Grand Rapids Photographer // Jon & Tammy – 5th Anniversary!

Portraits

Michigan Photographer // Upstate New York Road Trip! My husband and I just got home from a crazy fun road trip that only he and I took together.  Sometimes it is good for just mom and dad to get away and reconnect…leaving the kiddos home with grandma and grandpa.  We called this our “adventure trip” […]

Grand Rapids Senior Photographer // Mikey – Class of 2019! What gorgeous weather we have been having lately here in West Michigan.  The night that I met up with Mikey and his mom we were just as lucky with the weather too.  The sun was setting perfectly over the Muskegon River which makes for great […]

West Michigan Children’s Photographer // Addy & Gabby!

Portraits

Grandville Family Photographer // Pippa’s Family! What a fun session this was.  It’s not very often that family sessions I photograph consist of all adults, but it certainly was a nice change of pace.  Instead of chasing toddlers hoping and praying for a smile here and there, I was instead making my best bird noises […]

Weddings

Holland Wedding Photographer // Doug & Julia’s Felt Mansion Wedding Album! Doug & Julia’s wedding was one to remember.  Their album was so fun to design….revisiting each special moment from that day.  It was SO difficult narrowing down the images…..their album could have been 100 pages!  I love designs that are soft and classic, standing […]

Michigan Family Photographer // Mila’s Family! I met up with this gorgeous family last week and we had so much fun!  I love when photo sessions turn into mini adventures….splashing in the river to cool down.  Days like these are what make my job so awesome! Mila and her two older sisters, Emily and Ava, […]
