family & wedding photography that feels like you.
grand rapids + West michigan
Beautiful photographs, without making your family feel like they're at a photo shoot.
I photograph families and couples in a way that's relaxed, natural and actually fun - with enough direction to make sure you look really good, and enough room for the real stuff to happen.

For the family who wants beautiful photos without the whole thing feeling like a production.
I'll help with the location, outfits and all the little details beforehand. During your session, I'll guide you through the portraits, keep the kids moving, and leave plenty of room for the moments that happen naturally.
Pretty relaxed.
You don't have to know how to pose, your kids don't have to behave perfectly, and your husband doesn't have to pretend he's excited about family photos.
I'll help you choose a location, give you direction when you need it, keep things moving when the kids are losing interest, and make sure we get the beautiful portraits you're hoping for.
The goal is simple:
You get to enjoy your people. I make sure you look good doing it.

WOODSY & MINIMAL PINEWOOD WEDDING
Their wedding took place at Pinewood Weddings and Events. It’s a modern, upscale venue placed right in the middle of a pine forest. Sheridan said they chose this venue because it reminded them of a huge version of the house they would love to build together someday! Click below to view the full post.
