MICHIGAN PHOTOGRAPHER | genuine & unapologetic

As a Michigan-based, people-first photographer, I’m all about capturing emotion, energy, and those tiny in-between moments that tell the real story. I want you to feel seen, confident, and fabulous in front of my camera...because when you feel good, the photos are magic.

Photography isn’t just what I do...it's how I show up in the world, how I lead, how I serve, and how I make sure you never forget the moments that matter most. It’s how I serve people, spread light, and (hopefully) make life feel a little more beautiful. I believe joy is contagious, and I’m out here trying to spread it like confetti.

I’ll cry when your dad gives you away, climb on chairs or roll on the ground to get that shot, and hype up strangers like we’ve been besties for years.

Whether I’m photographing a wedding, chasing toddlers at a family session, or singing affirmations to a business owner at a branding shoot, I’m in it 100%. And when someone tears up looking at their gallery or leaves a review saying, “this is totally us” - that’s when I know I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.

I’ll bring the camera—you bring the chaos.

Contact me today to plan your next session or schedule a bridal consultation.

the obligatory “About Me”

AKA: a dramatic retelling of why I love photography. Or, ya know… the part where I try not to sound like the kid that was always picked last for kickball.

Finding my way back to the cross. The joy and peace I have, while living in this crazy world, comes directly through my relationship with Jesus Christ. But please no pearl clutching when I drop the f-bomb.

Putting down the bottle. I have been sober since April 2010. I have learned to love life and enjoy all the highs and lows without alcohol and I have never regretted it.
But, my problem isn't your problem, don't be shy in front of me...BOTTOMS UP!

Starting my business in 2021. I turned a long time dream of being a photographer into reality. Though there have been some scary days, it has been so rewarding. Serving others and giving them a tangible piece of their hearts, is priceless.
