i am a full-time wedding + family photographer residing in the cutie pie city of grand rapids, michigan. i am also the lucky mother to four kind, beautiful + witty daughters that keep my head spinning, my heart full + my refrigerator empty. i am the wife + soulmate to the kindest, funniest, most big-hearted man that makes me feel like the luckiest girl in all the world, everyday.
i tend to be mostly a homebody + spend much of my time in the kitchen making messes, buried under blankets on our couch reading or watching a show, finding empty spaces on our walls to hang // rearrange artwork + photos, or tackling never-quite-planned-out home reorganization projects. i also love hosting gatherings + am always looking for an excuse to feed our friends + family.
when i do leave my groutfit + bunhead - i love to wander target with an americano, grab a yummy dinner [ and beer ] i don’t have to cook, get out to the lakeshore or catch some live music downtown. we travel whenever we can - mostly within our beautiful mitten state [ big northern michigan + u.p. fans over here ] + i am forever planning our next getaway via google sheets.
