About

My name is Gretchen, and I am a wife of 13 years, and the mama of 3 precious kiddos. I have been an artist my entire life, a passionate observer of the intricacies of creation & light, & an avid admirer of people & families- the greatest masterpiece of all. I have my BFA in Photography from Western Michigan University & have been photographing weddings professionally since graduating in 2007. I feel so incredibly blessed to be able to serve people through my artistic lens… the joy is immeasurable! Thank you so much for considering me in your search for the perfect photographer to capture your special event. I sincerely look forward to hearing how I can serve you.

Send me a message through my contact page to get the ball rolling! I will send you a questionnaire to get a few more details regarding your specific photo needs. If you are a newly engaged couple, I would love to hear about your vision for your wedding day or engagement session, event locations, a little bit about your love story, your favorite things as a couple, etc. If you have a senior- or little ones- tell me a bit about your style and favorite things as a family, and the kind of backdrop you’d like for your session. Portrait session pricing is here; wedding pricing is sent upon request. We’ll go from there!
