Hi, I’m Shae!

I’m a full-time, year-round, true-to-color photographer based in beautiful Traverse City, Michigan. I specialize in surprise proposals, engagements, lifestyle sessions, and portrait photography.

My passion is capturing genuine, unscripted moments—the laughter, emotion, and little details that make your story uniquely yours. Whether we’re celebrating a once-in-a-lifetime “yes” or documenting the everyday moments you never want to forget, I create heartfelt images that feel natural and true to you.

With a background in horticulture, I have a deep appreciation for plants, beautiful scenery, and the natural world. When I’m not behind the camera, I share my life with my loving and supportive husband, our two dogs, and our two cats.

I’m always ready for a new adventure! Whether you’re planning something here in Northern Michigan or somewhere far from home, share your vision with me, and I’ll meet you there.
