Grand Rapids Studio Family Photography

This time of year the weather is never certain, so shooting a family session in a downtown Grand Rapids photography studio is always a good idea. We can take the fun inside and not have to worry about rescheduling ten times before we have a beautiful day. It’s a win-win! This beautiful family kept me […]
