There’s something about spring in Michigan that makes everything feel fresh again…flowers bloom, summer clothes resurface, and suddenly the calendar starts filling up with all the good things: soccer games, BBQs, and…family photos!

Springtime also means we’re heading into our busiest season, and that’s your friendly nudge that now is the time to start thinking about your summer or fall family session. Whether you’re picturing golden hour laughter in a local park or cozy cuddles at home with your little ones, we’ve got two session styles to match your vibe:

Signature Session

Perfect for families who want beautiful, meaningful photos without blocking off a whole afternoon. These 45-minute sessions are efficient and fun – designed to get a variety of family combos and natural moments, all in some of our favorite spots in Clarkston or Northville.

Here’s what’s included:

• 45-minute session with Christine or Meghan
• Choose from 6 handpicked locations (like Maybury Park, Kensington, or downtown Clarkston)
• 20 high-res edited images of your choice
• 3-month online gallery + instant download

Think of this as the “let’s get it done (and love it)” option—short, sweet, and full of heart.

Storytelling Session

If you’re dreaming of a more relaxed, creative experience, the Storytelling Session is where the magic happens. With up to 2 hours to play, explore, and settle in, these lifestyle sessions are perfect for capturing your family’s unique story.

What’s included:

• 1.5–2 hour session at any location within an hour of our photographers
• 45 high-res edited images of your choice
• 3-month online gallery + instant download
• A complimentary slideshow (perfect for sharing with grandparents!)

You can choose a meaningful location—like your backyard, your favorite hiking trail, or even a cozy morning at home. If you need help with locations, we have tons of suggestions. Bring a picnic, a game, or just yourselves. We’ll guide you through the whole process and capture a blend of posed and candid moments.
