✨ 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! 😄💕🌸

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!

✨Sometimes the best memories aren’t made in picture-perfect places but in the ones filled with real life and a little bit of magic.

🐓I spent an evening with the Pierce family in Plymouth, soaking up the kind of joy that only happens when you’re surrounded by an old barn, friendly barn animals, and enough wildflowers to make you feel like a kid again. 🌻

There’s just something so special about watching little ones run free, sharing simple moments that you know they’ll carry with them. 🌱

Can’t wait to show you more from this beautiful day.

The slow flow of the shoot really gave the family and especially myself an opportunity to catch the in between moments and really create some art …when I say I can’t wait to show this gallery. I really can’t wait plus all the footage and video we got including some drone is going to be magical to say the least. Let the artist create art and that’s what you get.

These moments…☺️👌🏻💛💖

🌅 Sometimes, the light just hits right, and you go with it. We turned a family session into a mini ‘senior’ shoot for this beautiful soul – even though she’s not quite there yet!

Just couldn’t help myself; sometimes magic just happens.

I’ve loved capturing this family over the years, and this little preview is only a glimpse of the joy they bring to each session.

Their full gallery is in their hands now, and I can’t wait for them to relive these moments. ☺️

✨ I’ve been photographing the Gunn family for years, thanks to a friend’s referral, and every session with them feels like catching up with old friends.

From the first shoot when the kids were little to now, with their classic brother-sister banter, it’s been amazing to see them grow. At this last session, I even joked that they’re such well-behaved kids (though mom and dad immediately laughed). For this session we spent the evening wandering the woods, laughing as the kids tossed rocks back and forth with their parents….i guess that’s the not so well behaved part but it’s great for pics! lol

This first clip is just a glimpse—I’ve spent hours crafting the full video to capture the laid-back, fun spirit of this session. Swipe through to see some highlights, and I can’t wait to share the whole story with the Gunns soon.

These mini keep sake films are so amazing to have alongside a gallery of pics…I feel like it really compliments the stills. 🤩📸🎥

…until next time Gunn family here are your sneak peeks! 😎
