Instead of waiting a whole year to take pretty photos, we decided to celebrate their wedding day with photos in Petoskey! I scouted and […]

This family is super special to me. As a special needs mom, I meet many other wonderful families and moms who quickly become friends. This is Natalie’s family.

I’m a wedding and portrait photographer, and I’m also a disability advocate working to make the wedding industry more accessible, thoughtful, and welcoming. I believe love stories deserve to be told in spaces where care, dignity, and access are part of the experience - not an afterthought.
This work is deeply personal to me. I’m helping build an industry that’s ready for my daughter, Gabby - so that when it’s her turn to dream, celebrate, and be celebrated, the world is already open to her, just as she is.
