event photography that tells a story

I've had the privilege of shooting Pride events and parades (my personal favorite), protests, the Women's March, and art markets. Every single time, I leave with a full card and a full heart.

For events, I’m focused on capturing the people rather than what’s going on at the event. I set up my colorful backdrop (or yours) and let people come as they are — bold, joyful, fired up, tender, proud, or whatever else — and I snap away.

If you're hosting an event and you want someone who will honor the energy and help you tell the story of what it actually felt like to be there, let's talk!

how a photo booth setup works

  • We start with a conversation. Tell me about your event… the vibe, the crowd, and most importantly, what you want people to walk away feeling. I'll ask questions, share ideas, and we'll figure out together whether I'm the right fit. No pressure, just a real talk about what you're envisioning.

  • Once we're locked in with a $200 deposit, we'll nail down the details — location, timing, backdrop situation, and anything else that'll help the day run smoothly.

    I'll show up early, get set up, and make sure everything is ready before your first guest walks through the door.

  • This is where the magic happens. I invite people into my booth, free of charge to them. And I capture your brilliant attendees just as they are — candid, colorful, and full of life.

  • After the event, your images are edited and delivered. They will be ready for you to share, post, and pass along to the people who were there. I will capture your attendees’ emails during the event to send the photos to them, too. Because the best part of a great event is being able to relive it.

BACKDROPS: MINE OR YOURS?

I'm happy to work with your backdrop, or bring one of mine. I have a couple different ones to choose from. Either way, I'll make sure your attendees feel seen!

MY BACKDROP

Created by Grand Rapids’ muralist Rhiannon Sibbald, my backdrop features fun colors and shapes. And there’s no extra cost to use it!

The person on the left wears a gray jacket, black gloves, and blue shoes, holding a sign with text about supporting schools and healthcare. The middle person wears a tan beanie, purple jacket, beige pants, and hiking boots, holding a sign with messages about ending racism and supporting Palestine. The person on the right wears sunglasses, a headband, a maroon jacket, and jeans, holding a sign that says, ‘We the people not the king’.
