Get to know the photographer
Family & Lifestyle Portraits
Grand Rapids-based photographer, originally from Benton Harbor, Michigan, with roots in a long line of creatives. My path has taken me through stand-up comedy stages and a career in insurance sales, but photography has remained the constant, where creativity, discipline, and real-life experience come together.
Through VS2 Photography, I focus on capturing authentic moments across weddings, portraits, graduations, branding, and corporate events. My work is shaped by a belief in balance, family, career, and creativity all playing their part in how I see and document the world.
I’m a husband to my wife Keke, a father of three, and a grandfather of two. Everything I do is grounded in that foundation.
God Bless...

“Photography isn’t just about what I create, it’s about what I can give back. I want to help the next generation of photographers grow and win.”
"Photography is my outlet and my peace. It’s how I slow down and create at my own pace. It also provides for my family, pushes me to keep learning and getting better at my craft, and gives me the opportunity to build something lasting. Through my work, I want to leave a legacy for my kids, my peers, and keep my name alive long after I’m gone."
