Fourth of July weekend was the annual gathering of the Jim and Susan Snyder family at their homestead along the Little Manistee River. Jim’s dad bought the property many years ago as a family cabin. Seventeen years ago Jim and Susan made it their home. The Snyder family is best known in our area as the owners of Ludington’s and Manistee’s premier shoe stores, Snyder’s Shoes, the family business also started by Jim’s dad.
The grand finale to the family picture session was talking everyone into getting into the river. At the end, they couldn’t resist splashing each other!
Recently I had the chance to photograph a long-time friend and her family. I have known Marci since we were both in about first grade — that’s many many years ago. She grew up in Scottville and moved away after high school, landing in the Atlanta, Georgia area. She and her husband Tim and their children try to make it back to the Ludington and Scottville area every year. This year, the top priority was family pictures on the Ludington beach. We had a rough week, though, because there was rain every day of their vacation.
Thanks to their willingness to be flexible in their schedule, we were able to find a short window of opportunity one morning when the sun wasn’t too bright.

Whether your family is comprised of three people or 18 people (or more), we have the experience to create a portrait that will last a lifetime. Because we are in such a beautiful location like Ludington, summer is typically the time for outdoor photography. Whether it’s your home or the beach, your picture will be a household treasure for years to come. We are also happy to travel to distances along the Lake Michigan shore such as Pentwater, Manistee, Silver Lake, Onekama, Grand Haven, Traverse City or Muskegon, to name a few.
Summer sessions are booking fast. We still have a limited amount of appointments for July. Call us at 231.757.3202 or email alwayphotography@gmail.com.
As the days get longer and the snow slowly melts into the sand of Michigan’s west coast beaches, I can’t help but think of summer. We love photographing families on the beach, creating memories that last a lifetime. This photograph of the Babcock family was created at Stearns Park beach in Ludington. It’s also one of the family’s favorite photographs as well. – rob
