let's get to know each other

Hey, I'm Shalyn

I’m a Michigan photographer capturing weddings, boudoir, maternity, and all the beautifully real moments in between.

I’m pretty down to earth, a little silly, and probably laughing right alongside you during your session. More than anything, I want people to feel comfortable with me because that’s usually when the best moments happen naturally.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually hanging out with my girls, surviving on caffeine, or fully embracing spooky season the second fall hits.

I’ve never wanted my sessions to feel stiff or overly posed. I want people to feel comfortable enough to relax, have fun, laugh a little, and just exist naturally in the moment.


I’m pretty laid back in my approach and try to create an environment that feels calm, easy, and genuine from the start. We usually spend a lot of the session talking, joking around, and getting comfortable together before people even realize they’re being photographed anymore.


I’ll absolutely help guide you when needed, demonstrate poses, and give direction throughout your session, but I never want things to feel forced or intimidating. My goal is always to create something that feels personal to you and bring your vision to life in a way that still feels natural.


Some of my favorite moments to capture are the little details people may not even realize they’ll miss someday. The rings, the tiny movements, the special pieces they intentionally included, the in-between moments that end up meaning the most later.


More than anything, I just want people to walk away feeling happy, comfortable, confident, and genuinely excited about the memories we created together.
