Behind the Lens
ABOUT me
I'm a tender hearted soul who believes there is good in every day, even if you have to go looking for it.
Believer in Jesus.
Lover of light.
Endless wanderer.
Momma of two.
Disability advocate.
I was that bride that no one wants to be. I was young and had no clue when it came to planning a wedding. I chose a wedding photographer that someone suggested and not necessarily that I loved. Then it happened. My wedding photos came back and were awful. Fifteen years later, they are still awful. From that day on I thought, never again. Not for my brides!
My role as a West Michigan photographer continues to push me as a creative, learning how to chase light effectively and giving you images that you'll adore, captured on medium format & 35mm film and digitally.
YOU are my inspiration!
Simple things in life are what make me smile. Relationships, sunshine and a cozy movie on the couch. Life is beautiful, isn't it?!

Buying books and never reading them. Large earl grey tea - two cream, one sugar. House plants - like a lot of them.

Anytime that someone cries - it always gets me! What an honor it is to me to capture such priceless moments. It never gets old.

My clients see beauty in each day, enjoy small moments and treasure how special life can be.
They know that if they were given five minutes to take the most important things from their homes it would always be the photographs.
Those can never be replaced.
