Capturing bold raw emotion through modern storytelling

Detroit & destination photographer

I'm a Michigan-based photographer, capturing love and life in all its messy, raw, and bold glory. I'm all about telling intentional stories through my lens - from the big moments to the tiny details. And when I'm not busy snapping pics of fabulous humans like you, you can catch me living my best life by traveling, exploring new food hotspots, and snuggling up on the couch with my main squeeze (that's my hubby, not my camera) and our floofy friend, Charlie.

Seriously, just stop your search here. You found your photographer. Maxyne is so sweet and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She truly cares and is so personable. And the outcome is amazing!!! I love the photos we got back and can't wait for our wedding! She chooses to provide a complimentary engagement photo session so she can meet you, which I know will make the wedding day so much easier since we know her. Couldn't recommend her enough!!

Maxyne is the best! We were so nervous for our first family photos but she made the process easy from start to finish. She took all the stress out of deciding what to wear and where to go. During the photo session, her teaching experience made a huge difference. She helped our toddler have fun while getting the perfect shot. We plan to work with her every year if not every season! Thank you Maxyne!!

LOVE NOTES

Inclusion & Trust

I strive to create a safe and welcoming space for everyone. All love is welcome and should be celebrated through the lens, capturing the authentic moments that reflect the diversity and beauty of the world around us.

Communication

I prioritize listening to you and understanding your unique ideas and vision. I am open to collaboration and feedback, ensuring that the final product is a reflection of you.

Passion & Fun

If there's one thing you can count on with me being your photographer, it's that we'll be having a blast! I believe that creating meaningful memories should be enjoyable and stress-free. I like to laugh and have fun with my clients, but I take immense pride in delivering photos that will be cherished for years to come.
