Do you remember this adorable family? I photographed Steve & Annette’s wedding a few years ago and now they have sweet little Evelyn (see her newborn photos here). Now that Evelyn is one we decided to meet up at Lake Michigan for an updated family photo session and I think it’s one of my most […]

West Michigan is absolutely beautiful in the fall so family photos at an apple orchard are a no-brainer! It is the perfect setting where families can run and play, where I can capture them enjoying the beautiful sunshine together and even capture images with my favorite – texture, color and lots of foreground/background. Absolutely perfect! […]

This beautiful family belongs to Brian, Benjamin and Christine. We met up for family photos on the most perfect fall morning at a local apple orchard in Grand Rapids. I adored Christine’s blush dress against the backdrop…the softness of her dress just flowed so nicely into the pretty scene that nature laid out before us. […]

I have been so excited to share these images…maybe it’s because I love the location or maybe it’s because I simply adore this family. Either way, I think you’ll love them too!! I met up with these four on a rooftop of a parking garage in Grand Rapids for their family photos. It may seem […]

I met up with Ellie and Madeline’s super adorable family a couple weeks ago and we played, laughed and had so much fun! We took their family photos at Long Lake in Sparta and it was absolutely gorgeous! Look at these sweeties! Don’t their little faces just radiate happiness?! Goodness, I love Madeline’s little smirk […]

These boho sunset wedding photos are full of inspiration taken near Grand Rapids Michigan on the most beautiful early fall evening. With trees surrounding a private lake on the brink of exploding into a fall rainbow, it was the perfect setting for a wedding ceremony. Private, pristine, beautiful. At every turn, there was so much […]

This beauty here is one of our past #hetlerbrides from earlier this year….one week before Covid shutdown everything to be exact! (Whew! You two just snuck that gorgeous wedding in!) Lizzy is also my niece (in-law…is that a thing…?). We took these photos at my home in West Michigan with a cute and simple clothesline […]
