Let's get to know each other!
I’m a 20-something Detroit photographer addicted to coffee, Friends and long walks in the park. Making art brings me to life like nothing else, and every day I thank God that I am able to do that for a living!
In October of 2023, I married my best friend (I got allll the wedding tips for you!) and love nothing more than spending time with our furry rescue pup Lola and our vocal kitty Cornell.
I definitely have a laid-back personality, but when I’m in my element getting creative I get super giddy! I absolutely LOVE what I do! As a Detroit wedding photographer, I get to meet amazing people and help them have the BEST day of their lives while creating images they will cherish forever.

I BELIEVE:
it's the little details that can make or break an experience; these are my non-negotiables:
I've been fascinated by photography since I was a kid, but it wasn't until after college when I found a passion for creating art and capturing life's precious moments. My mother surprised me with my first DSLR in 2017, before I ever knew how much I loved photography. Next thing I knew, I was running a business! I guess she knew something I didn't.
My mother unexpectedly passed away just two days after she gave me this gift. I then realized how important taking photos really is, and it became my passion to help people capture every moment because every minute with your loved ones is precious.
Fast forward to 2021 and I decided to offer photos professionally. I’ve trained under some of the largest wedding photography companies in Michigan to learn the ins and outs of serving engaged couples.
All of my clients give me purpose and always bring so much joy to my life!
Why I do What I do:
Photography is the only superpower that can freeze time and hold it forever: Why not take advantage of it?
"I had my maternity and newborn baby pics with Savannah and had a wonderful experience! She was excellent with my twins, and my photos + family pics came out perfect.
I shared some inspo pics for the twins and she was able to bring it to life! She shared the props she was bringing ahead of time and my twins were in excellent hands with her during the shoot. I highly recommend her!"
"We loved doing our maternity and newborn photos with Savannah! With our maternity photos, she was great at directing us into the right poses, and worked really well with our pups!
She came to our house for the newborn photos and was gentle, calm, and kind with our two weeks old daughter. She was able to wrap her up, and get her into the cutest positions. We've loved all the photos we've gotten back. It's hard to choose which ones to print and frame from them all! Couldn't recommend her enough! 11/10!"
