I started my career as a photographer during my junior year of high school in 2013. I had no formal education in photography and film making. As a matter of fact, I studied Aeronautical Science, a fancy way of saying flying airplanes. Little did I know that a single google search that made me fall in love with photography, and editing video games footage, would not only help me create a business that made me happy, but also change I approached my many other passions in life.

I get a lot of questions about how I edit my travel photos on Instagram. These days, I’ve been switching between two main cameras: my Nikon Z8 and my iPhone 16 Pro Max. And honestly, with the ability to shoot RAW on mobile now, the iPhone has been coming in clutch more than I expected. […]
If you shoot with vintage lenses, cinema lenses, or anything that doesn’t electronically talk to your Nikon camera body, this post is for you. We’re talking about those old-school, manual, no-autofocus, aperture-ring beauties, technically known as non-CPU lenses. There’s a non-cpu lens setting tucked away in your Nikon Z8, Z9, and Z6 III that brings […]
Okay, so I feel like I’ve finally landed on a Nikon Z8 vlogging setup that actually makes sense. It’s not trying too hard. It travels well. It looks good. And it’s not doing the most. That last one matters. Because when you’re filming in public, walking through places like London or downtown Vancouver, you don’t […]
Oh my blog, how I’ve neglected you! I recently got together with an old friend of mine Lynn, yes we were socially distanced. I wanted to shoot some portraits to rebuild my portfolio as I’ve started shooting film. We met up in Downtown Holland very last minute. I had a session cancel on me just […]
Over the past few years as a portrait photographer serving the Grand Rapids area, and shooting world wide for that matter, I have been pretty ridged in my editing style. When I came into the industry, my fellow grand rapids photographers always stressed the importance of “having a style.” Because I was new, these photographers […]
It started with a text: she was getting engaged and she needed a photographer for engagement photos. But, there’s a catch: she’s in Toronto, and I am in Florida. I leaped with joy because I knew that it was at this moment I would become an international photojournalist! So after discussing some logistics, the plan […]
I remember when I first met Jasmin: when she introduced herself, she said she was going to be a Disney princess. Most people laughed and kinda scoffed it off as if it would never happen. Fast forward four years and she is, you guessed it, a Disney princess. What really stands out about Jasmin is […]
When I was born, I was hospitalized for 2 weeks because I had seveare asthma. Often times, with asthma comes sever allergies. Spring & I never quite see eye to eye. If you found yourself here, then you probably know the struggle of allergies. There are tons of brides who are allergic to flowers, and […]
It’s no secret that modeling is a tough industry to crack into. But what if there was a way you could start working on the dream even if you haven’t had that big break yet? I’ve worked with a few models over the past two years, and I’m here to expose to you some of […]
Marti & Daryl celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary with a photo session. They met as young adults at the gym. Marti was the cardio girl, and Daryl liked to pump iron. Being new to weightlifting, Daryl taught Marti how to lift weights. About 25 years, a house, and 3 kids later, they have reached the […]
