Portraits

I absolutely love photographing newborn babies especially when their session takes place in their home near Grand Rapids. Being at home gives everyone a chance to just be at ease, allows big sisters to play in their own space with her own toys and is less work all around for mom and dad (well….as far […]

Meet Miss Caddie! This sweetie is now three months old. Her family and I have been trying to get together for newborn photos at their home near Grand Haven for months now….but Covid had other plans. Even though we couldn’t get together those first few days after this beauty was born, we were still able […]

Often, I am asked what the difference is between a mini photo session and a full photo session so today I thought I’d explain! Mini session vs full photo session! All photographers have different processes, different theories and different ways they build their business. I mean, that’s half the reason in being an entrepreneur….to do […]

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. […]

This beautiful couple is Doug and Julia. You may remember them from a few years ago at one of my most favorite weddings at The Felt Estate in Holland….well now these two are going to be parents!

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 […]
