Family life is rarely a series of perfectly posed moments—it’s a collection of personalities with fast-moving parts and quiet connections. From the high-energy joy of siblings racing through a field of milkweed to the timeless dignity of a multi-generational portrait, I specialize in capturing your family exactly as you are.

Based in Grand Rapids, I photograph families throughout West Michigan — including Grandville, East Grand Rapids, Jenison, Hudsonville, Byron Center, Caledonia, Forest Hills, and Holland, among other communities throughout the region. Don’t see your town listed? Just reach out — I’d love to hear about your session.

Not sure if a posed portrait session or documentary-style coverage is the better fit? See which type of session is right for your family for a closer look at both, and check out the what to wear guide before your own session.
