Sparta Summer Mini Session

West Michigan Wildflower Family Pics

Families & Children

This family is absolutely gorgeous! I went to school with Drew and Kelsey (mom and dad) so seeing them with their family is so, so special. Kelsey was hoping for some wildflower family pics and I found the most random and perfect spot here in West Michigan. I’d say it was a win!! The dudes. […]
