THE BACK STORY

I started my photography career as a commercial and advertising photographer in my hometown more than 15 years ago. Back then “digital photography” was just starting and being a photographer at a large multi-billion dollar company had its advantages, and pursuing digital was one of them. After the “downsize” of the entire staff I was forced to take on photography where ever I could. Having done one Grand Rapids wedding with a photographer friend, I knew from that day what I really loved. I was HOOKED! I loved the people, the excitement, the details, the love and happiness. The word spread about my work and before I knew it I was booking weddings like crazy! Adding Seniors and family portraits along the way was a natural progression. I like to keep the amount of weddings to around 20 per year. This keeps our creativity fresh and our love for it strong. I usually photograph 50-70 Seniors each year and around 20-40 family session….including babies. Advertising photography is still a huge part of my career doing 15-30 jobs each year.

Thank you for considering me to be your photographer! I look forward to hearing all about your big day and getting to know you more!
