Weddings

Quinn and Olivia are finally married! They planned a beautiful spring wedding back in May….but you know what happened (ahem…Covid)….plans changed.

These senior pics were so fun to take in downtown Grand Rapids. When Cole & Cori’s mom first contacted me, we started brainstorming ideas of where to have their photos taken and we ended on downtown….in the city. I just love shooting here!

West Michigan Wildflower Family Pics

Families & Children

This family is absolutely gorgeous! I went to school with Drew and Kelsey (mom and dad) so seeing them with their family is so, so special. Kelsey was hoping for some wildflower family pics and I found the most random and perfect spot here in West Michigan. I’d say it was a win!! The dudes. […]
