BEHIND THE LENS (& Screen)
Hello, hello!!
Welcome to my website & thank you so much for stopping by! Let's start with the random stuff, much like I'll do at our sessions!
​
Fun/Random Facts
-
I have one son, whom I tend to refer to as my "wild child"
-
I have one doggo, who is a beagle/boxer & has all the sass
-
I'm a sucker for a good view - sunset, sunrise, Northern Lights, the beach & lake, but anything really...
-
I love art & art museums. Vincent Van Gogh is probably my favorite and I love so many of his pieces, but Starry Night is quite possibly my all-time favorite, so much so that I have it tattooed on my arm. I also was able to finally see Starry Night in person in 2021 (talk about geeked!)
-
I love (almost) all types of music, so if you want to play music during your session to feel more relaxed, please do!
-
I was finally able to check a couple of photographic things off my photography bucket list in 2024 - seeing the Northern Lights & capturing lighting - all from my own yard! I was SO excited!
-
I'm a graduate of Saginaw Valley State University - #ForeverRed
Where did you come up with your business name? Dietz Creativez utilizes my maiden name! In the Spring of 2022, my father passed away, in the Summer of 2022 my son was born, and in the Fall of 2022 I rebranded from Photography Loves Laughter (I loved that name too!). The short version of the why behind the rebrand was heavy on honoring my father and showing my son that you should always chase your dreams.
​
Let's talk photography - I've had a camera in hand since I was a little girl. I've always had a passion for photography and capturing the moments that you'll want to look back on later in life. Being able to hold a moment in your hands forever is a magical and amazing thing, which is why I love having the ability to capture those moments for you!
​
Set aside life for a moment and think about the last time you had a photograph of yourself and your loved ones or just photos of yourself to boost your confidence....is it time? Yes? Then it's time to get in touch with me and let me capture you, your life, and your milestones!
​
Choosing a photographer to capture the special and memorable moments in your life can be tough but I'm here to help! Covering everything from graduation to getting married to your band putting on an amazing show. I am an on-location, travel-loving photographer! I've covered everything from weddings to babies to sporting events and concerts. I love to try new things, so please don't hesitate to ask! Let's talk about what you're looking for in your photos because, after all, you're the one hanging them on the wall!

​
Let's talk graphic design & social media - I've loved putting things together for as long as I can remember. I enjoy taking ideas from paper to the digital realm. Graphic design is a part of your everyday life whether you realize it or not. Your cereal box this morning to the news article you read, all have been touched by graphic design. Let's talk about what you're looking for, whether it's a logo, an update to your website, helping you launch your socials, or creating content for your socials!
​​
​
I can't wait to hear from you and talk about your next session or project!​
Have the best day!
