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 […]

It’s not too often that I get to work with extended families, but when I do, here’s my approach! One of my favorite families to work with, Chloe and Joe’s families, had me take some extended family photos last fall. I’ve been lucky enough to hang out with them during so many different milestones that […]

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 […]

I got to work with these two for their couples session in Grand Rapids and wanted to share some of the posing ideas I used! I’ve been working with Guadalupe and Mario for a few years now, documenting their family, and I was so thrilled they wanted to do a shoot just for the two […]

I’ve been shooting in West Michigan for over a decade, so I’m sharing some of my favorite locations for engagement photoshoots in my neck of the woods. I do quite a bit of traveling now but these spots in my hometown will always have a place in my heart. These are public areas and parks […]

Any wedding at The High Five in Grand Rapids is an absolute dream to photograph in my eyes. Courtney and Brett’s wedding was efficient, joyous, and had the best vendors. My day started off at The Canopy Hotel. This is where I arrived to capture the groom and his groomsmen getting ready. I remember it […]

I’ve been a photographer in Grand Rapids for over twelve years now, and this was my first wedding at the Ballroom at McKay Tower. The new Choices were A DREAM to work with during their engagement session, and I was excited to get to work with them for their wedding. Nicole had a classic wedding […]

Brii has been one of my clients since I decided to become a photographer in Grand Rapids. She has hired me for her engagement session, elopement, TWO boudoir sessions, and I actually have hung out with her (we got tacos and new piercings).
