Morning Family Photos in Grand Rapids

arrow

Families & Children

Family photos are such a treasure and something you’ll never regret taking the time to have. In twenty years your sweet kiddos will be grown up and you’ll want to remember those precious little chubby cheeks and tiny toes. That’s what it’s all about, friends. We met up early in the morning in Grand Rapids […]

Lake Michigan Family Photographer

Being a family photographer is so incredibly especially when I get to see this family yearly….this year at a gorgeous beach on the shores of Lake Michigan. We originally had planned to go to another beach but they were closed so we switched up our plans fast and found a new one…. I may even […]

This beautiful family is so special to us. Bree is a part of my daughter’s medical team, turned clients, turned friends….but I’m not sure in which order 😉 I love seeing them whenever we can…we even traveled to NYC last year and stayed with them, visiting the Statue of Liberty and eating the best pizza.

Classic Grand Rapids Newborn Photography

Families & Children

I simply adore this family. Meeting at their home in Grand Rapids for Penelope’s newborn session, giving me an opportunity to create classic images is always my favorite type of photography. Images that they’ll love forever! One of my favorite memories in my career has been shooting big brother, Chip’s, newborn photos a few years […]
