Cheers!
Among many other things I also enjoy spending time and sharing laughs with my family, playing video games, baking with my kids, working out and being active, playing piano, cuddling with my pets, and reading a good book.
My philosophy is rooted in creating compelling, timeless imagery that allows our clients to relive their most special moments together. Currently, I take my talent and perspective across central Michigan, capturing life’s most precious events through my camera lenses. With 8+ years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say you are In good hands and exactly where you need to be.
thanks for stopping in.

Below you'll find some handy tips for nailing down YOUR perfect style.
Included in EVERY WEDDING PACKAGE!!
These are so important to me as a wedding photographer, as it helps us get to know each other before your big day, AND you can see if you like my photography style.
It's all about you two and every session is beautifully personal.
Take me to the trail where you walk your dog in the evenings. Your favorite sunset spot on your family farm. Set up a tent, garnish it with fairy lights and call it a good date if that's what you two love!

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS
Hair&
MAKEUP
Wearing your hair down in waves/natural curls is always beautiful to photograph.
Natural makeup looks great, add some eyelashes to pop!
Something a lot of my brides likes to do is trial their hair and makeup for engagement photos, that way they can see what it looks like in photographs!
What to
WEAR
Here’s a list of my favorite outfits that work really well for engagement photos:
Wear a long flowy dress!
Have a great casual outfit to change into (you could also add a hat for some extra fun)
Dress up to the 9s!
A white dress always looks great.
Jersey outfits are awesome choices.
Denim is another great option and adds a bit of a streetwear vibe to the occasion.
Neutral outfits look great for shoots in natural locations.
Add some extra flare to your outfits with sunglasses!
fun tip, match your wedding colors!
Time&
LOCATION
My absolutely favorite time to capture engagement sessions is during sunset and golden hour.
You get the best lighting plus a beautiful golden glow!
As for location, this is the fun part! What vibes are you wanting? Romantic, urban, classic, earthy, fun?!
I love photographing at new locations that are unique to you as a couple. Some of these are camping trails, farm, roller rink, favorite coffee shop, or business.
We can do multiple locations and feels for your session.
no way, jose
- make sure all straps and what you don't want to be shown are covered
- super short dresses, we cant sit down and pose you with them.
- an outfit you're uncomfortable in
- no clashing patterns
- outfits that don't match your skintone
- something you'd never wear again, wear something that fits your personality.
- dress up to the nines!
- long flowy dress
- neutral colors or match your wedding colors
- casual outfit for cozy photos
- Denim is another great option
- consider your location, and match your outfit to fit your location.
- always bring extra outfits
- an outfit that fits your personality-farm hat, cowboy boots, overalls, sun hat, ext.
- make sure hair is styled
yes! yes! yes!
Engagement photo styling tips
