Hydrangea Blu Family Photos

arrow

Families & Children

Goodness, the fall colors were stunning this year weren’t they?! I met up with this beautiful family at Hydrangea Blu for their family photos – one of my favorite places, especially in the fall! The fields are gorgeous, the trees are stunning and add in a family like this and I’m in photographer heaven! Momma […]

Ada Covered Bridge Family Photos

Families & Children

I met up with this stunning family for their extended family photos at the Ada covered bridge. It is basically what I think of when I think of fall or a scene in a picture-perfect Hallmark movie with cider, donuts, pumpkins and anything autumn related. This landmark is certainly a Grand Rapids favorite! Mom and […]

Pictured Rocks Wedding Photography

Weddings

Oh guys….I don’t even know where to begin with this special day. Kyrie and Andy were so much fun to be around. I still can’t believe that we were lucky enough to be such a small part of their day. Wedding photography in any location is special but taking photos for a couple at Pictured […]

Hoffmaster State Park Family Photos

Families & Children

Hoffmaster State Park was quite a favorite place this year for family photos and portraits! The background is simply stunning and is sadly one of the few public beaches in West Michigan that has a good amount of beach left. I just love it there! I met up with this beautiful family on an early […]

Calvin College Family Photos

Families & Children

This sweet family is Haven and her momma! We met at Calvin College this fall for their family photos and had so much fun. We threw handfuls of leaves, laughed until our cheeks hurt, walked over waterfalls…..I’d say it was way more than just a boring ‘ol photoshoot 😉 I can just hear Haven’s silly […]

This beautiful family belongs to one of my favorite wedding couples from 2013 (I can’t believe I even typed that….how was it over seven years ago?!?). We met at the beach in Muskegon (PJ Hoffmaster Park to be exact) for the family photos and it was absolutely beautiful. It was early October and sunny so […]

Calvin College Family Photo Session

Portraits

Isn’t this family crazy adorable?! I met up with them at Calvin College for their family photo session where they love to go on family walks. We looked for ducks to feed but settled for squirrels, laughed and laughed till our faces hurt and just had a great time. I love sessions like these. Look […]

Muskegon Extended Family Beach Photos

Families & Children

These beautiful extended family photos were taken on the beach at PJ Hoffmaster park in Muskegon. Ken & Holly (the adorable couple with three boys) are coming up on their tenth anniversary….and we photographed their wedding so many years ago. It was SO nice seeing them again!! Even though their family photo day was a […]

Families & Children

Do you know what makes me happy? Beautiful families in beautiful places….like this gorgeous family of six! We met up for their family pics at PJ Hoffmaster State Park in Muskegon on a beautiful late summer day. I’m not sure how I got so lucky this year with so many perfect shooting days….but I’ll take […]
