In July, I spent time with the Haske family on their boat in Cedarville, Michigan, amidst the beautiful Les Cheneaux Islands. I was able to capture their love for the water and the warmth of their family bond. From cruising to The Ice Cream Shoppe to playing at the playground, every moment reflected the love and happiness they want their children to remember in the years to come.

Capturing Caleb's first year was a heartwarming journey filled with love, laughter, and the joy of watching a beautiful family grow. Stephanie, Caleb's mom, wanted his first year to be captured candidly and relaxed, reflecting their family's style.
