I love the opportunity to show people how incredible they are. For me, photography is the art medium and toolbox I use to build a client’s confidence and show them their innate worth. My favorite point in a photo session is when I see a client’s smile change – their shoulders relax and we go from strangers to people telling a story together.
And this means I’m not for everyone. I’m your photographer if you’re looking for someone who will roll up, windows down, music loud, smiling “let’s go make some memories!”
I’m not only a photographer, I’m your hype person. I’m the say yes to adventure friend. That means we hike to the best spot, we spread out in the backyard, we include the dogs, the kids run wild, and we’re not afraid to laugh loudly in public. I live and love fully because I’m worth it and so are you.
Life tries to dull our shine enough without being our own worst critic. My photographic mission is to make sure my clients leave their photo session feeling good about themselves. I want them to glow when they look at their photos because yes, that is you in the photo! You are so cool. Pinky promise.
I pride myself on making folks feel comfortable in front of my camera. Being your photographer is a form of trust and I am fully committed to earning that trust. I’ll explain how to pose, why you’re posing this way, and check in with you to make sure you’re comfortable, working with your body’s capabilities, comfort level, and make sure you’re still having fun. Then I’ll show you the results as we go. This is your story, I’m here to help you be an active participant in telling it.
I love working with families, high school senoirs, and folks who like to hike, have a favorite beach (if you need some recs, I’ve got them!), and who want to explore Northern Michigan. I am always ready for couples who want to elope in the middle of winter and stand in the snow for that perfect shot. I want you to build confidence in your own body during a boudoir session and take that energy into the rest of your life. There’s only one you and you bring so much value to this world; own it.
If you’re ready to invest in yourself, to live loudly and in the moment, if you want someone to hype you up for a new photo experience… Let’s talk!
