grand rapids, MI


Since coming back to photography, I’ve done a few model calls, and I’m so grateful for every couple who has said yes and trusted me in this season of rebuilding my portfolio — especially those who also take the time to share feedback.


Dharius & Adrielle are one of those model call couples, and they were an absolute joy to photograph. They are so genuinely in love that I don’t think I could take a bad photo of them if I tried. Everything about them felt natural, easy, and completely relaxed, which made their gallery some of my favorite images I’ve ever taken.


Adrielle was also kind enough to share thoughtful words I can use on my website, along with insight into what she values as a client. That kind of feedback means so much to me. It not only encourages me, but it also helps me grow into the photographer I want to be for future couples.

This was also my first golden hour session since being back, and I forgot just how magical it is. The light, the colors, and the romantic feeling it creates are something I’ll never get over — it’s truly my favorite time to shoot.
