Fully booked for the year -

There’s something special about that golden hour glow…the way the light wraps around your family, the way little hands reach for yours, & the real, unscripted moments that unfold when no one’s forcing a smile. That’s where I work best: capturing connection, movement, & the in between moments that tell your story.

Outdoor family sessions take place May through October in Grand Rapids, MI & surrounding areas. I’ll help guide you every step of the way so your session feels relaxed, natural, & full of meaning.

    “So often, I find myself narrowing down images for a smaller package & feeling a little heartbroken.” There are so many intimate, beautiful moments I have to leave out…images that tell a deeper story of your family. It’s never about the money for me. I take a LOT of photos during a session because I genuinely want you to have as many memories preserved as possible.

    That’s why I love the Luxe package. It gives me the creative freedom to shoot more intentionally, capture the little in-between moments, & deliver a fuller, more artistic gallery. If it’s within reach, I truly believe the Luxe package is worth the investment.”
