Dan Stewart

A little about Dan and the work that he has been able to create over the years.

HELLO!

I’m Dan. I had the privilege to grow up surrounded by the natural beauty of Northern Michigan and the kind, welcoming people who call this place home. I am a husband, a father, an explorer, a lover of the outdoors, and a storyteller.

I enjoy a good meal with close friends and family or sitting around a bonfire in the middle of summer. It’s crazy to think for 15 years now I’ve been able to do what I love.

My wife and I met in high school and have been smitten with each other ever since. So much so that we decided to tie the knot and start our family. My wife is my best friend; she has encouraged, pushed, and believed in me since the beginning. She is the reason I pursued photography and have been living my dream. It’s because of both her love—and the love of my Lord and Savior—that I’ve been able to meet incredible couples and families and capture their beautiful stories. It is through her support that I get to cherish these moments with you and many more. I love my family more than anything.
