Wedding & FAMILY photographer based in WEST MICHIGAN

I have been photographing professionally since 2017! I am a wife to my husband Zach and a mom to our daughter Blair. We are a family who thrives at home - hanging out in our big back yard, cooking dinner in most nights of the week, and just plain spending quality time together. I love going on camping trips exploring our beautiful state, jeep rides with the top down, and decorating our home. I'm organized, yet laid-back; free spirited, yet grounded; and outgoing, yet introverted. I create images that feel completely like you.

As a photographer, I create a relaxed and authentic environment that helps bring out your natural expressions, all while capturing the life of your wedding day and your true personality of your family. Still here? Let’s connect!

We're currently building our dream home in my parents apple orchard where I grew up! When we're not outside enjoying our property, we're working on a project. We're homebodies for sure.

the favs

our cozy home

I love to get outside any chance I get. It's like a reset button, even if it's just to take a walk with my family or work in the garden. Hiking and exploring places old and new is definitely a favorite of mine!

the favs

adventuring

I'm all about slow + intentional time with those I love most. Baking up something special, taking my family on an adventure, enjoying my coffee a little longer on the weekends...

the favs

intentional living

Georgia is our eight year old black German Shepherd. She loves to play frisbee, swim in the lake and enjoys peanut butter bones. Get used to seeing her around - working from home would be boring without her.

MY why

the heart behind

what I do

Wedding photography is a lot of things, but most of all it's an investment in someone to capture and document your wedding day. When the wonderful day is done, the cake has been eaten, the dress hung, you are left as newlyweds with your wedding photographs. These images will be your first family heirloom. My goal is to capture what is real, with nothing forced. I want to tell your story. I want you to look at my images and feel something.

I approach my weddings and engagement sessions with a pairing of lifestyle and fine art because I want you to have both the 'wall hangers' and the photos that you can look back on and bring you right back to that moment in time. My business sense paired with my photography skills uniquely provide you with a one-of-a-kind experience that is second to none. Photographs are the closest thing we have to bottling up time.
