I'm a wife, mother, and storyteller. A typical Aries and probably barefoot. I'm a Michigan based documentary photographer specializing in weddings and elopements, but I enjoy capturing all the milestones in my clients lives including graduations, growing families, and self-love sessions. I'm a huge empath so I might cry at your wedding—but I'll be good at reading the room. I've been photographing humans, love, and nature for over ten years and I am so grateful I get to call this my "job" because it never actually feels like work. I was raised in a photography studio as a kid and then pursued filmmaking after high school, so documenting life, stories, and emotion have always been something I am passionate about. So let's be friends and create some magic!!!
"Tianna shot our recent wedding and it was absolutely amazing! The most beautiful photos. She is very creative and gives a lot of options for more than just the typical posed photos.

"I could not have had a better experience for my senior pictures, Tianna got back to me extremely quickly, and her communication was amazing. She incorporated everything that means a lot to me and was able to portray it all exactly- from my horse at the barn to my truck at the park. I have never been so excited to get pictures back before, and she did not disappoint! I could talk for hours about how amazing her service and her skill is!" - Allie H.

I call the beautiful Great Lakes state home, but I've always had an adventurous soul. I've lived in Colorado and on the east coast, explored most of the USA, and visited other continents like Europe and Asia. So, I'm always up to travel and join you on your next big trip! Whether it's exploring the mountains of the Rocky Mountain Range, trekking through the red stone deserts of Utah, playing on the beaches of the Atlantic, or hiking the backwoods of Northern Michigan — you can count me in. I'm here to help you plan, navigate, and capture your next adventure, so let's explore together!!!
I'm not your average photographer that will be making you do all of those boring and traditional poses. Think of me as your personal hype-girl or the best third wheel! I like to take the pressure off my clients by having a more laidback and natural approach. I may give you direction or a suggestion, but for the most part I just let my clients be themselves. So I witness, observe, and try to pause time by documenting every raw emotion and candid moment.
