actually felt.
WHOLE
THING
Every family has their own thing. The places you go. The stuff your kids are obsessed with. The little routines nobody else would think twice about.
That's what I want to know about.
Not because everything has to be meaningful or beautiful. Because someday even the most ordinary parts of your life will look a little different.

The tiny hands. The favorite toy. The way they say your name right now. I notice those things, too.
“She made us feel completely comfortable and at ease ... letting us live and act normal in our home while freezing beautiful tiny moments.”
NEEDS TO
BEHAVE.
Seriously. Bring the kids who have opinions. The baby who needs a break. The people who never know what to do with their hands. I’ll help when you need me to and pay attention when you don’t.

What you're getting
what if my kids don't sit still +
Then they're being kids. Perfect behavior isn't a requirement here. We'll follow their lead, take breaks when we need to, and make room for the chaos. Some of my favorite photographs happen when nobody's doing what they're supposed to.

a few things worth noting
my home isn't "picture perfect" +
Absolutely not. Your home is part of your story, and it doesn't need to look like a magazine spread.

The Practical Stuff
We start with your people and what matters to you. We'll talk about a place that feels right, whether that's your living room, the backyard, or somewhere you love to spend time.
I'll give direction when it's helpful, and space when it isn't. The goal isn't to perform for the camera. It's to have photographs that bring you right back.
Based in Marshall, Michigan. Photographing families across West Michigan, Detroit, and beyond.
