This journey has been a road full of unexpected, yet cherished, detours that has landed me where I've truly meant to be. I spent many years gaining skills, building relationships, and learning from so many talented business owners across the US. I have lived many lives, documented many of my own stories, created lasting memories, and checked-off a lot of boxes on my bucket list.

Helping couples & families create a lasting legacy here in Michigan that can be cherished for generations.

I believe in

I graduated with a bachelors of science degree from the Los Angeles Film School in Graphic Design & Photography. It was during this time that I found my passion for visual storytelling. My goal is to tell your story from the moment it began to all of the chapters that follow. Coldwater Photography was created from the inspiration of documenting everyone's unique journey in this world. Whether it's the beginning of a new relationship, getting married, or starting a family, your story deserves to be told!
