Family Pictures on the Sandy Shore | Mishawaka Family Photographer
This family is the best. Each and every one of them is sweet, and theyโre raising their children right. Itโs always a joy working with such a great group of people.

Outfit Tips for Family Sessions
When mom contacted me about family photos, she immediately mentioned needing help with outfit selections. Little did she know, she did an excellent job on her own! While shopping, she texted me pictures of shoes, outfits, and even asked about undershirts and socks! If you ever feel unsure about any of your choices when picking outfits, don't hesitate to askโIโm happy to help. My biggest piece of advice is to try everything on well ahead of the session to ensure that you feel comfortable. If youโre uncomfortable, it will show in your photos, and we want you to love every picture!

When I found out that this familyโs favorite hiking spot was also one of mine, I knew we had the perfect location for their session. Itโs a place that offers both a short hike and a scenic backdrop with sand, water, and grassesโjust the perfect combination for family photos. It was a bonus that her hike-in shoes perfectly matched her dress!

Local Beach Look Without the Long Drive
If you love the beach look for your family photos but donโt want to drive the hour to Lake Michigan, Iโve got the perfect solution. Right here in Mishawaka, we have a beautiful, local spot thatโs ideal for family pictures. Just a short, scenic hike, and youโll have everything from sandy shores to grassy areas for a variety of stunning backdrops. Your kids might even get the chance to spot a deer, swing on a rope swing, or skip some rocks in the water.
Enjoy some of my favorite shots from this springtime session on the sandy shore.
