BEHIND THE LENS
Ever-focused on capturing timeless and genuine images; found in moments of connection and authenticity.
I am a born and raised Michigander, and the mitten state will always hold my heart. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me snuggled up on the couch with a good book or taking leisurely walks down the nearest Main St. in search of the best tacos and margs. As much as I love my work, nothing beats quality time with my loved ones - they're my ultimate inspiration!
My Why...
...when I hopped on the school bus and sat next to my best friend. I wore Old Navy overalls and a goofy grin on my face. He wore the expression of a boy who had already accepted my silly ways, and liked me anyhow. I will never know why, but somebody snapped a picture of us that day. I could have never dreamed how important that photo would become, because about ten years later, I married that boy!
It's photos like this that drew me to photography, ones that are seemingly insignificant at the time they are taken, but end up becoming the ones you will look back on every valentines day for the rest of your life. Special moments that you didn't know were happening right before your eyes.

Photography goes beyond capturing beautiful images of your special day - I am dedicated to documenting the start of your lifelong journey together with a focus on preserving your legacy. Through a down-to-earth approach and evocative storytelling, I will capture every laugh, tear, and busted dance move so that your wedding day can be cherished for generations to come.
