Families & Children

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 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.

Newborn photos in home are becoming my favorite and this year I’m blessed to be able to take them all over Michigan. So many families are welcoming beautiful babies into their homes and being there to capture some of their first moments is so sweet. This cute little guy is Otto. I photographed his mom […]

Brooklyn Bridge Children Session

Families & Children

This past summer we took a family trip to New York City (well…workcation for me but it was amazing nonetheless). While there, I just had to photograph my beauties on the Brooklyn Bridge for a fun children session. The background was stunning with great views of the city all lit up but I didn’t quite […]
