I love exploring new places, trying new foods, craft b**r, coffee dates, Michigan autumns, and, of course, PHOTOGRAPHY! I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you all, and I appreciate each and every one of you! My photography journey started in the most organic way. I didn’t grow up thinking “someday I’m going to be a photographer.” I was, however, that girl who always had a camera with her… you kno
w, back in the day before everyone had a camera phone in their pocket! Capturing moments and memories has always been something I just loved to do. I liked taking pictures with my friends and making scrapbooks. And now that we are “all grown up” and living totally different lives, those are pretty cool things to have and look back on. That’s what I want to give to all of my clients – beautiful memories they can cherish forever; that they can share with their future children and grandchildren. My first “photo shoots” were for a few friends who couldn’t afford to have their senior photos professionally taken. It was then that I realized I naturally have an eye for this. We had SO much fun, and from then on I was HOOKED. I bought my first DSLR and the rest is pretty much history. I taught myself everything I know about my gear and editing. But the one thing that can’t be taught is creativity and vision. My goal is for you to be able to feel something when you look at my photos; to truly capture the emotion behind the moments. It’s a passion project. I pour my heart and soul into each and every session and wedding. Photography is the preservation of priceless memories. It's turning the simplest of moments into art. It's catching the sweet glance of a bride looking lovingly at her groom when she doesn't know I'm shooting yet. It's telling your love story. It's freezing sweet moments in time. It’s capturing the personality of your little ones. After all, time goes by so fast! I have been very blessed with all this journey has brought into my life so far – so many clients and colleagues turned friends! I cannot wait for all that 2017 has to bring. There's still room on my calendar for a few more weddings. I would love to chat with you about your special day or to schedule a portrait session! With full or mini session options, I have something for every budget. Most of all, I can’t wait to meet you! Coffee date soon?
