Engagement

Grand Rapids Engagement Photographer // Marty & Liz! Marty and Liz are such a fun couple!  They were so comfortable with one another, pulling in tighter each time I asked them to sneak a kiss (which makes photos so much easier for me!).  I treasure every single couple that I have the honor of being […]

Grand Rapids Engagement Photographer // Chad & Lila! Chad and Lila are the sweetest couple.  Lila is a fellow photographer friend, so of course, her and I had way too much fun thinking of ideas, outfits and locations for their engagement session.  Fall is such a gorgeous time in Michigan so we took advantage of […]
