HI, I'M SIMONE
A SNAPSHOT

OMG I didn't even know she captured that!
"It was wonderful reviewing the photos and seeing so many, "omg I didn't even know she captured that!" moments. With having such a small wedding in an intimate place like J Bar M Ranch, we wanted to work with someone we know and trusted and could kind of relinquish power to. It was nice having one less thing to worry about and have you coach us up/give instructions! You are absolutely amazing at what you do. Your knowledge of locations, timing, angles, lighting, etc is incredible and helped us capture photos of our wedding we didn't even know were possible and had never seen in wedding shoots before. In addition, you're so open to working with how we wanted to be worked with. You roll with things and provided subtle guidance and instructions letting us lead the way."
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
WORKING WITH SIMONE
Simone takes a client-first approach to wedding photography. She has fine-tuned posing that looks and feels natural to each client, and listens, adapts, and is highly intentional in every situation. Simone's approach is not one-size-fits-all. Each client requires different guidance, attention, and support. Having been in the industry for nearly 5 years, Simone has worked with clients from various walks of life.
Simone shoots with an editorial, documentary, and candid approach and her edits true to color. She has captured traditional, non-traditional, and multi-cultural weddings in Michigan, the United States, and abroad.
Most of Simone's clients have never been professionally photographed before aside from an engagement shoot with her. She promises she'll tell you what to do with your hands, how to position yourself in a flattering way, and makes sessions fun and easy.
You can expect Simone to bring the exact energy required for a moment. A calm and reassuring presence, an upbeat and fun one, disappearing into the wall, or commanding a room full of family.
Simone works well with almost anyone, but works best with people who find her hilarious.
