Hi, I’m Shae!

A full-time, all year-round photographer based in beautiful Traverse City, Michigan. I specialize in surprise proposals, engagements, lifestyle, and portrait photography. My passion lies in capturing the real, unscripted moments that tell your story, the laughter, emotion, and little details that make each session uniquely yours. Whether we’re celebrating a once-in-a-lifetime “yes” or documenting everyday magic. With a background in horticulture, I have a deep appreciation for plants and the beauty of the natural world. I share my life with two dogs & cats, and my supportive, loving husband.

My photography focuses on candid moments and the quiet beauty of everyday life. I specialize in lifestyle imagery that feels real and heartfelt. I’m always up for an adventure! Whether you’re planning something local or far from home, just let me know your vision and I’ll meet you there.
