The Graduate Hotel at MSU campus in East Lansing is my new favorite venue. Whooooo. That felt bold to type. But it’s true. First off, the room decor was next-level maximalist – think textures and colors that were just plain swoon-worthy.

Now, let’s talk rooftop vibes! The Graduate Hotel boasts a killer rooftop bar, giving us the perfect spot for those nighttime shots against the twinkling East Lansing skyline. Plus, the ..read more

You can’t ask for a more lovely fall location than the Northfork Estate in Eaton Rapids, Michigan. Tucked away in fields and forest, the fall leaves were gorgeous!

Surrounded by the beauty of nature, we embarked on a delightful adventure: Tall reeds rustled in the breeze, a serene lake provided the perfect backdrop, and their cherished boat added a touch of nautical charm. But all of that means nothing without the most important part of the session: love. Cuddles, laughter, playtime.. I saw it all for what it is: the deep love of mom & dad with their little one.
