Hey there!

My name is Brettina. I am a Michigan wedding photographer who also specializes in families. I live near Lapeer, Michigan with my wife and two dogs. I travel frequently to Detroit, Metro Detroit, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Chicago, New York City, and honestly almost every city in Michigan. (I also travel out of state and country!)


Feel awkward in front of the camera or never know how to pose yourself? No worries! One of my main goals is to make everyone feel comfortable and beautiful (and I'll definitely let you know what to do with your hands). Every single person is different and they cannot be photographed the same way. I strive for inclusivity in my work and representing the beauty in everyone.


In my free time, you'll find me drinking coffee, reading a book, watching reality tv, or playing video games. Want to see if we would be a good fit? Check out my About Me page for more info about myself and my photography journey.
