Chris and Kayla's beach engagement session at St. Joe, MI was a dreamy combination of golden hour light, the serene beach backdrop, and their undeniable chemistry. As avid kayakers with a deep connection to the water, this session captured the essence of their love story. Join me in celebrating their journey toward forever with a few of my favorite moments from their shoot!

An early morning family session on Lake Michigan made for the easiest, most beautiful family pictures. The Busch family gathered from all over the country for their vacation, and their perfect coordination and the stunning beach backdrop made for some truly memorable shots.

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.
