Feel free to browse my website to learn more about planning your portraits, or click Contact Me to book your session today!. With a classic style, I create refreshing portraits that document real life. And not only is it important to capture your family as they grow, but also one day, your portraits will be as valued by the subjects as they were by you through the years.

I make you feel comfortable, not only in front of the camera, but also with me, so you can have images that show your true personality! I am easy to work with and will never rush you or make you feel pressured to do something you don't feel comfortable with. From my early days in the darkroom to working with digital images today, I remain a firm believer in the power of print.
Services
I have been a Northern Michigan portrait photographer for over 14 years and my favorite things to photograph are families and high school seniors! We've lived in our stone house for over 43 years. It started out as a cabin, but we've added on more than once, and it has become a 5 bedroom two-story house.
Linda was great to work with. We came to her with no experience in posing as a family as these are the first family portraits since my son was born. We all had fun and she is very easy to get along with. We love our pictures and will be returning! Thank you, again for a wonderful session! She did an amazing job on our pictures.
Your high school senior year is all about you, and that extends right into your high school senior pictures here in Northern Michigan! I block off up to 3 hours for my high school seniors, and up to 3 locations within 15 miles of West Branch, just so we can get you those unique images! Your high school senior pictures should show the real you!
Enjoy a relaxing fun session with the one you love! Your engagement or couples photography session will last up to 2 hours and can be done in locations that mean something special to the two of you! Some engagement session locations include golf courses, state parks, grassy fields, coffee shops, Dow Gardens, the Library or just in your own home.
Why hire a professional photographer for your outdoor Wedding and Micro-Wedding photography?. Wedding photographers are booked, up to a year in advance of the wedding date. Your outdoor wedding or micro-wedding photography is sometimes a big expense, but think of what you'll have left after the wedding.

Linda did an amazing job for our engagement and wedding photos. We are so grateful for everything she did and all the amazing moments she captured. Very professional with a great personality. We would absolutely recommend her!! We couldn't be happier with the photos. And how quickly she got them back to us. We even had an instance where we need some with a loved one sooner and she didn't hesitate, we had them right away!

Linda and her assistant were extremely professional and easy to work with. They made 13+ People in a family photo shoot seem easy. The photos turned out exceptional especially for the limited space available to us. Even amongst a pandemic and social distancing she made it all work flawlessly! Highly recommend! Our family has used her in the past for graduation photos and those are beautiful as well!

If I could give 6 stars, I would!! Linda did a fantastic job for our real estate photos. She got us an appointment right away, was very professional and personable doing the sessions. Her goal is definitely to satisfy the customer with amazing photos! I have no doubt our photos were the best on any real estate listing in the area & are what helped us sell our house! Linda had to visit twice to get inside & outside photos (due to weather) and she went out of her way to change our scheduled session when I had to cancel. I would not hesitate to recommend Linda for your professional photo needs. You

Her work is beautiful and she is so easy to work with. She has done senior portraits for all 4 of my children and each were unique and better than the one before. Can't wait to have her shoot our family photos next summer. Thank you Linda! You deserve 10 stars.

We live in the Ann Arbor area, but wanted my daughters senior pictures taken around our lake in Rose City. I contacted Linda and she explained everything to us promptly and professionally. When we met her for our session, she had really great ideas and had scoped our area out prior to our session. We loved the pictures that she took. My daughter was very comfortable with her and our whole family really enjoyed the session. We will definitely use Linda again for family photos.

Linda and her daughter were an amazing team! They rounded up my family and took beautiful pictures. We were very impressed with not only her patience, but ideas and suggestions for grouping of our children and grandchildren. The pictures absolutely met my expectations and much more. Thank you for a job very, very well done.. We would recommend Linda for a dedicated personal touch. She has a gift. Thank you, again!!
