I'm a Lansing, Michigan area wedding photographer based in Grand Ledge. For the last 15 years, I've photographed weddings and portraits throughout the mitten state! Are you worried about feeling awkward in your photographs? Say no more! My specialty is making you feel completely comfortable (and look incredible) so that you can relax and have a great time.
If you want to love your photos and love how you felt while taking them, I have the magic you're looking for. You're going to love being in front of my camera! This ain't your momma's senior session. I mean, don't get me wrong; I'll totally get the happy, genuine-laughter-filled, beautiful images that makes mom's heart sing.

I'm a Michigan girl with more enthusiasm and spunk than you'd ever believe could fit in a 5-foot frame. I'm equal parts "let me write you a reassuring email about how I'm so proud of you as a person and you can't be held down by some media-pushed idea of physical perfection that doesn't account for the beauty of your soul" and "here's a butt meme I found on reddit at 3am lol".
Does the idea of being photographed make your heart race? Don't worry! From giving you simple directions (so you look your best) to making you laugh so hard you forget there's even a camera around, I'm the bossy bestie you need. I'm the bossy bestie you need. I'll give you simple directions (so you look your best) and make you laugh so hard you'll forget I even have a camera at all!
With 15+ years of experience, I'm the Lansing and Grand Ledge, Michigan family photographer you're looking for! Maternity sessions are a celebration of little one's coming arrival, as well as an opportunity to feel adored! Whether you want to keep it light and casual or make a big splash in something more formal, I'll make sure you have images that you'll adore forever.
Many seniors are reluctant or nervous about getting their photographs done. I completely understand! That's why I use prompts and games (and my unbridled enthusiasm) to move the session along effortlessly. You'll forget that I even had a camera there! I can't tell you how many times I've heard: "that was WAY more fun than I thought it was going to be!"
Whether you're looking to buy your very first flash, or you're a long-time pro who rocks the "one on-camera + one off-camera" setup and wants to graduate to the next level, I can make you feel powerful in any lighting situation (AND save you a ton of money on buying random crap that you don't actually need).

I had a FABULOUS experience with Heather!! I'm admittedly squeamish near a camera and am basically as photogenic as a feral cat, but Heather was hilarious and perfect and made me feel comfortable and confident. I also really appreciated that she listened to my needs, getting through posed photos quickly and focusing on candid fun shots. The results were gorgeous and genuine photographs of my friends and family — I feel like I get to relive my wedding all over again! I would highly recommend her to anyone and will absolutely be going back if/when I do a maternity shoot :)

Heather is the best photographer in the business. My fiancé (!!!) worked with Heather for a surprise proposal. I was told that he had scheduled a fall mini session for us, and when I met Heather she was professional, kind, and hilarious! She has such a casual demeanor - I have NEVER felt more comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera!
My fiancé and I have no family around the area, so he heavily relied on Heather to help him out, and she absolutely delivered. Towards the end of the session she had me close my eyes and prepared my fiancé for the proposal! The pictures are absolutely breathtaking

My wife choose Heather for our engagement photos and later on our wedding photos. Not really knowing what to expect, I told my wife that I did not want to be bossed around and made to be posed in forced poses and group photos. Heather eliminated all those fears within 5 minutes of our engagement photo session. Heather made us both feel comfortable and went above and beyond in every way, going over our time limit because she saw the potential in the lighting and backdrop. At the wedding every photo that was captured made me feel like I was in the action. So much was captured that we felt like we
