Where do I draw my inspiration?
Mostly from YOU!!
I get inspired by watching you laugh at your engagement shoot and cry at your wedding.
I get inspired by helping you learn to pose as a model or by teaching you how to use a camera as a photographer.
I get inspired by the light as it glides over your face how it looks when it makes the twinkle in your eyes.
I love to capture your moments and I am mindful of the need to deliver a quality product that you will cherish for generations.

The dogs were excited and nervous but eventually settled down and let me take some photos. The dogs loved this chair. They look like royalty sitting on a throne. Here Annie was stealing...

High roll-away is a hidden gem known mostly by the locals of Traverse City and the surrounding area. I’ve been there a few times when I was younger but couldn’t remember exactly how to get there. Fortunately I found instructions online. The road that leads to the scenic overlook gives you the impression that you...

We started in the lobby of the Quality Suites hotel on Lansing’s Westside and then moved to Cooley Gardens and, later, the bridge on Shiawassee. Cooley Gardens seemed like a popular spot for senior pictures in Lansing. There were three or four...
