Capturing bold, raw emotion through modern storytelling
Detroit & destination photographer
Inclusion & Trust
I strive to create a safe and welcoming space for everyone. All love is welcome and should be celebrated through the lens, capturing the authentic moments that reflect the diversity and beauty of the world around us.
I prioritize listening to you and understanding your unique ideas and vision. I am open to collaboration and feedback, ensuring that the final product is a reflection of you.
If there's one thing you can count on with me being your photographer, it's that we'll be having a blast! I believe that creating meaningful memories should be enjoyable and stress-free. I like to laugh and have fun with my clients, but I take immense pride in delivering photos that will be cherished for years to come.

The Love Notes
"My fiancé and I got engaged August of this year. We wanted fall engagement pictures so started looking for a photographer right away. We found Maxyne and she checked all of our boxes!! We walked away from taking engagement pictures and both of us were in awe at how fun of an experience it was. Maxyne made both of us feel so comfortable and was really able to capture us and our relationship perfectly. We cannot wait to continue to work with her for our October 2026 wedding!! We can’t recommend her enough!"

The Love Notes
"The world needs to know who Maxyne is! ...
Being around her just makes you feel like you have known her for forever and she makes you feel so comfortable. My husband is not a fan of getting his picture taken, and now he’s like "we have to have another photoshoot with Maxyne!" ...
She didn’t just capture our day and the people that were there. She captured the feeling of that day and all the emotions. I can see the captured moments play in my mind. I can feel what I felt just by looking back at our photos. We LOVE all of our photos."

The Love Notes
"Utterly blown away by the photography session we had with Maxyne. She was able to capture magic with our yoga teaching team. She was professional but also casual and made you feel really comfortable. She is great at capturing real moments that do not look posed or fake at all. We will 100% use her again for future events, shoots etc. Thank you so much Maxyne we will cherish these photos forever!"

"I cannot say enough good things about Maxyne and cannot thank her enough! Her work is absolutely gorgeous and she captured our elopement perfectly! She made us feel so comfortable (even in the many public places) and gave us direction so effortlessly to get the best shots. I cannot stop smiling when I look back at my wedding photos and I am desperately thinking of more photo opportunities to do with this incredible lady!"
