Grand Rapids Maternity Photographer

Maternity

This maternity session may go down being one of my favorites ever! Being a Grand Rapids photographer is so fun but there’s just something special about maternity photos. Celebrating with two parents who are excitedly awaiting the arrival of their greatest blessing…knowing that this sweet baby is going to change their lives for only better. […]

Portraits

This beautiful family is so special to us. Bree is a part of my daughter’s medical team, turned clients, turned friends….but I’m not sure in which order 😉 I love seeing them whenever we can…we even traveled to NYC last year and stayed with them, visiting the Statue of Liberty and eating the best pizza.

Images that they’ll love forever! One of my favorite memories in my career has been shooting big brother, Chip’s, newborn photos a few years […]

Alex and Carley’s summer wedding day started with the two of them saying “I do” at Mayflower Congregational Church and then celebrating at Cascade Hills Country Club.

Hoffmaster Park Senior Session

Seniors

Hailey is gorgeous…obviously. I mean, look at her beautiful smile! We met at Hoffmaster State Park for her senior session on a cloudy summer night and we had so much fun.
