Meet the Team

Hi, I'm Claire Koopman.


I am a photographer based in the Metro-Detroit area. High school seniors are my thing but I also specialize in family, engagement and portrait photography. When I'm not behind the camera you can find me in a cozy coffee shop sipping iced vanilla lattes or out with the girls, eating sushi and dancing the night away! I'll never say no to a day spent shopping, ordering in and binge watching my favorite Netflix show or spontaneously catching a flight to who knows where.


I've always loved capturing the beauty in everything and everyone around me. If you're in front of my lens, I can assure you, I will be right by your side. I will help you pose, guide your facial expressions, pay attention to detail, and making you look and feel your best. It is my goal with all my clients to make sure that they feel confident, worthy, loved and heard through the full, Claire K Photo, experience. I look forward to the chance to get to know you and work together to make your dream photoshoot a reality.

Hi, I'm Olie West.


I’d love to hear your story so we can create something extraordinary together.


I’ll go first. This is who I am.


All you need to know about me is that I love to have fun, meet new people and try new things. I come from a huge family & am always up for a spontaneous adventure. Aside from making a killer breakfast, learning new songs on the guitar and working out, I am passionate about capturing memories.


What you have caught on film is captured forever...It remembers the little things, long after you have forgotten everything. I want you to be sure the experience I give you is everything you could dream of & more.
