Portraits

As a film photographer based in Grand Rapids, I have the honor of documenting the sweetest seasons of life, including Bryer’s heartfelt newborn session at home. While her face remains a private treasure for her family, these images capture the quiet love between her parents, her tiny hands and toes, and the tender way dad holds his baby girl. Their beautiful home offered the dreamiest light in every corner, making it hard to stop photographing such meaningful, fleeting moments.

It seems like just yesterday I was capturing Hank and Ashley’s wedding and here we are preparing for a baby. It was such an honor to travel from Michigan to their home town and meet with them again before they became parents.

It was the perfect evening in downtown LA. Phil and Jen picked the Urban Light art installment for their engagement session. The tall cascading lights towered over them and created the most beautiful glow reaching up to the palm trees. This provided an amazing view pointing back to the two of them. Enjoy this peek […]

I have been photographing this sweet family for a while now, since Brad and Katie’s engagement a few years ago. Seeing them become parents is seriously the best thing – the best part of my job! Welcome to the world, little William. We were all so excited to meet you, including your new furry sibling. […]

Addison is absolutely beautiful. Her long, gorgeous hair lit up in the evening sun and brought her images to life. I loved shooting her senior session at Wildwood Family Farms. Their property is stunning and is filled with wildflowers and stunning landscaping everywhere you look. I loved shooting there (even though it was over 100*!). […]

Family photos are such a treasure and something you’ll never regret taking the time to have. In twenty years your sweet kiddos will be grown up and you’ll want to remember those precious little chubby cheeks and tiny toes. That’s what it’s all about, friends. We met up early in the morning in Grand Rapids […]

Being a family photographer is so incredibly especially when I get to see this family yearly….this year at a gorgeous beach on the shores of Lake Michigan. We originally had planned to go to another beach but they were closed so we switched up our plans fast and found a new one…. I may even […]

Welcome sweet baby Layne! Meeting new babies is such a special time. I was lucky enough to meet Layne at her home in Byron Center for newborn photos along with her beaming mom and dad. Grandpa and grandma were even there too! Capturing these images inside your home is so much fun. It’s so much […]

This beauty is my niece, Kenzie. I was traveling to Southern California for work and Kenzie needed her senior photos taken so we thought, what a great opportunity for something fun and unique! Our locations ranged from Laguna Beach, the hills of the Ojai Valley, downtown Los Angeles and El Matador State Beach in Malibu. […]
