Where Art Meets Emotion


Hi, I’m Gracie! I’m a sentimental soul with a soft spot for dogs, a serious love for Dr. Pepper, and a camera that rarely leaves my side. I live in Midland, Michigan with my fiancé and our sweet pup, Remi; they’re the heart behind everything I do. Before photography, I earned my esthetician’s license and went back to college, but nothing felt quite as right as capturing real moments and turning them into something you can hold onto forever. I’m a bit of a perfectionist, but only because I care deeply about the stories I get to tell. If you’re someone who values the little things, I have a feeling we’ll get along just fine.

I truly believe I was meant to create art. I’m endlessly inspired by the world around me; movies, music, books, flowers, color, and everyday emotion. I don’t just want to take pretty photos; I want to stop time. I want your images to feel like movie stills, full of emotion, movement, and memory. When you look back at your photos, my hope is that you’ll feel everything all over again.


MY WHY

FOR INTENTIONAL
LOVE STORIES

I’ve been carrying a camera since I was a kid, long before I had the words to explain why I loved photography. I just knew that capturing a moment in time felt important. In 2020, I finally turned that quiet pull into something bigger. And now I get to do what I love for people in love.

My heart for this work runs deep and I’m here to tell your story with care, intention, and honesty. I want to be more than just your photographer. I want to be a calming presence, a trusted friend, someone who helps bring your vision to life and documents it all in a way that feels like you. I document your day exactly how it unfolds, capturing as many real moments as I can. The way your mom squeezes your hand The quiet glances, the chaos, the calm. I believe the little moments are the big ones.

This job is an honor, every single time and I never take that for granted.
