my philosophy

My approach to photography is all about giving you an experience to remember. Your photographs are your legacy.

 

Because your senior year isn't basic....and your photos shouldn't be either.



This season of your life deserves more than stiff poses and cookie-cutter setups. I’m here to make you feel confident, celebrated, and 100% seen. Every session is built around your vibe — your style, your personality, your story.


We’ll choose locations that match your aesthetic, outfits that make you feel unstoppable, and create images that actually feel like you — not some Pinterest copy-paste moment.


I’ll hype you up, guide you the whole way, and capture the real, confident, one-of-a-kind version of you. Because your senior year isn’t basic… and your photos shouldn’t be either.

Capturing this season of your family — the giggles, the chaos, and the moments you’ll miss more than you think.


Life moves fast, and in the middle of all the chaos, it’s easy to forget just how meaningful these everyday moments really are.


During our session, I welcome the fun, the movement, and the laughter — while also making space for the quiet, subtle, and beautifully messy in-between moments. The real stuff. The authentic connection. The images that feel like you.


My heart is in creating photographs that bring you right back to this season — the ones that make you smile every time you see them. Because no matter what chapter you’re in, it deserves to be remembered.

Frequently asked questions

Are the travel expenses included in your packages or covered additionally?

I’m based in Gaylord, MI — and YES, I absolutely love to travel! I’m always up for a new adventure and exploring new locations with you.


For sessions more than 40 miles outside of Gaylord, a small travel fee may apply, typically ranging from $25–$100 depending on the location. I’ll always go over this with you upfront before you book, so there are no surprises.


And don’t worry — I have plenty of beautiful location suggestions that don’t require any additional travel fee. We’ll find the perfect spot that fits your vision and your budget.

I'm awkward and shy in front of the camera, is that okay?

I know being in front of the camera can feel nerve-wracking — truly, I get it. My goal as your photographer is to make sure you feel completely comfortable from start to finish.


I have a few tricks up my sleeve to help you relax, loosen up, and actually enjoy the experience. I’ll guide you through posing every step of the way, while keeping everything natural and true to you.


No modeling experience required — I promise.

I'm only wanting a few photos, do you offer mini sessions?

I offer a very limited number of mini sessions throughout the year, and all details are announced on my Facebook page.


Mini sessions take place on a specific date selected by me, at a predetermined location, with scheduled 15-minute time slots booked back-to-back. Because of the shorter timeframe, mini sessions include a limited number of images and are designed for smaller groups—typically no more than five people.


Mini sessions are perfect for those who want just a handful of updated photos without committing to a full-length session. They’re quick, simple, and a great way to capture beautiful moments in a shorter amount of time.

What should I wear to my session?

The key is choosing outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable. If you feel good, it will show in your photos.


I recommend avoiding large logos or busy patterns, as they can be distracting on camera. Solid colors or subtle, soft patterns tend to photograph beautifully and keep the focus on you.


And if you’re unsure, please don’t stress! I’m always happy to chat and help you narrow down options or give a few styling tips
