Families & Children

Who says you can’t shoot in the rain?! These family photos were taken in a park outside of Grand Rapids in the early weeks of fall on an evening that just happened to have a little rain. Ok….a lot of rain! As it often happens in Michigan, the forecast was looking great so we decided […]

Oh goodness, you are going to love this beautiful family and sweet Sutton who is six months old! I met them at their West Michigan home for an in-home family session to celebrate sweet Sutton joining the family. I just adore these images and these big, beautiful smiles….don’t you?! What an absolutely gorgeous family! I […]

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. […]

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 […]

This cutie is Aiden. Our team photographed his mom and dad’s wedding what seems to be so many years ago and I was blessed to photograph James and Kim while they were excitedly waiting for Aiden to arrive. Finally, I was able to meet them at their home near Lansing for newborn photos and once […]

Sweet little Nicholas is here and he has the cutest big sister too! I have been blessed to follow this family from their wedding in Grand Rapids MI all the way to capturing many family photography sessions (not to mention, momma Annette, was my childhood friend growing up). It’s seriously so precious watching beautiful families […]

Oh my…I can’t believe he’s here. The journey that this sweet family took to ensure Jett’s safe arrival will have to be saved for another day, but hear me, he is loved and oh-so welcomed by his family. Out of all the photographers in Grand Rapids, I was blessed to capture some of his first […]

This newborn session is so incredibly sweet. You may remember Adam and Mari from their wedding at The Felt Estate in Holland, Michigan but this time I was blessed to be their newborn photographer. Watching families grow is the best part of my job! The photo above may be my favorite newborn session ever. Those […]

This session is so incredibly sweet. I was lucky enough to be Steve and Annette’s wedding photographer in Grand Rapids several years ago and now I’m even more blessed being able to capture portrait sessions for them as their family continues to grow. Isn’t Annette stunning? She is a friend of mine from all the […]
