YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

about

I’d rather give you space to laugh, cry, and hug your people than pull you away for photos to "stick to the schedule".

Over the years, photography, for me, has become much more than carefully staged photos. It’s about people. The art of developing moments is what drew me in, the people are what kept me here. What started as photographing friends and family turned into something much deeper—a calling to serve couples in a way that goes beyond delivering a gallery of photos. To create an environment where you feel comfortable. To protect your wedding day as something meaningful and real. To value presence over content.




I care deeply about how you experience your day. Your comfort, your relationships, your emotions—they come first. Always. Because when you’re able to be fully yourselves, without pressure or performance, that’s when the moments that matter actually happen.

And those are the moments
worth holding onto.

One of the many reasons I love photography is getting to provide others the experience of nostalgia and remembering.
I am a very sentimental person and have a soft spot for the small, yet significant moments of life, so it brings me so much joy to give others the ability to reminisce through art and photos.

When I’m not behind my camera or editing client galleries, you’ll likely find me spending quality time with my wonderful boyfriend and family. Whether it’s running random errands together or braving the cold for our annual October camping trip, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by the people I love the most. I also enjoy sitting at the beach while I read or journal (proud member of the introverts club), going to run club with my friend and always getting coffee afterwards, and listening to Christmas music while I’m at the gym.

Some of my current favorite things include discovering new music artists and going to small venue concerts, dinners and game nights with my family, and going on dates with my boyfriend at our favorite places in Grand Rapids...let me know if you want some good sushi and coffee recommendations!
