Kalamazoo Family Photography

arrow

Portraits

This family photography session that I took in Kalamazoo was for my very own girls, so I may be a little biased by how cute they are! This summer I photographed this gorgeous couple at Shades of Lavendar Farm in Kalamazoo, but first I wanted to scope it out for myself before meeting the couple […]

Grand Rapids Children Photographer | Evelyn – Three Months Old!

Portraits

Being a children photographer in Grand Rapids definitely has it perks. I get to see these sweet little kids when they are tiny babies and then follow them with my camera through different stages of their lives, capturing each precious milestone for their momma and daddy to cherish. I can’t imagine any job more special. […]

Portraits

This Grand Rapids winter maternity photo session is one of my favorites! Teresa and I were chatting for a while about ideas and how she wanted pine trees with snow. Well….early December in Michigan is a touchy time. You would think we would be covered in snow, but you just never know… About a week […]

Portraits

This fall has been the season of family sessions at Provin Trails. It is such a gorgeous location for photos if the colors on the trees have faded and the pretty snow hasn’t graced us with it’s presence yet. The tall pine trees have such a simple beauty to them with their texture and lines. […]

Downtown Grand Rapids Christmas Session

Grand Rapids Studio Family Photography

This time of year the weather is never certain, so shooting a family session in a downtown Grand Rapids photography studio is always a good idea. We can take the fun inside and not have to worry about rescheduling ten times before we have a beautiful day. It’s a win-win! This beautiful family kept me […]
