  • Thanks for stopping by! The first thing you should know about me is, I LOVE weddings! There is something so precious about two people committing their lives to each other. I love capturing little tender moments that happen; a gentle touch, a warm smile, or a passionate embrace. These are what I call "life's magic".

    Taking pictures of children and families is another passion! I sincerely believe that kids are some of the funniest people on this earth!

    I prefer to shoot outdoors or on location whenever possible using natural light. This includes coming to your home. I have portable studio equipment that I can set up wherever you choose! Studio sessions are available upon request. I am located in Grand Rapids, MI but am willing to travel throughout MI and beyond!

    My style of photography is a blend of photojournalism and planned creative posing. Roam around my site and get a feel for my work. My goal is to make people comfortable and for magic moments to naturally unfold.

My favorite birthday present was when my mom took me parasailing in Mackinaw for my 21st birthday, it was so cool!! I’ve wanted to do it again ever since!

My favorite birthday present was an amethyst (my birthstone) ring my parents gave me for my 18th birthday. Sadly, I never think to wear it – maybe I should have it put into a new setting for this year’s birthday. :)

Happy birthday!!
