Beautiful black and white portrait of a woman with dark soulful eyes

Posing for a portrait can be intimidating, I know.

It's like trying to look cool while feeling like you’re getting a root canal. But fear not, my approach is relaxed and down-to-earth so you can just be yourself. There’s no judgements, no funny looks, nothing that is anything less showing you pure love while you do what most people can’t, and that’s be yourself with someone.

No more pretending to enjoy yourself. No more holding your breath, sucking in your stomach, and definitely no more fake smiles. We’re here to have fun. We’re here to share our story. To show our true flavors to the world.

You see, polished portraits are all well and good, but they're a little like those pre-packaged meals in the grocery store. Sure, they may look good on the outside, but when it comes to taste, they're lacking. 

This is me.

Hey. Nice to meet you.

Watch this and this should give you an idea of whether we’d be a good fit.
I’m incredibly serious and don’t play around at all as shown in this video so you’ve been warned.

Reveal Your Journey and Step Into The Unknown

Portrait photography has always been about capturing a moment in time, but with traditional posed photography, you're limited to just that - a single moment. A single word.

What about your story? The chapters lived. Adventures had. The journey that led you to this point, and the path you're on now? That’s where I come in.

There's a story to be told not just about where you've been, but where you're going. From the way your eyes shine in the darkness to the way your hair falls in perfect disarray after flowing in the wind, every detail will be crafted to tell your story in a way that's both captivating and unique.

Let me help guide you on this journey, helping you to uncover the story of who you are and where you're headed. Whether you're a creative looking to showcase your bold style, or a business professional who wants to make a statement, I’ll work with you to create portraits that truly represent the journey you're on and help show where you’re headed.

So why settle for a single moment frozen in time? Let’s tell a story of 1000 words. Take control of your own story and uncover the journey that led you here and the path you're on now with bold portrait photography. Book your photo shoot today and let us help you reveal your journey!

Tell your story.

You’ve got the words. Let me help you start the chapter. The best stories get you asking questions, and I’m here to help answer any you may have. So please, ask away and let’s start telling your story the way you want.

I am a portrait and landscape photographer based in Ludington, MI.
