Families & Children

Isn’t this family crazy adorable?! I met up with them at Calvin College for their family photo session where they love to go on family walks. We looked for ducks to feed but settled for squirrels, laughed and laughed till our faces hurt and just had a great time. I love sessions like these. Look […]

These beautiful extended family photos were taken on the beach at PJ Hoffmaster park in Muskegon. Ken & Holly (the adorable couple with three boys) are coming up on their tenth anniversary….and we photographed their wedding so many years ago. It was SO nice seeing them again!! Even though their family photo day was a […]

Do you know what makes me happy? Beautiful families in beautiful places….like this gorgeous family of six! We met up for their family pics at PJ Hoffmaster State Park in Muskegon on a beautiful late summer day.

Absolutely perfect! […]

This beautiful family belongs to Brian, Benjamin and Christine. We met up for family photos on the most perfect fall morning at a local apple orchard in Grand Rapids. I adored Christine’s blush dress against the backdrop…the softness of her dress just flowed so nicely into the pretty scene that nature laid out before us. […]

I have been so excited to share these images…maybe it’s because I love the location or maybe it’s because I simply adore this family. Either way, I think you’ll love them too!! I met up with these four on a rooftop of a parking garage in Grand Rapids for their family photos. It may seem […]

I simply adore this family of five! I photographed Amari when he was only a couple months old years ago and now he is the best big brother to his two adorable little sisters. I met up with his family for photos at the Sixth Street Bridge on the most gorgeous late summer morning. The […]

I met up with Ellie and Madeline’s super adorable family a couple weeks ago and we played, laughed and had so much fun! We took their family photos at Long Lake in Sparta and it was absolutely gorgeous! Look at these sweeties! Don’t their little faces just radiate happiness?! Goodness, I love Madeline’s little smirk […]
