Portraits

I met up with this stunning family for their extended family photos at the Ada covered bridge. It is basically what I think of when I think of fall or a scene in a picture-perfect Hallmark movie with cider, donuts, pumpkins and anything autumn related. This landmark is certainly a Grand Rapids favorite! Mom and […]

Hoffmaster State Park was quite a favorite place this year for family photos and portraits! The background is simply stunning and is sadly one of the few public beaches in West Michigan that has a good amount of beach left. I just love it there! I met up with this beautiful family on an early […]

This sweet family is Haven and her momma! We met at Calvin College this fall for their family photos and had so much fun. We threw handfuls of leaves, laughed until our cheeks hurt, walked over waterfalls…..I’d say it was way more than just a boring ‘ol photoshoot 😉 I can just hear Haven’s silly […]

This beautiful family belongs to one of my favorite wedding couples from 2013 (I can’t believe I even typed that….how was it over seven years ago?!?). We met at the beach in Muskegon (PJ Hoffmaster Park to be exact) for the family photos and it was absolutely beautiful. It was early October and sunny so […]

Isn’t this family crazy adorable?! I met up with them at Calvin College for their family photo session where they love to go on family walks. We looked for ducks to feed but settled for squirrels, laughed and laughed till our faces hurt and just had a great time. I love sessions like these. Look […]

These beautiful extended family photos were taken on the beach at PJ Hoffmaster park in Muskegon. Ken & Holly (the adorable couple with three boys) are coming up on their tenth anniversary….and we photographed their wedding so many years ago. It was SO nice seeing them again!! Even though their family photo day was a […]

Do you know what makes me happy? Beautiful families in beautiful places….like this gorgeous family of six! We met up for their family pics at PJ Hoffmaster State Park in Muskegon on a beautiful late summer day. I’m not sure how I got so lucky this year with so many perfect shooting days….but I’ll take […]

Do you remember this adorable family? I photographed Steve & Annette’s wedding a few years ago and now they have sweet little Evelyn (see her newborn photos here). Now that Evelyn is one we decided to meet up at Lake Michigan for an updated family photo session and I think it’s one of my most […]

West Michigan is absolutely beautiful in the fall so family photos at an apple orchard are a no-brainer! It is the perfect setting where families can run and play, where I can capture them enjoying the beautiful sunshine together and even capture images with my favorite – texture, color and lots of foreground/background. Absolutely perfect! […]
