As an engagement photographer, I get asked all the time for advice on outfits, so here are two casual looks as examples! I recently had the pleasure of capturing this engagement session at Millennium Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It truly felt like a scene straight out of a romantic movie. The couple had just […]

The Wild Phern has expanded service areas in the last two years to include more of the MidWest states, and these engagement poses were from a photoshoot in Crystal Lake, Illinois. From the moment we started, it was all about keeping things light and easy. I kicked things off with some candid shots. It’s such […]

In my years of being a family photographer, I find that having your family photos taken at home puts little kiddos and pets in a state safety and comfort. Not to mention convenient with treats for bribery or new outfits being in the next room! I’ve been on this wonderful journey with Kaitlyn and Andrew […]

This engagement session made the DIA (Detroit Institute of Arts) one of my favorite places to take photos at. The clean backdrops of the stunning marble building paired with the golden hour light just gives me joy. We started right at the iconic front of the building, basking in that gorgeous golden light as the […]

I had the opportunity to work with Chloe on this editorial studio maternity shoot a couple months ago. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her for years! Everything from her engagement and rehearsal dinner to her wedding day and even a handful of family sessions. So when she told me she was expecting again, […]

I had such a blast shooting Sadie and Brady’s engagement photos at Pohlcat Golf Course recently! Right from the get-go, they told me how much they love golfing together, and it just sparked an idea! We met during sunset at the course, and catching that golden hour light was pure magic. It was honestly the […]

I’ve photographed many spring family photos over the years, but it’s always a joy to catch up with Kaitlyn and Scotty. We’ve been on this amazing ride together for a few years now! Starting from their wedding (which they had to postpone—life has its surprises, right?) to capturing their engagement, maternity, and now their third […]

And make it Harley Davidson themed I’ve got to share these amazing couples photos in Holland I did recently with my friends Hannah and Justin. They wanted something that really celebrated their love for riding, so I recommended this spot in West Michigan knowing it was going to compliment their vision perfectly. From the moment […]

I’ve been a wedding photographer for almost a decade and curate a wedding timeline for almost all my couples, so here’s a real sample for nine hours of coverage with one photographer! I love when couples lean into the experience of their wedding day. You’re only doing this once. It’s important to be soaking up […]
