As both a writer and photographer,
my passion is pairing prose and photos to create a compelling story.
I am thrilled to announce my debut coffee table book is to be published by Artisan in 2026!
Lakeside Living will be an ode to summer days on freshwater shores pairing my lake life photography—beaches, boating, sand dunes, sunsets—along with creative essays on how to slow down and savor the sacred summer season.

I am equal parts world-traveler & homebody. I enjoy writing about my international adventures, but I also love featuring the people, places, and businesses that make my home, Michigan, worth coming back to at the end of every trip.
My writing has been published in Grand Rapids Magazine, Michigan BLUE Magazine, and Midwest Living. My hope is always that my words would both inspire readers to see the world, and encourage them to find their place in it.
