my story
I graduated from Michigan State University, before moving out to Los Angeles to work in film production. While I was there, I worked on a number of different high-production sets for brands such as Disney+, Netflix, and HBO, learning lighting techniques and directorial skills. I had the honor of writing a commercial that aired during the Oscars for FX on Hulu's Mrs. America.
While I began photographing portraits in college, I expanded my portfolio by working with professional models in LA, shooting both fashion and beauty work.
After moving back to Michigan, I began shifting my focus to photographing weddings, where I fell in love with connecting with clients, and capturing the love and joy of such a beautiful occasion.
