Based in Gaylord, Michigan
I provide you the perfect hybrid of moody and true to life feel in candid and unposed images. I live for emotional connection in my portraits, moody lighting, dramatic earthy tones whenever possible, and that good old Northern Michigan summer sunset.
I am thirty(ish), flirty, and thriving! I am a wife, mom, and iced mocha addict. When I'm not working, you'll find me curled up with some peanut butter chocolate ice cream, day drinking, playing with my kids, or out in my kayak!

What I Offer:
What I Offer:
Family photography is about preserving the connection and personality that make your family unique. I work with families of all kinds—big families, small families, newborns, toddlers, teenagers, and children with disabilities—creating a relaxed space where everyone can feel comfortable and included. My approach is gentle and natural, offering guidance when needed but allowing real moments to unfold so your photos reflect genuine connection. Whether we’re documenting the early days with a new baby or capturing the beautiful chaos of life with growing kids, the goal is always the same: honest images that reflect your family exactly as you are in this season of life.
Wedding photography is about documenting a day that moves quickly but means everything. I work with couples who want their wedding photos to feel genuine, emotional, and true to the experience rather than overly posed or staged. My approach blends gentle direction with candid moments so you feel comfortable, present, and able to fully enjoy your day. From quiet exchanges while getting ready to the big celebrations surrounded by family and friends, I focus on capturing the moments that tell the real story of your wedding. The result is a collection of images that reflect the connection, joy, and atmosphere of the day—photos that bring you right back to how it all felt years from now.
Beyond families and weddings, I also photograph several other meaningful milestones. I offer senior sessions that celebrate this exciting transition into a new chapter of life, capturing personality, confidence, and individuality. I work with couples who want relaxed, connection-focused photos that reflect their relationship as it truly feels. I also photograph vow renewals for couples who want to honor the years, growth, and memories they’ve built together. Lastly, I offer boudoir sessions for those looking to celebrate themselves in a beautiful and empowering way, with a dedicated page that shares more about that experience. Each of these sessions is approached with the same care and attention—creating a comfortable environment where you can simply be yourself while meaningful moments naturally unfold.

She donated her time and our photos to us after our son came home from a long NICU stay.
She was very professional and worked really well with him even with his oxygen needs!
She far exceeded my expectations and I will be working with her again in the future!"
