Northern Michigan Portraits | a13 Creative
Northern Michigan portraits that make people say, “That is sooooo you!”
Whether it’s senior portraits that scream your personality, family sessions full of real laughs and hugs, engagement photos that capture the butterflies, or couples celebrating your love story—I got you.
I create a relaxed, fun atmosphere with gentle prompts so you can drop the stiff poses and just be yourselves. The result? Authentic images you’ll actually love hanging on your wall or scrolling through years from now. Based in East Jordan and shooting all over Northern Michigan (Charlevoix, Traverse City, Petoskey, and beyond), let’s make your portraits feel like pure magic.
What Makes These Northern Michigan Portraits Special
- Zero judgment, LGBTQ+ welcoming—every story celebrated
- Gentle guidance for natural candids + posed shots
- Digital gallery + print/album options

Contact Me.
I can’t wait to start talking details about your Northern Michigan portrait session! But friend, the ball is in your court…you gotta click below to connect!
02
Consultation.
I love getting to know my clients and THIS is when we get to talk about all the details of your session. Outfits, locations, times—OH MY! Haha, no but really, we’ll get down to the nitty gritty so I can capture your vision behind my lens.
03
Session.
This is when we get to have FUN together. I’ll give you prompts to capture those candid moments and guide you through poses for the more formal looks. And somehow, I become the biggest dork—which I promise will put your nerves at bay, make you laugh authentically, or both (it’s actually both).
04
Reveal.
One of my favorite things is the “big reveal.” Ah, friend! We get to obsess over your images together. I usually schedule these 7-10 days after your session so I can handpick my favorites first (trust me, it is NOT an easy job) and do some initial post-processing. After our reveal meeting (in person or virtual), I’ll add any requested final touches to your selected images. Then I’ll process any orders (albums, prints, etc.) you might want.
