Moraine photography prints
A (not so) new passion
The Moraine Gallery shop in Leland, MI is open for the 2026 season and there's a few new things happening! The most noticeable being the addition of my film photography.
As a general life rule...where I go, my cameras go. From errand days around the Leelanau Peninsula to hiking trips halfway across the world, I always have at least one camera with me (more likely two+). I could easily call photography my first real big creative love. It is a passion I've kept so close to my heart. It's been my escape, as well as my place of grounding.. & that time out in the world has been the inspiration behind all of my textural and light-inspired jewelry.
Whether you realize it or not, you've seen my love of photography play out across social media and in marketing materials for years- and in opening the new Moraine gallery shop in Leland, I felt ready to share it in a new way. Photography prints!
I dove into my photo archive and picked out a range of images for the Leland shop. All film photography, most of which I'd describe as atmospheric & textural double exposures. Images to create a feeling in your home.

One-of-a-kind at the shop!
The gallery shop is always stocked with one-of-a-kind pieces! If they fit - it's meant to be! I made this playful half-moon Montana sapphire ring as if it were for myself! It found a home, but I get to see it around :) I am always up to create more fluid, playful forms!
Rachel's Ring
Hand-carved and cast using the client's heirloom gold. This sapphire and yellow gold stunner encapsulates everything I love about Moraine custom jewelry! A practical. wearable and meaningful treasure that feels like a piece of a summer day!
Amanda's Ring
Custom cast-in-place Unearthed Reflect Ring. We had so much fun picking out a selection of lake-toned sapphires together at the shop in Leland. Small white and green diamonds were added to bring it all together!
Abby's Ring
Heirloom emerald & heirloom gold! We repurposed some incredibly meaningful materials into this gorgeous partial bezel Reflect ring. By casting in house, I am able to ensure that all of your heirloom materials are directly repurposed into your dream piece!
Holly's Ring
I love when engagement ring clients take materials from both families to create a custom engagement ring! We used heirloom stones to create this truly one-of-a-kind hand-carved stunner. So much light and movement!
