Introduction

HEY there! I’m so happy you made it to my little corner of the internet. I’m your smalltown Midwest native with a love for adventurous souls and tender love stories. Most days, you’ll find me tucked into a local café with a seasonal latte in hand, reflecting on the beautiful connections I get to capture. Photography is more than my career, it’s where my passion and purpose meet one another. I believe in documenting your love in its most authentic form so that years from now, you can hold onto the feeling of how it all unfolded. Beyond the lens, I’m someone who delights in simple yet tasteful pleasures (like my espresso), spontaneous adventure, and meaningful conversations that linger well after they’re over... follow below for “Fragments, curiosities, and the oddities that make me… me.”

~ I’m obsessed with the Fall season maybe for the feeling of change in itself. I find the atmosphere around me coming to life with the moody tones, fuzzy sweaters, crackling fires, and nostalgic magic. Like one long sensory lullaby. My favorite month being October (conveniently when all my lovely peeps want to tie the knot).

~ I have personally traveled to 23 different states (14 of those my business has visited) including the island of Puerto Rico! This past year I also lived out my dream of seeing Europe for the first time by adventuring across the Atlantic to Portugal, and was genuinely transformed by the cultural beauty I encountered.

~ Something about old things pull at my heartstrings. The smell of aged books lining solid mahogany shelves or a bit of static from my record player; point and shoot cameras with low battery life, or just watching home videos from my childhood. I love exploring thrift shops and discovering one-of-a-kind pieces to elevate my personal wardrobe. This deep desire to reach for something that “once was” has driven me to pursue the art of film photography and its authentic character. I now offer 35mm film in my wedding packages.

~ If I wasn’t documenting stories + creating art 24/7, I would highly consider becoming a travel agent because I’m a sucker for finding the best views, tastiest food, and most scenic route. Incorporating travel into my photographic career is the most rewarding experience I could ask for.

~ I’m expecting my first baby (a little boy) January 2026 and so thrilled to become a mom. I can’t wait to view the world through his eyes and allow this beautiful journey to shape my artistry and how I view life!

~ My dream is relocate to the mountains one day to raise my family and surround myself by things that inspire me daily. I dream of peaceful countryside with acres full of chickens, horses, a garden, and a wrap around porch so I can watch the sunset sink beneath the horizon whenever I please.

Vision

The experience offer you is one out of a dream world. One where you dance, and kiss, giggle, and run. I allow the poetry of my heart to show in my images and tell every unique story with rich tones and deep feels. Letting every moment mean something more than what’s visible on the surface. My artwork is a blend of various genres working in unison to create Bella Grace. I take a Storytelling approach by highlighting the little things that can go easily unnoticed, and fill in the gaps. This also goes along with a Documentary touch as I appreciate the raw unfiltered moments that add to the authenticity of the client. Of course, I still capture the moments that just can’t be missed and always hear out each client’s request for what is most meaningful to them.
