Life's fleeting moments and milestones; captured forever

The tiny wrinkled toes.
           
The first tentative steps.
           
The sparkle of the future as a graduate is ready to take on the world.
           
The hope of new love as a couple begins their new life.
           
These moments in life, so precious, happen in an instant and can be gone just as fast. But photographer and photojournalist Jennifer McDonald can capture them forever, leaving a trail of memories to chart life from pregnancy to marriage and family life.

Jennifer specializes in family photography, following the happy couple from engagement to the whirlwind wedding day; taking maternity photos that showcase the growing beauty of life; shooting the precious new life that results, and following children as they grow into teens and embark on their college careers with senior portraits.   

Located in Holly, Mich., McDonald Photography can offer beautiful scenic shots on her wooded acreage, traditional portraiture with a variety of backdrops and props, and creative shots that highlight the interests and soul of her subjects.

All within a comfortable atmosphere that puts the shyest subject at ease.

Come let us be a part of your family, before the moments slip away.

Packages & Services

Maternity

For maternity photography, anything goes! Jennifer’s clients have come to her to be photographed fully clothed, to tastefully nude, and everything in between. Some customers wear open button-down shirts, a pair of jeans and a tank top, a robe, or a special dress. Jennifer even has several different types and lengths of fabric, which can be used to wrap around a client, goddess-style. The options are really endless.

It’s important though to make sure and wear loose clothing an hour or two before your session to minimize marks that clothing can leave on the skin. Take a look at Jennifer’s Baby & Belly session fee plan for the option to have your maternity as well as your baby’s first session covered.

Newborns and Babies

Newborns are often best photographed from one to two weeks after birth, usually in their own skin. Newborn babies are usually more sleepy and pliable during the first few weeks, which can help result in some amazing poses.

If that natural “curled” look is how you’d like your newborn to be remembered, be sure and contact Jennifer before giving birth, to make sure dates are available. While no woman’s due date is exact, Jennifer will be sure to block off a significant amount of time to be sure your session will take place.

Jennifer’s made it even easier with her Baby & Belly session fee combination, as well as the Growing Up Fast Plan, so you can have the best of all worlds.

*Baby & Belly combined session fee - $75

• This unique double-session offers the chance for an expectant mother and father to record special moments with both a maternity AND infant photography session. If your newborn session is complete within two weeks from birth, you’ll receive 24 FREE custom designed birth announcements.

*Growing Up Fast Plan - $150

This plan covers the first year of your baby’s life, with four photography sessions at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months old. This special will not only help you save money on session fees  (a $50 savings) but will give you access to discounted portrait collections. As a member of this plan you will receive a 10x20 storyboard (value of $80) after your baby’s one-year session. The storyboard will have a photograph from each age session. You will also receive 15 % off all regularly priced print product throughout your baby’s first year.

*Prints are not included.  For more information and a listing of print prices, visit www.photosbymcdonald.com.

Great Photographer!

We've been photographing with Jennifer since the beginning and there is nobody else that I would trust with my large and rowdy family of 6. She makes everybody feel comfortable and is patient enough to wait through feedings/snacks, potty breaks and melt downs to make sure we get the shots we want. I would definitely reccomend her to anyone with more than one toddler/baby in the family!

We love Jennifer!

We love when it's time to go get our photographs taken by Jennifer! She's been photographing my 2-1/2 year old son since he was just weeks old and although he's a shy boy, she always manages to make him feel comfortable and get some great shots! She recently did a maternity session with me at her studio while I was pregnant with my second son. She has great ideas for poses and works with you to make sure you're getting the style of photographs you want. Now that my baby boy is here, we did a newborn session with her for his 6 week photos and she's great working with brand new babies too, as unpredictable as they can sometimes be! We highly recommend Jennifer.
