronic list-maker, so it only makes sense to share one with you here. Four things that spark life in me, that fill my cup, and make me a better version of myself.
1. Family togetherness, kindred spirits, and heart-level connections.
2. Celebrating milestones and achievements, no matter how seemingly small.
3. Creating, whether with my camera or with words or in a Project Life album or sometimes even in the kitchen.
4. Finding peace in the chaos to rest and worship my beautiful Savior.
