Dear Michigan Moms: Why These Moments Deserve to Be Captured

Hey, mama. We see you!

You’re juggling schedules, managing back-to-school chaos, probably reheating your coffee for the third time – and still somehow remembering picture day at school. You’re doing a lot (and doing it really well).

And in the middle of all of that, it’s so easy to think:

“We’ll schedule family photos next season.”

Or… “I’m not in the mood to be in front of the camera.”

Or even… “The kids are too wild right now, it’s not worth it.”

But we’re here to say something you might need to hear:

📸 You don’t need perfection. You just need real. 

Because This Season of Life Is Beautiful

Whether you’re in the sticky toddler years, navigating big kid independence, or launching your oldest into senior year – these moments are fleeting. And they deserve to be remembered.

  • The missing teeth
  • The mismatched outfits your kid had to wear
  • The way they still hold your hand when no one’s looking
  • The laugh your teenager only does when they forget to be cool

Photos don’t just freeze time, they give it back to you later.

You Live in One of the Most Beautiful States in the Country (Yes, Really)

Michigan is a photographer’s dream – from golden fall leaves in Kensington Metropark to snowy magic in Northville to sandy summer evenings along the lake. No matter the season, there’s a stunning backdrop just waiting for your family.

Not sure where to go? We’ve scouted the best local photo spots in Metro Detroit and beyond (and can help you pick the perfect one).

You Deserve to  Be in the Photos, Too

We know. You don’t love how you look in selfies. You’re waiting until you’ve lost 10 pounds or gotten your roots touched up. But here’s the truth:

Your kids want to see you in the photos.

Not because your hair was perfect or you wore the right outfit… but because you were there. Laughing, snuggling, chasing leaves with them in the park.

You’re part of their story. Let’s make sure you’re in it.
