There’s a new favorite in my Traverse City photography studio, and I’m so excited to finally share it with you.


Over the past year, I’ve been slowly growing my collection of hand-painted backdrops from Willow Canvas, and I’ve just added a third style to the mix. This newest addition—a soft, painterly blue—has already stolen my heart. Handcrafted with intention and artistry, it’s the kind of backdrop that elevates everything from maternity to motherhood and family portraits.


The tones are just right: coastal-inspired, calming, and subtly textured, without distracting from the connection between you and your people. It pairs effortlessly with soft fabrics, natural tones, and gentle light—perfect for creating timeless, feminine images with an editorial feel.


Why choose a studio session?

Studio portraits offer consistency, warmth, and flexibility—especially during those unpredictable Northern Michigan seasons. With this new setup, we can create something beautiful and meaningful no matter the weather.


If you’re dreaming of soft, elevated studio portraits, or want a weather-proof space for updated family portraits, this backdrop setup might be exactly what you’ve been looking for. Let’s bring your vision to life—reach out to book your session!
