Where You Shoot Matters, But Not How You Think
Detroit has no shortage of beautiful locations, but the best photos come from choosing a space that actually fits your energy. From iconic architecture to quiet corners, here’s where to start.
More than a photographer.
You don’t just need someone to take photos.
You need someone who can read a room, fix a timeline, calm nerves, and tell you when there’s lipstick on your teeth.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Magan — photographer, strategist, honorary bridesmaid, timeline fixer, snack fetcher, lighting wizard, and the person who will absolutely tell you when your hair looks incredible (or fix it so it does).
My job is to make sure you feel:
relaxed
confident
fully yourself
So your photos don’t look posed.
They look lived in.
People don’t just book me. They keep me.
Hi, I’m Magan
(Yes pronounced May-gan 😉)
I’m married to my best friend Jared, who joins me at weddings as second photographer, gear carrier, snack runner, chauffeur, and all-around MVP.
We’ve got four incredible kids, two dogs named Cookie and Cinnamon, and a life that’s beautifully full — which is probably why I care so deeply about capturing yours.
I’m trained in cosmetology, which means I notice details most photographers miss.
I’m calm under pressure.
And I’m the person you want around when things get a little chaotic.
Working Together Feels…
-
You’ll always know you’re in good hands. I guide when it’s helpful, step back when it matters, and keep everything moving with a steady, relaxed presence. No guesswork, no pressure — just clear direction that makes the experience feel effortless.
-
You don’t need to know how to pose or perform. Most clients tell me they forget the camera is even there. I create an environment that feels natural and easy, so your photos reflect who you actually are — not a version of you trying to “do it right.”
-
My role goes well beyond taking photos. Whether it’s adjusting a timeline, fixing a detail, keeping energy grounded, or making sure you feel confident and taken care of, I’m there to support the entire experience from start to finish.
-
Every image is created with purpose. I’m paying attention to light, movement, emotion, and the in-between moments that make everything feel real. The result is a gallery that feels cohesive, elevated, and true to the experience you had — not just how it looked, but how it felt.
