"I think I'm quite ready for another adventure."

- Bilbo Baggins

And let's make that adventure a good one.

Hey! I'm Grace

and I want to get to know you and your story.

here's a little of mine

I’ve been taking photos for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been working with people in this field since high school. Business grew through college when I photographed my first wedding in 2016. I absolutely fell in love. Since then, I’ve had the blessing of capturing countless love stories and precious moments across the Midwest.
I got married in 2020 and just had our first baby earlier this year. We live in a cute house we’re slowly making our own, full of way too many plants and pets. We watch The Lord of the Rings trilogy (extended edition, of course) at least twice a year, love to go antiquing, and can’t get enough snuggles with our little girl.
I'm a romantic who's way too sentimental for her own good, and being a mom has just made that even stronger. I want to capture these wonderful memories with you so when you look back at the photos, you can step back in time and relive those moments again and again.

things I love:
coffee, late nights, dark colors, fall, Bucky Barnes, books, flowers, Frasier, bad jokes and puns, oversized flannels, old brickwork, living in the country, Halloween, snow, writing letters, the moon, Doc Martens, trees, Narnia, foxes and bats, sunrises, getting-to-know-you questions, mountains, Greek mythology, thunder and rain, musicals, ice cream, playing the piano

things I don’t quite love:
getting up early, hot pink, summer, goodbyes, lima beans, poison ivy, chaos, heights, the beach, baseball, small spaces, missing people, country music, glitter, roller coasters, big polka dots

kind words from past clients

"Grace was the BEST wedding photographer I could have asked for. She took something I was incredibly anxious about and made it an ABSOLUTE blast! I knew from the moment I got engaged that I wanted a photographer like her, who saw photography as an art and not just a staged production.
Grace was incredibly responsive, she let me ask a thousand questions (even the dumb ones) and answered with patience and kindness. She walked me through the parts of wedding planning I wasn't sure about and she made sure we stayed connected. Even though we were unable to meet in person until the wedding day, I felt like we had been friends for ages!
She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera (a true miracle!) and she captured all of the most important parts of our day with simplicity, elegance, and magic. I can't recommend her enough!"

-Emma

"Grace is AMAZING!! After finding her work on instagram, I was absolutely set on having her for our wedding. She listened to exactly what we had in mind and is just so kind and fun to work with!! Just take a look at her portfolio, her work is just so DREAMY. That’s the only word I can use to describe her work I am obsessed. She is so creative with her shots and I love how artistic her sessions feel. Anytime I see other shoots she has had, I get jealous and want to book another session."

-Mikayla

"Grace was an amazing person to have in my corner on my wedding day. She made the whole process go so smoothly, and her years of experience really guided any and all questions my husband and I had. She made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and we had so much FUN. She beautifully captured some of the best moments of my life, and I would recommend her to everyone I know."

-Isabella

"Grace. What amazing things I have to say about her. I think I will ask Grace to take pictures for me for the rest of my life. From engagement pictures, boudoir photos, and my wedding I could have never pictured a better individual to capture these important moments. Not only is she an excellent photographer but she is such a kind soul as well. I never felt rushed one bit during my special day and Grace really helped us soak up every moment possible."
