I live and work in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and I love photographing weddings across West Michigan, Detroit, and Chicago. My couples value genuine connection, joyful moments, and timeless storytelling through photography.

Hi, I'm KARA.

Fall 2021 Mini Sessions

12 back to back families at the Glass House Community for my fall mini sessions was an absolute blast. This venue is absolutely stunning and perfect for chilly days with a nice warm fire. Take a peek at this year’s images.
