The girl behind the camera

about me //


what do i love? my sweet husband, my career as a nurse, exploring places I have never been before, Europe, bakeries, coffee shops, outdoor cafes, anything by the Beatles, flip-flops, pedicures, lake michigan beaches, my orange kitty, smiling babies, candles, lattes, art fairs, cuddling, vintage quilts, my flower garden, antique stores, learning new things, and traveling.


I planned my wedding for 18 months and it was one of the happiest and magical days of my life. My wedding photographer helped me to fall in love with capturing the details around me again. We got married in a historic village chapel in Northville surrounded by our closest friends and family. My Mom and I designed and printed all invites, programs, etc, and my stepsister helped with our flowers. All the details and special touches are what made the day so warm and lovely.

I started my photography business as a small venture in Minnesota and it has slowly grown over the last year as I have relocated back to my home state of Michigan with my hubby Mark.






what inspires me?

changing seasons, open fields with wildflowers, warm sunshine, open water, vintage elements, oldies, anthropologie, barns with peeling paint, the country.

gear: canon rebel xsi, i dream of the canon 5d mark II/ canon lenses, mostly prime / adobe lightroom and photoshop

style: i love natural light, there is nothing else like it. i am all about capturing the everyday moments and making them shine. i love capturing a special glance, kiss, embrace, or laughter. i want to capture the things about yourself and those you love with my lens, by helping you feel comfortable, relaxed, and have some fun. i'd like to think you might leave your portrait session feeling happy and like you made a new friend. my ideal photo session would be you and i in a field near sunset, a comfortable quilt or tent and my camera.
