"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another..."
I started Grantonic Photography because I’ve always believed photos are more than just snapshots — they hold feelings, memories, and all the little details that make a moment really matter. I’ve always loved looking through old photo albums — not just to learn about other people’s stories, but to relive my own, too. Whether it’s a simple smile, a big celebration, or the unplanned, messy moments full of laughter — that’s the stuff that inspires me. I want to make sure your photos bring those real emotions straight back to you, no matter how much time passes. And honestly, if my photos help someone feel seen, loved, and remind them of the beauty God has already put in their life — that means the world to me.
Why grantonic photography?

My goal as a photographer is pretty simple: to provide not only high-quality photos, but also a high-quality experience from start to finish. From the moment you first inquire to the moment I deliver your final gallery, I do my very best to make sure you are confident that I've got you taken care of.
When you're in front of the camera, you should feel comfortable, relaxed, and free to just be yourself. You can expect me to give a you some direction with poses and prompts, but I also love to mix things up and will get those candid shots whenever I see the opportunity!
I like to give you a variety — some of the more “put together” posed photos, along with those "perfectly-imperfect", real-life moments that could never be staged.
So whatever the occasion may be, if it’s a moment you want to remember, I’d love to help you capture it. I know choosing a photographer means putting your trust in someone — and that’s not something I take lightly.
I am beyond thankful for every person who has given me that trust and invited me in to capture a piece of their life. It is such a blessing to be able to serve people by doing something I love.
