& that makes all the difference!
& you’re NOT “just another client”.
we don’t suppress who we are,
we don’t talk about this “photogenic” nonsense,
In the space you share with me
So if you’re looking for a photographer who values the importance of genuine connection and individuality, let’s start planning this experience together.
What DO you care about? Memories that protect the integrity of the actual moment. Visual representations of who you are and those you care about. A way to freeze time and relive seconds with a loved one. You want an experience that allows you to feel more connected to those that matter most.
Well... ok maybe a little.
Yes, you want brag-worthy photos, but that's not really why you're here.

LOVE is the best thing we do, and it absolutely deserves to be documented, no matter what physical form it takes.
This means regardless of how you feel surrounding this society’s beauty standards. Your deep belly laughs, tears, and other emotions derived from love deserve to be documented and remembered.
This is a SAFE space.
I have worked hard to create a nurturing and loving space for myself and my own family to embrace my unique story and humanity. I want to share that with you, too. Come as you are, and PLEASE be SO unapologetically YOU.
We are creating an experience together.
While I can sit here and pinky swear that I’ll deliver an exceptional service, this experience is explicitly based on how well WE (me and you) communicate expectations and work together. I won’t know to photograph your cousin’s left ankle if you don’t tell me!
Let’s agree on a few things:
While I am the CEO of The Wild Phern, these are the faces that keep it going. The village who help me care for my kiddos, the voices that lift me up in the lows of business ownership, and the love that has inspired it all.
I live in Michigan with my loving husband Austin, our two daughters, and two doodles.
This is my family, and I like doing life with them.
handwritten vows
the atmosphere of connection
candid laughter
that JUST MARRIED thrill right after the ceremony
your dessert table
‘til death do you PARTY – see you on the dance floor!
A few of my favorite things on wedding days:
Summer bike rides with my family that take us to the ice cream shop.
Traveling – preferably to the mountains, or somewhere with sunshine.
Family nights that include board games, invested in a UFC fight night, or talking trash with Chef Ramsey while MasterChef is on the TV.
A few of my favorite things in this life:
Anna & Nate
We are so obsessed with our photos and loved working with Phern. She made everything easy and we want to do it all over again!
She is professional and an incredible resource for getting the day-of on a clean timeline. We genuinely have not been able to put into words the incredible magic that Phern created with our engagement & wedding photos. She made the process so effortless! At our wedding, Phern just blended into the background and was able to capture some of the most incredibly special candid moments of our wedding. So many of our loved ones have praised Phern’s ability to capture our wedding in the moment without us feeling like a star on a reality TV show (which was exactly what we asked & she delivered!).
