Families & Children

I can’t even believe I’m writing this post. Somehow along the way, this beautiful girl Addison, turned ten years old. My oldest daughter is TEN! To celebrate, we decided to rent a studio in Grand Rapids to take some photos showing how she is going from a children session to more of the tween kind. […]

Miss Addy. I just adore this sweet little lady who is full of life and personality. She is just turning five years old so we met up for a children session at a Grand Rapids studio to update pics for her family. Isn’t she the cutest?! Her smile is just infectious! Giggles for days…….. She […]

I just simply adore this family and this studio location. Simple, gorgeous light and all about the subject….a beautiful family of four! These studio family photos were taken at one of my favorite downtown Grand Rapids studios last weekend on a cold, snowy day…..while we kept warm inside. Perfect! Miss Chelsea is a sweet friend […]

Winter mini sessions at Hydrangea Blu Barn in Rockford Michigan were seriously a blast. We had to push them back a week due to a diagnosis of Covid (ugh….that darn “C” word!) then push them back again one day due to rain. In the end, I think we ended up the best day possible. It […]

Rhys and Keira’s family is pretty awesome. I mean….they were full of smiles and totally cooperative for photos so what more could I ask for?! We took their fall family photos in Grand Rapids at one of my favorite places…The Highlands! It’s an old golf course that is being taken over by nature and it’s […]

Natalie and Savannah were all smiles which made my job way too easy….and […]

Meet Porter’s gorgeous family! We met up on the most perfect fall day at a park in Grand Rapids for a fun couple session and I am in love with the results! Matt and Alicia were so kind and up for anything – which is pretty much amazing especially when we had that beautiful sun […]

What a beautiful day we had for this awesome family and their family photos in Ada Michigan. The sun was shining, the kids were adorable and all of that makes me one happy photographer! Mr Reid looking all grown up! This photo of Graham just makes my heart melt. Look at those eyes and that […]

I love shooting at locations that are simple, without much distraction. You’d think that amazing locations are best (and sometimes they are pretty great) but more often than not, shooting at a location that allows the image to focus on the love between a family is just what I’m looking for! Roselle Park in Ada […]
