I have had Diane do the senior pictures for both of my children. She photographed my son three years ago. He is a bit shy and really did not want to get his picture taken, but in a matter of moments, Diane had him relaxed and really enjoying the experience. I couldn't have been happier with the end results. She photographed my daughter just last fall. Again, she had a way of getting her to relax and really enjoy the session. Diane had us smiling and laughing, while she efficiently went about her work. She encouraged us to pick some locations and then was able to be creative in using the backgrounds in a most interesting way. Once again, the results were beautiful. I am happy to recommend Diane to photograph your special occasion. She is professional, personable, creative and affordable. I think that you will enjoy the experience and the end results as much as I have.

Meg did our engagement and wedding pictures and we were incredibly impressed by her work. She was…read morereceptive, professional and creative as well as affordable. The picture quality was outstanding and the little touches she provided throughout the wedding made our day all the more special. She's clearly very experienced and talented but also excellent with people - fun, yet assertive when needed. We'd highly recommend Meg to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the Michigan area. Thank you so much for how much you contributed to our incredible wedding! Chris & Kelley Atiyah

My husband and I were absolutely blown away by how phenomenal our wedding and engagement photos…read morewere! Meg truly captured what it felt like to be in those moments (yet somehow leaving no trace of the cold or rain). My words can't do our appreciation justice. I feel like she just got it. We were married mid-day at Lane Road Beach in Port Oneida, MI, and Meg made sure things went off without a hitch. Not only did she wrangle our 3-year-old golden retriever (who was very upset he couldn't go into Lake Michigan), keep our 9, 7, and 6 year old ring bearers from picking poison ivy before the ceremony, roll with the fact that our officiant was 30 minutes late to the ceremony, she also brought the exact number of umbrellas we needed to keep our wedding party dry during rainy beach photos. When Meg emailed us our wedding photo previews (less than two weeks after the wedding -- this woman is a machine) she also informed us that she found two Petoskey stones at our wedding site, which she had made into charms so we could have mementos of our beautiful day. As we've shared our photos with our friends and family, we've received such compliments as "hands down the best wedding photos I've ever seen," "it's too bad you can't just hang 57 wedding photos in your house," and "I honestly just cannot believe there are so many good ones." And she was only with us for 2 hours! If you want someone who will ensure your day is incredible and give you the photos to prove it, book Meg. We can't wait to find a reason to work with her again in the future!

He did an outstanding job putting it all together in a video format that was unique and exceptional. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a specific and precise job to be done, as he is dependable, thoughtful and professional. The cost for this work was also within our budget and the quality was excellent. I will certainly use his services again in the future if needed.

The best of the best!!!…read more My husband and I dreamt of having our engagement photos taken at the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes and Pierece Stocking Drive, and when we found Rayan's portfolio we knew we had to meet her. Rayan is one of the most genuine people we have ever met. She is someone who honestly loves to capture moments of love. She gives back so much more than beautiful photos. Rayan gave us an experience we will never forget during our engagement session and her presence on our wedding day was exactly the kind of support we needed. We could not imagine anyone else navigating the day so closely with us. Rayan's work ethic and creativity is unrivaled, words honestly can't express how incredible her talent and personality are. We will always go to Rayan for life's precious moments. If you're thinking about meeting her for your wedding, do it. You won't be disappointed.

We began a strong work relationship and it didn't take long to develop into a genuine friendship. Micheal makes a great teammate; I had a tendency to shoot with no end in site and Michael was great at managing time and also conceptualizing idea's on the fly. Bringing the whole package to the table, Michael is one of the few creatives I have met who is equally talented in art direction and photography, possessing a diverse knowledge in all of the various photographic genres. Extremely easy to be around, smart and efficient with creative endeavors, I always look forward to working with Michael.
