I was born to be a photographer! I specialize in gorgeous wedding portraiture, but really any woman in a beautiful dress in lovely light makes me happy. What I love about capturing weddings is really the atmosphere that comes from not just the bride and groom, but also their families and loved ones. You can watch a lifetime of memories and emotion in one day, and every second I capture from them instantly becomes memories they will revisit years from now. Long after they have forgotten who I was, their memories will live on. It's wonderful knowing that I can have such a profound touch on lives that I might never even meet...all from just using what I see in my head happening in front of me!
Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?
I am located in the great mitten of the US, Michigan - but I do travel Everywhere!
How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?
I've been in business for 18 years, approximately shooting a limit of 30 weddings a year to maintain excellent personal commitment to my clients.
Describe your "style" of wedding photography.
Contemporary romance meets artistic magazine-styled portraiture.
Do you have a studio where we can meet in-person?
Yes! I have a beautiful studio in Saginaw, and we are also happy to Zoom!
What are your professional degrees, credentials, affiliations? Have you taken any recent educational workshops or classes?
I have collected a variety of awards from international organizations including WPPI, WPE, PPA, Portrait Masters, and Fearless Photographers as well as published worldwide. I have several ambassadorships including Geekoto, Magmod, Cheetah Stands, Spider Holster, Fundy, Pro Prints and Flash Masters.

Currently I am ranked one of the “Top 100 Photographers in the World”, WPE.
