Perreault Family | Suttons Bay
It was an honor to photograph the Perreault Family in Suttons Bay. They were staying at a gorgeous property on the beach, and the kiddos enjoyed splashing in the water at the end of their session.

Whitbeck Family Portraits
It was a beautiful morning to wander down to the lake to capture the Whitbeck family. After some formal portraits, we stuck around as the family prepped their breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes outside.
It was a beautiful morning to wander down to the lake to capture the Whitbeck family. After some formal portraits, we stuck around as the family prepped their breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes outside. Little hands reached in to help their grandma stir and pour the batter while other hands snuck a few chocolate chips here and there. Meanwhile, a small game of kicking around a volleyball was happening along the shore and thankfully it only managed to splash into the water a few times. We packed up our gear, said goodbye to the family, and left as they all dug into a sweet breakfast together. We love capturing moments and memories amongst family.
Elk Rapids Family Portraits
It was a beautiful day for these Elk Rapids Family Portraits. The sun was shining and the kids were excited and full of energy. You can see their goofy energy in the photos, partially prompted by us to 'tickle one another' or 'wrestle with dad'.
Elk Rapids Family Portraits
My Uncle and Aunt come up to Michigan from Tennessee about two times a year. Usually once around Christmas. The other time is sometime in the summer, usually around the 4th of July. When they come to visit in the summertime, we usually hang out with them at the lake house in Elk Rapids. It's the perfect, peaceful, vacation spot with a beautiful lake access and open backyard.
They were here this year for the 4th again and it reminded us of last year. It was a beautiful day for these Elk Rapids Family Portraits. The sun was shining and the kids were excited and full of energy. You can see their goofy energy in the photos, partially prompted by us to 'tickle one another' or 'wrestle with dad'. The last series of the kids is our favorite though. On the count of three, we told them to run toward the camera as fast as they could.
We love when kids can be kids during family portraits. We get to witness and capture their joy and authentic selves. But don't worry, we also make sure to get those 'frame-worthy' smiling at the camera photos too! And trust us, the kids are a lot more willing to smile when they know they can be goofy for the next photo!
