Reminder …

08/02/2025

❤️ I’ve been going through a lot lately…and we all go through these moments at some point. Some days I feel invisible. Some days I wonder if anyone sees how hard I’m trying as a mom, as a person rebuilding, as someone chasing something that doesn’t always make sense to others.

And then this shows up.

A review from a client who didn’t just “like” her photos she said my work made her cry. That it was unlike anything she’s seen in the industry. That I’m a true master artist.

It’s not about the praise (though I won’t lie, it helps).

It’s about finally feeling seen for the heart I put into everything I create.

I’ve poured myself into this work. Through heartbreak, stress, fear, and so many nights wondering if it’s even worth it. But when I watch this film and when I read this I know I’m on the right path.

Thanks, Sara, for reminding me of what I bring to the world. 🙏

“You look happier.”

From moms who finally booked the session.
From dads who thought it would be awkward, but actually had fun.

From parents who are always behind the camera,
and finally stepped into the frame.

“You look happier.”

Yeah because for a moment,
the to-do list didn’t matter.
The chaos was captured as love.
The smiles weren’t forced.

This is what it looks like
when you’re not just surviving
you’re remembering why this season matters.

You deserve to be in the picture.
Let’s make something beautiful.

“You look happier.”

Let’s keep it that way.

Summer isn’t over yet..have you booked your family session?

✨ A little golden hour magic for this incredible senior ✨

We kept things simple no props, no fuss just a quiet evening in the flower fields with light that felt like it showed up just for us. She brought two effortlessly beautiful outfits, a warm smile, and the kind of energy that makes a session feel like a deep breath.

Heading into her senior year as captain of both swim and water polo, lifeguarding all summer long she’s strong, grounded, and absolutely radiant.

Thank you Aly for having me capture this special moment in your life for you and your family! 😄💕🌸

🌸Still thinking about booking a Mother’s Day shoot?

Follow this link: https://app.studioninja.co/online-booking/editor/51139/change/0a800fc8-8e7e-14dc-818e-8044cccd432b/sessions

This is your sign.Photos are happening soon (May 3), and yes you’ll have them before Mother’s Day. I got you babe! 😉

I built this entire set by hand:
7 giant paper flowers.
Each one has 14 hand-cut petals, 14sculpted leaves, wrapped and spray-painted with three layers, I used 2 rolls of tape, 50+ glue sticks, lots of wire, burned my fingers more times than I can count, and basically lived in a cloud of gray paper scraps for over 2 weeks lol.

Why?Because details matter and you deserve the best! This is the most detailed mini I’ve ever made.

There are bubbles for the kids, a breeze in the flowers, and a little magic waiting for you.Check your email later today if you’re a subscriber for a surprise.

Otherwise, grab your spot now in my bio link there’s only a few spots left that I can take. I wanna see your face in these photos.

You deserve to be seen. 😘📸

Warning: stillbirth and miscarriage….

"We found out at 38 weeks and 4 days that our baby had died inside of me. I knew immediately, more than ever, I wanted those photos."

🎉Oh yeah I know some of these people lol… I got the privilege of photographing a beautiful extended family today for Dougies surprise 75th birthday!

The kids came in from across the state and across the country. What made it even more special? This family has roots that run deep—neighbors, friends, the kind of people who feel like home.

One of my favorite moments was capturing the two granddaughters together, cousins who live far apart and don’t get to see each other often, but were completely in sync, laughing and playing like distance isn’t a thing.

This is just a little sneak peek… so much more love to share from this day….a bit cold but beauty do nonetheless.

Thanks Leonard’s and Ronzellos 😘📸

Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum: a quirky, magical piece of Michigan history that will soon say goodbye to its iconic home. While it may reopen in a new spot, it will never quite be the same. I’m so grateful to have captured this little time capsule of the place that held endless wonder and nostalgia. Here’s to the memories made within these walls.

📸🌲Another great session with the Soltesz family—oh, how many amazing shoots I’ve had with them over the years, and I don’t take a single one for granted. Here is baby Mara’s sneak peek…

This cozy, winter-inspired newborn shoot at home, every moment felt effortless. Deep greens, gold, and a subtle Christmas touch set the scene perfectly. Even with a house full of kids, energy, and chaos ….there is calm and peace with Miss Mara. What joy to photography this precious baby, congratulations everyone!

Welcome to the world, baby Mara Violet—you are the most perfect addition to the family. 💜

🖤If you’re dreaming of capturing moments like these for your family, I’d love to chat! You can see more of my work here: www.michelleannphoto.com

The Soltesz Family +1 sneak peek....

💙 Winter wrapped its arms around this growing family, turning the cold into something beautiful.

The kids were total troopers, braving the frost, snowflakes, and brisky winds! They were having so much fun that when it was over, they started crying. lol I’m hoping it’s because they didn’t want it to end but probably because they finally started to feel their hands again. 🤷‍♀️ 😜

These are the kind of sessions that remind me of why I love what I do — freezing time, even in the coldest moments, to celebrate the warmth of family and excitement of what’s to come.❄️✨ 🍼

Congratulations!
