“A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.” – Annie Leibovitz

And I do. I fall in love with my clients. They become family, after I’ve captured so many of their big moments over the years. Photography can be quite personal, and it’s what I love most. I want to know my clients, and I’d like you to know me. Let’s get to know each other!

First, you should know. I’m a cat person, okay? I didn’t mean to be. Stitch, Zero, and Beans are my managers, and they have adventured with me in an RV through almost 20 states. They’re rugged outdoorsmen, and quite photogenic. Dogs? Yes. I do have a dog named Eleanor Rigby. She also runs my life.

Growing up in St. Clair Shores, I knew that my future involved three things: Travel, Photography, and Adventure. In 2015, I found myself having made the best decision of my life, and I arrived in Traverse City. So, here I am, living that dream in the most photogenic place in Michigan, doing my best to keep traveling, photographing, and adventuring.

We spend a lot of time exploring this incredible place we call home, hunting for secret, magical places for photo sessions, and marveling over how lucky we are to live here. Any free time I have, you can find me kayaking, camping, paddleboarding, hiking, or floating. Gotta make the most of those Northern Michigan summers!

When I’m not seeking gorgeous venues and calling it “work,” I work as an Emergency Communication Specialist. Working under stress? I eat pressure for breakfast.

Thanks for stopping by! I’m always excited to meet new people, find new pals, and hopefully make connections with folks who are interested in creating photographic memories. Some people have never been in front of a camera, and aren’t sure of their comfort level. Others want unique or wild shoots, but need some direction. Some folks just want an easy, fun, smooth shoot that doesn’t end in tears. Let’s chat- I’d love to come up with a personalized plan with you, unique to your photographic needs. I like to work closely with my clients, sharing visions, and creating relationships where your memories are preserved for generations.

Voyage with me, friends!
