Before building my business, I was a burned out social worker desperately needing a change. I started my business and fell  in love with the personal branding & high school senior genres of photography.

I'm a midwest girl!  live in MIchigan with my husband, our two boys, lots of chickens, our two cats, and our energetic dog. We split our time between our house in Chelsea and our cottage in the Irish Hills area.

I'm a midwest girl with big dreams! I live in MIchigan with my husband, our two boys, lots of chickens, our two cats, and our energetic dog. We split our time between our house in Chelsea and our cottage in the Irish Hills area.

I've been a bridesmaid 13 times.

Roller skating is a love of mine and I used to play roller derby.

I started growing a wildflower field on our property last year and I'm obsessed. I'm going to 10x it this year (watch my social media for behind the scenes of shoots there).

I host a podcast called The Portrait System.

Before I had a family, I traveled alone to countries including Cambodia, Nepal, Costa Rica, and Thailand. Sounds cheesy, but those trips helped me "find myself". 

Foodie. I'm for sure a foodie. And a beer snob.

I started a non-profit that provided autism advocacy and education in developing countries. 

My husband and I have been together since 2006. We met at a Built to Spill concert in Detroit. He's very handy and much more patient than I am.

My kids Van & Dre both challenge me and make my heart burst with love many, many times a day. 

I'm very comfortable in a dive bar and also at a 5 star restaurant...although, I prefer a dive bar ;) 

I'm a recent country music convert and I'm still quite shocked about it haha.
