THE PROCESS
[01] INQUIRY
To inquire about wedding photography, an engagement session, or a family photo shoot in Minnesota, West Michigan, or a destination location, simply fill out the contact form. I want to hear all about your plans, your people, and what you're dreaming up for your photos.
Once I receive your inquiry, I’ll send over an email with everything you need to know about availability, pricing, and the next steps. If you don’t hear from me within 24 hours, be sure to check your spam folder or feel free to follow up.
Once I receive your inquiry, we’ll connect to talk through your session and how I can best support you. Whether you're planning a wedding, an engagement shoot, or a relaxed family session, I’ll ask a few thoughtful questions to learn more about your story, your priorities, and what you’re hoping the experience will feel like.
I want you to feel confident, cared for, and excited about what’s ahead. We’ll create a plan that reflects your story and sets the tone for a meaningful experience from start to finish.
[02] THE DETAILS
Whether we’re photographing your wedding in Minnesota, your family in your backyard, or an engagement session near Lake Michigan, I’ll show up ready to capture it with care. I’ll gently guide you when it’s helpful and step back when the moment speaks for itself.
My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourselves. Wrangling toddlers with snacks or giving you a quiet moment to breathe together before your vows, I’ll meet you where you are and photograph what’s real.
[03] YOUR SESSION
Your final gallery will be delivered through a private online link where you can view, download, and share your images. I take time to edit each photo with consistency and care, making sure your images feel true to the experience and reflect your story beautifully!
My editing process is never rushed, because your story deserves to be preserved with intention. The result is a complete, cohesive gallery that reflects not just what happened, but how it felt to be there.
[04] PHOTOS TO KEEP
Wedding Photography That Feels Effortless, Personal, and Honest
I know how much trust it takes to hand your most cherished memories over to someone. That’s why I don’t take any part of your wedding day lightly. From our first conversation to the day I deliver your gallery, you can count on me to photograph a thoughtful, organized, and compelling story of your wedding day.
I pride myself in making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and dare I say, even have fun?! You’ll get helpful planning tools, intentional check-ins, and my full attention throughout. The result is a relaxed experience that allows you to focus on each other, while I take care of telling your story through beautiful imagery.
Wedding collections start at $4,500.
True-to-Life Family Sessions
It’s the everyday things you’ll want to remember later. The way your child fits in your arms, the look they give you when they think you’re not watching, the way your family moves together. I’m here to document that magic with care and clarity, so you can hold onto it long after this season has passed.
My favorite family photos are never the most posed. They’re the ones where you’re laughing, holding hands, or stealing a moment together while the kids run around you. I photograph families with a light touch, a documentary eye, and a heart for what really matters.
Real Moments With the Person Who Feels Like Home
Every couple has a story. Maybe you met in high school, on a hike, a sports game or through mutual friends who knew you’d be perfect together. Engagement sessions give us space to celebrate that story in a way that feels honest and meaningful.
These photos aren’t just for your save-the-dates or your wedding website. They’re for the two of you, to remember how this season felt before everything changed.
Wherever we go, we’ll capture the real energy between you in a way that feels grounded and relaxed!

I do not provide RAW images to any couple or client because RAW photos are unprocessed photos that often include duplicates, blinking, blurry photos, and other images that don't necessarily represent how beautiful your wedding day or photo session was.
It's my job to sort through all images and only provide those that live up to the highest standards that artfully tell your story.
