Engagement sessions are a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day.

Great blue Heron - they’re the largest North American heron species and also my favorite! They’re very statuesque and seem so regal and elegant. Follow me for more of my wildlife photography posted daily!

I’m not here to put you in a weird pose you’ll hate later. I’m here to give you something you’ll actually want to print.
Last few spots for beach minis. Let’s make it count.

I’ve got a couple beach mini spots left for this weekend — and I’d rather be out there shooting than sitting around.

So here’s the deal:

If you’re already booked (or thinking about it), and you get a friend to book one of the open slots too, you’ll both get $25 off.

That’s $75 each for a quick 15-minute session, 10 edited photos, up to 5 people — right at Bay City State Park.

Just shoot me a message before they book so I can apply the discount.

There’s always a reason to wait — weight loss, hair grows back, schedules suck. But these people in your life right now? They won’t be the same next summer. Take the photo.
Beach minis. Short, simple, and worth it.
