Michigan-based photographer, decades of Portraits, Events, and moments worth remembering.

No charge intro calls. Fifteen minutes to talk through your idea, before any cameras come out.

What I shoot

The Pictures.

I photograph people, teams, their milestones, and the moments that matter.

The full archive lives on Instagram. A short tour below.

Portraits

Graduations, maternity and newborn, birthdays, yearbook, engagements, pet photos. Comfortable sessions for folks who might be a bit camera shy.

Events

Weddings, life moments, travel. The kind of pictures you find years later and stop scrolling for a minute.

Team headshots

Headshots for business teams. Consistent, natural pictures of the actual people behind the work, done in one relaxed session.

How a shoot works.

Most photos look the way the photographer thought they should. I would rather yours look the way the day actually felt. So we talk first, figure out what the pictures are really for, and let everything else follow from there.

Shoots are calm and unhurried. I show up early, find the light, set the stage, and capture your moment.

Here is how a session usually goes:

We talk.

A short call to share your idea and see if we are a fit. You leave with a working price range and a feel for how I work.

We plan.

We sit down to map specifics: locations, timing, who is in frame, the look you are after. I come back with a plan, schedule, and quote.

We confirm.

A final review of dates, deliverables, and the look. You sign the contract, we tighten any last details, then we lock the shoot.

We shoot.

I show up ready, you bring yourself. Previews come through along the way; finals arrive as a private gallery you can share, download, and print.

The archive

The current work lives on Instagram.

Newest portraits, event work, and team headshots are posted there first.
