about
Hello!
My name is Audrey VanEssen and I am a portrait and lifestyle photographer from Grand Rapids, Michigan. This city and its beauty provides for excellent photography locations, and I never get sick of the wanderlust I experience in my hometown. My talented father was a film photographer growing up, so naturally I grew up with a camera constantly within arm’s reach. I started out with Canon, but now I am a Nikon girl through and through (sorry Dad!). I began creating my image as a photographer as an 18-year-old high school senior, and to this day continue to fashion a product that is both pleasing to the eye and pleasing to your heart. Tiny toes, abstract angles, vintage feels, and floral crowns inspire me, and I am never opposed to an idea you may have.
I adore any type of photography. Let’s whisper while I capture your sweet baby’s face while she dreams. I’ll chase your son around a park in order to get that perfect candid shot. I want to get your dream senior photo so when you look back to your yearbook in 20 years, you will still remember why you were voted best smile AND best hair as a teenager. I will pour my heart in my work so you can share the photos you love with friends and family later. All of that being said, I have a little secret. Weddings have become my niche. Want vintage? Let’s channel Grace Kelly. Want class? Let’s get inspired by Audrey Hepburn. Want whimsical? Calling Alice in Wonderland. I will work to create the images you want starting at the big picture and working our way down to the itty bitty details. We will work together to create a game plan for your big day, so you can enjoy it and not worry about a thing when that day arrives.
Thank you for your consideration in choosing me to be your photographer. Let’s work together to capture a moment in time for you to be able to look back to later and remember what you were feeling when the photo was taken. Let’s be artists together and create some photo magic. Emails are always answered within 24 hours. I am excited to hear from you!
