Sit back,
relax,
& let me capture
the real you
This isn’t just about a photo session—or even the pictures—it’s about you. Forget the stiff poses and forced smiles. Instead, think of it like taking a walk with a friend who just happens to have a camera in her hand. My process is simple, free-flowing, and centered on making you feel comfortable. You don't need experience or posing skills —my goal is simply to capture your true self.
The real you through my lens & his eye
My Approach
01.
Fill out the form
If you have questions or are ready to book, just fill out the form on my contact page. I’ll get back to you within a few days. Just a heads-up—I don’t work on Sundays, thanks for understanding ;)
02.
Let’s Make a Plan
We’ll find a date, get to know each other a bit, talk about your vision, and you can send me any inspiration or ideas you have. This helps me bring your ideas to life through your photos!
03.
Picture time
Final payment is due before the session (cash, check, or Venmo). Please arrive about 15 minutes early so we can get comfortable, chat, and make the most of your session. I’ll also explain how the editing and delivery process works so you know what to expect.
04.
Delivering photos
Within two–three weeks, you’ll receive your fully edited photos. Please be patient—especially during busy times of year! I hand-edit every single photo to make sure they’re the best they can be, not just applying a preset.
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
Relax and be yourself! You don’t need any experience. My goal is to capture your true self, so have fun with it. Laugh, move around, and enjoy the moment—the best photos happen naturally!
What should I wear?
Wear something that feels like you! Solid colors usually photograph well, but try to avoid anything that blends into your background. Feel free to bring a few options if you want variety. Most importantly, pick outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable.
How many pictures will I receive?
Every session is different, but even my shortest sessions include 50+ edited images. Each photo is carefully touched and edited to capture your special moment.
Are you available outside of Grand Rapids?
Yes! I love traveling for shoots. Reach out with your location, and we can chat about the details and travel arrangements.
What if it rains?
Not a problem! We’ll simply reschedule for a day with better weather.
Do you have a question?
I’d love to hear from you! If there’s anything you’re wondering—about your session, my process, or photography in general—just reach out. There is no such thing as a dumb question :)
