The Kanners Family

An in-home documentary family photography session in Traverse City, Michigan.

My family and I just moved to Traverse City last August. I wan’t sure if i wanted to continue my photography business after my hiatus. Not knowing anyone has been tough, but we have been here for one year and I’ve made so many wonderful connections. I have a love/ hate relationship with Instagram. Maybe I’ll blog about that soon. Anyways, I posted a model call on my instagram and had a wonderful mama reach out to me. She said she hasn’t had professional photos since her wedding. Small world- her husband’s brother was friends with my husband in high school! Anyways, we discussed documentary family photography and how the sessions are not posed. This seemed to be right up their alley. I went over to their house for an afternoon session. I always say that my sessions are like hanging out with a friend who happens to have a camera. And that’s exactly what it felt like.
