West Michigan Beaches
I am thrilled to be living my dream in rural Oceana County, with rolling hills of orchards, fields of asparagus and corn, farms dotting the landscape, and wildflowers blooming in all the ditches along the gravel roads.
But perhaps the best reason of all is our Big Lake. Within minutes of my home are several beaches, stretching from Whitehall to Silver Lake Sand Dunes to Ludington. Beyond this are more beautiful beaches in Muskegon, Manistee, and Point Betsy Lighthouse that would be an adventure to photograph with your family!
I want to inspire you to bring your family along with me to make unforgettable memories, so let me share 7 reasons why you should book your beach photo session.
Breathtaking Seascapes
Our Lake Michigan is known for its soft golden sand dunes, clear-blue waves, and picturesque sunsets. Walking along the shore, soaking in the sun's rays, and letting the breeze ruffle your hair will relax your family, creating a tranquil atmosphere to remember for years to come.
Oceana Country Parks & Beaches
From small and secluded townships parks to state parks to lighthouses and piers, I can guide you to the perfect beach for you! Flowing channels into the Lake, lush green dune grasses, and walking trails provide variety in our photos, along with quaint villages and bustling tourist towns.
Moody Beauty
Billowing clouds, storms rolling over, waves crashing down, fog setting over, the water softly lapping, or the breeze teasing your hair are just a few of the moods of the Big Lake. Whatever the weather, you are sure to have a unique collection of photos when you plan your session at the beach. Don't be afraid if the weather or season looks less than ideal. You just may be surprised at the outcome!
Genuine Moments
Digging bare toes into the sand.
Feeling the waves lick your legs and splash your belly.
Hearing the squeaky sand as you trek across the sandy beach.
The waves crashing so loudly that you can't hear anything else except the seagulls.
Strolling hand in hand with your child down the shoreline, exploring along the way.
Natural moments unfold before me as the Lake invites each of us to relax, to play, to laugh. Those are the moments when I snap my camera. You can just unwind and enjoy.
Family Fun
What kinds of games and activities does your family enjoy at the beach?
Do you like to build sandcastles? Bring your buckets and shovels.
Do you like to fly kites? Play frisbee or beach volleyball? Bring the fun along!
Maybe you'd rather pack a picnic or build a bonfire. Whatever you are inspired to do to build family memories for the evening!
Forever Memories
When we plan our session and put all of our ideas together, I want you to know that it's your experience that I want you to remember the most. Taking time to be together, leaving the hustle and bustle behind and relax with those you love will be what you remember the most. The pictures are just there to help you remember.
Quality Photos
Because I specialize in outdoor natural lighting and have studied many aspects of family photography, I am confident that I can bring you stunning images of your unique and wonderful family. You will treasure these photos and remember the joy your family experienced.
This is about more than photos. This is about you and your family. Going on an adventure together. Celebrating one another and seeing each other as special. The photos are just proof of what your family has already created. Let that love shine through.
