We Like to Travel

With over 46 years of marriage under our belts, we love working and traveling side by side, cherishing each shared adventure. And of course, photography is part of that adventure, looking to photograph new flora and fauna, landscapes and the unique people we meet.

Embarking on sunny adventures is a pastime for my husband and me, where we revel in the warmth of exotic locales. Some of the places we've visited are Puerto Rico, Belize & Mexico. Read my blog articles about our trip to the Grand Canyon and Belize.

A Little About Me and My Husband

I'm a quiet, small town girl, whereas my husband, Roman is more outgoing.

Roman was born in Detroit and moved up here in Northern Michigan over 50 years ago. He loves living "up north". I guess you could say, he is no longer a city boy.

He is the talker between the two of us. I tend to be more reserved. Roman's outgoing nature ensures our dynamic balance. We are a team, professionally and personally.

Relaxing for Us

In our retirement, my husband Roman and I find fulfillment in pursuing our passions together. I love keeping busy crocheting, knitting and nurturing my love for photography. This year 2024, I attended 2 different photography conventions, to improve my skills and keep up with what's new. Attending conventions is an annual goal as well as taking online photography courses.

My husband, Roman, enjoys making Maple syrup. Every spring he hangs his buckets on the Maple trees. He collects the sap to cook down into yummy Maple Syrup. It's delicious poured over chocolate ice cream, pancakes and waffles.

I Love to Photograph Our Pets

My husband and I like to take relaxed walks around our property. We have 20 wooded acres, two dogs and 6 chickens. We enjoy watching our dogs run and play as we take our walks. I was born in West Branch, MI. and after high school graduation in Coleman, MI. I came back to marry and live here with my best friend.

Gunnar

As a seasoned Michigan photographer, my mission goes beyond mere snapshots; In the world of portraits, I record emotions, coaxing sincere smiles from mischievous toddlers, and even softening the resistance of reluctant dads. It's not just about capturing faces; it's about helping individuals—regardless of age or disposition—embrace their best selves.

" I wanted to thank you for making it such a comfortable experience." 

 As your photographer, my foremost goal is to create a space where you feel not only at ease in front of the lens, but also in my company. With a commitment to your comfort and confidence, I approach each session with patience, ensuring that you never feel rushed or pressured into any pose or expression.
