love this city—
just a quick moment coming home from jiu jitsu with Jun.
rainy days in the city just hit differently.

Jun was so excited to see a tiny river on our street.

it’s the little things.


just want to pop on here to update on traveling this year!

while I’m based in Grand Rapids, I make my way all over Michigan…more specifically Detroit and Flint area every couple months…but also wherever the wind takes us. :) wanting to get some things booked up north + Chicago. I haven’t created an official dream shoot list, but it’s always on my mind. (I’m a sagittarius ok??)

my schedule seems to continue to shrink a bit with Jun growing and wanting to prioritize family time as much as possible. I’m realizing how incredibly precious my weekends are especially in the summer.

if you’re wanting to get something booked this year, please reach out sooner than later as my schedule continues to fill up!

I work full time and (always say) I do this part time…in my “free time”, but really, what mom has free time?! 💀

I had more sessions last year than I could’ve ever imagine, and while I loved every moment of it, I know I have to be cautious with the time I’m able to give.

being fully present where I am.

it’s just a season, but I want to squeeze every little bit I can from Jun’s childhood.

that’s really all this is right? wanting to preserve our memories just a little bit longer.

thanks for being here. 💋

always a refreshing experience but even more exciting to see all the new things in the shop! got to try some mouth-watering cacao (definitely incorporating into my routine 👀), restock on some essentials, and leave with a treat!

shopping local never felt (or tasted!) so good!

it’s not everyday that I get to photograph three neighbors/friends in one day. (I can’t tell you how much that meant to me to find out!)

loved getting to meet them all and totally understand why they’re all friends. :)

I was also super excited when the sun popped out for some added dimension to this studio session. ☀️


thinking of planning some studio sessions in prep for Mother’s Day (if you didn’t see my story!)

as a mama of a five year old boy…babies don’t keep. take alllll the pictures. and bring their favorite stuffy. 🤍


congrats to this fam for adding another. 🤍

It means a lot to be asked to do more sessions downtown Grand Rapids.

We’ve been on the west side a couple years now, but I know it takes time to build up a client base. Thankful for those that trust me in our city. 🫶🏼

Grand Rapids is just the most beautiful place when it snows. I always say it feels like I’m in a real life snow globe.

This was a sweet surprise session to commemorate a special anniversary. And now with their little one on the way, it was perfect. So cold and a busy day to be downtown, but you wouldn’t even know it.

one of my favorites — finally getting around to sharing. sometimes I feel like I need to just savor the magic, like I couldn’t dare do these moments justice.

studio sessions where we run around and play tag and show off some yoga poses. some kisses and hugs and squeezes in the mix.

studio minis are great to capture some quick memories. while I love being able to take extra time when we can, these are always so fun. they can feel like a blink in the moment! I promise we always get some magic. it’s all about connection, trust, and the relationships. everything else falls into place.


I have one spot left in Metamora + happy to add a day in January for Grand Rapids if there’s some interest. :) lmkkkk!
