As a lifestyle photographer here in Metro Detroit, my heart has always been rooted in one thing: creating bright, true‑to‑life images that feel honest, connected, and meaningful. Over the years, I’ve grown so much — not just in my work, but in the way I serve the families who trust me with their memories. And with that growth came something I felt deeply called to do: reduce my pricing for 2026.

This wasn’t a quick decision. It was something I prayed over, thought through, and felt God nudging me toward — a shift that allows me to serve more families while still honoring the value of the work I create.

Why I Chose to Lower My Pricing

Photography is a gift God placed in my hands, and I want to use it in a way that reflects Him. Over time, I realized something important:

I don’t want price to be the reason a family misses out on photos that matter.

I want my business to be built on:

Service
Stewardship
Accessibility
Obedience to God’s leading

Lowering my pricing allows me to:

Serve more families in my community
Make sessions more accessible for real, everyday budgets
Keep my business sustainable without overcharging
Honor God by using my gifts generously and intentionally

This isn’t about being the cheapest. It’s about being faithful — faithful to the families I serve and faithful to the calling God placed on my heart.

What You Still Get With Every Session

Even with reduced pricing, the heart of my work hasn’t changed. Every session still includes:

A relaxed, lifestyle‑focused experience
Gentle posing and natural prompts
True‑to‑life editing that keeps your skin tones clean and real
Location guidance
A full gallery of images — no hidden fees, no surprises

My goal is always to make your session feel easy, enjoyable, and meaningful.

📸 Updated Pricing for 2026

Here’s the new, simplified, more accessible pricing structure:

Family Sessions — starting at $200
Maternity Sessions — starting at $200
Milestone / Cake Smash — starting at $250
Portrait Sessions — starting at $200
Mini Sessions — starting at $150
Engagement Sessions — starting at $200
Weddings — varies based on package

This structure allows me to serve more families while still providing the same level of care, quality, and intention. As always, I also have payment plans, don't hestitate to ask!

Serving You Well Is Part of Serving Him

I believe God cares about how we treat people, how we show up, and how we use the gifts He’s given us. For me, photography isn’t just a job — it’s a way to:

Love families well
Capture the beauty God has placed in their lives
Create images that remind them of His goodness
Serve my community with honesty and integrity

Lowering my pricing is one way I can live that out. It’s my way of saying: I see you. I value you. And I want to serve you well.
