Grand Rapids Family Photographer // Reagan’s Family! This family is simply adorable.  Reagan and Sienna are two of the cutest little ladies around and chasing them for photos was such a fun way to end my weekend.  I could tell from the moment they arrived that this family was such a happy one.  Dad surely […]

Portraits

Grandville Family Photographer // Pippa’s Family! What a fun session this was.  It’s not very often that family sessions I photograph consist of all adults, but it certainly was a nice change of pace.  Instead of chasing toddlers hoping and praying for a smile here and there, I was instead making my best bird noises […]
