Detroit Wedding and Portrait Photographer
The photos hanging in your parents' house? The ones you actually stop and look at?
Those are the ones that captured something real. Not perfection, but connection. Not performance, but presence. And fifty years from now, those are the exact images your family will hold onto.
I've lived in Michigan for over 10 years now and I've truly found what people love so much about this state. It's the geography, the people, the architecture, and the community. There's nothing comparable to what Michigan has to offer.
I'm a Detroit wedding and portrait photographer who's spent the past 10+ years creating legacy art for Michigan families. From wedding days all over Michigan to Metro Detroit portrait sessions, engagement sessions, and family portraits. I photograph the moments that become your visual history whether that's a classic studio portrait or a portrait in your best element.
Here's what sets my approach apart:
The images that get passed down through generation aren't the ones where everyone looked flawless (although I do my best to make you look your best!). They're the ones where you can feel what that moment meant. Whether you're planning a wedding at a Detroit venue, celebrating an engagement, expecting a new baby, or simply want to capture your family as it is right now. I'm here to create photos that will outlive us all.
As both a Detroit wedding and portrait photographer, I work with people who understand that these aren't just pretty pictures for Instagram. They're legacy art. The visual proof of who you were and how deeply you loved.
If you're looking for a Metro Detroit photographer who treats your story like the legacy it is, let's create something that lasts.

The Experience
You're not here for "just photos"
You're here because this matters to you!
Your wedding. Your family. The way your child's hand fits inside yours right now. The way your dress moves. The way this season of your life feels.
My process is structured, calm, and intentional - so you never feel rushed, awkward, or unsure of what happens next. I photograph weddings throughout Michigan and beyond, and I create custom portrait sessions inside private studios throughout the area.
Based in Armada, Michigan, I photograph couples, children, families, and just people throughout the Metro Detroit area and all over Michigan. There's really no limit to how creative we can get for your session or wedding day. The sky is the limit for your imagination to soar!
From the first inquiry to the final artwork in your hands, everything is done with care and clairty.
