Photography by Trae

My love for photography started when I launched my first business and had to take my own product photos. Every tiny detail mattered.

And somewhere along the way, that turned into something deeper.

Now I get to document your details — your family, your baby, your story… or the business you’ve poured your heart and hard work into building. Because this season?

You don’t get to repeat it.

Not this stage of motherhood.

Not this version of your kids.

Not this chapter of your business.

These days, I photograph a mix of families and small business owners around Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti.

The builders and landscapers.

The real estate agents and spa owners.

The coaches, creatives, and heart-led entrepreneurs.

The people who work hard, care deeply, and show up for others every day.

Whether it’s brand photography for your business or portraits of your family, my approach is the same — slow down, notice what’s already there, and tell the truth of it.

No stiff poses.

No pretending.

Just you, as you are.

Some clients call it photography. Some call it brand therapy.

I like to think of it as gently tying all the pieces together — your story, your strengths, your season of life — so your photos finally feel like you.
