Capturing Life's Authentic Moments

Vibrant, heartfelt photography for families, couples, and seniors in Northern Michigan.

Photos that Feel Like You

The best photos happen when you’re comfortable enough to be yourself. From planning your session and choosing what to wear to selecting the perfect size for your artwork, I’ll guide you through every step.

Location Selection

I'll help you choose the perfect Northern Michigan setting for your session.

What-to-wear guidance

When it comes to wardrobe, hair, and makeup, I know what works in front of the camera, and have lots of tips to help you look your best. Don’t stress!

Posing & direction

You don’t need to know what to do in front of the camera. I’ll guide you along the way, with a blend of guided posing and candid moments.

Choosing your favorites

I’ll help you narrow it down to the images you love most, and decide where they should live in your home!

Hi, I’m Jazmine Sharp! I’m a Northern Michigan photographer who believes beautiful portraits should feel like you. My sessions are fun, relaxed, and professional from start to finish. I’ll make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera—and look your best while you’re there. Contact me today to book your photo session.

Beautiful photos. A relaxed experience. Memories made to last.


Jazmine went above and beyond and made my experience with her wonderful! Not only did my pictures turn out great but the whole process was fun and simple! If you're looking to get any type of pictures taken I highly recommend her! She definitely cares about the quality of her work very much. She makes sure you’re fully involved in each decision throughout the entire process and makes sure you are comfortable and happy.




My first time EVER professional and family photos were done by Lively Sharp Photography! She did a great job keeping my family (4 kids and husband) focused and smiling! After, she stayed in touch with questions and answers in helping me pick out EXACTLY what I wanted (and I’m very picky, lol) she was very timely! I would highly recommend her and was very well pleased with my first experience! Thanks again, Jazmine!!
