Hello

Senior Session at Wildwood Family Farms | Addison

arrow

Portraits

Addison is absolutely beautiful. Her long, gorgeous hair lit up in the evening sun and brought her images to life. I loved shooting her senior session at Wildwood Family Farms. Their property is stunning and is filled with wildflowers and stunning landscaping everywhere you look. I loved shooting there (even though it was over 100*!). […]

Southern California Senior Photos

Portraits

This beauty is my niece, Kenzie. I was traveling to Southern California for work and Kenzie needed her senior photos taken so we thought, what a great opportunity for something fun and unique! Our locations ranged from Laguna Beach, the hills of the Ojai Valley, downtown Los Angeles and El Matador State Beach in Malibu. […]

Seniors

Ella is a senior! I remember photographing her at her mom’s wedding several years ago and I can’t believe she’s this beautiful woman who is graduating high school. We met up for her senior photos at a couple locations in Michigan around Grand Rapids and Rockford. It was so fun! We started Ella’s session on […]

Seniors

Hailey is gorgeous…obviously. I mean, look at her beautiful smile! We met at Hoffmaster State Park for her senior session on a cloudy summer night and we had so much fun. My favorite thing about Hailey was how willing she was to try anything for photos. We decided that if we didn’t love a photo….we […]

Muskegon Senior Photographer

This senior session is so fun! I was lucky enough to be Kennedy’s photographer for her senior photos and we ventured all the way to the Muskegon lakeshore to capture just how gorgeous she truly is! Starting with a few shots at a more urban location and ending at the stunning shores of Lake Michigan, […]

I LOVE taking senior photos…especially when they are at gorgeous locations like Lake Michigan! Sydney is graduating next year which will be here before we know it! I absolutely adored her outfits that she chose for her senior photo session. All the simple and neutral colors will be timeless and kept the focus on what’s […]

Coldwater Photo Session

Families & Children

This session belongs to one of my most favorite families. We went back and forth and then back and forth again about rescheduling this photo session due to the forecast and because of the long drive to Coldwater but we decided to just push through and go for it. I’m so glad we did! Not […]

Grand Rapids Senior Photography

Seniors

Jake is graduating this year which is only a few weeks away! How can it be that time already?! Photography around downtown Grand Rapids is always great, especially for a senior. We went to a rooftop, down alleys, found interesting walls and finally took a few shots in his backyard. The headshot below is my […]

Muskegon River Senior Photos

arrow

Portraits

Braden’s senior session in downtown Newaygo was so fun. We met up along the Muskegon River for his senior photos because he loves the outdoors and he loves to fly fish. Combining activities that seniors are interested in with their photos makes me happy….and being creative with those activities helps create unique photos! Braden – […]

Downtown Grand Rapids Senior Pics

Portraits

These senior pics were so fun to take in downtown Grand Rapids. When Cole & Cori’s mom first contacted me, we started brainstorming ideas of where to have their photos taken and we ended on downtown….in the city. I just love shooting here! You can walk a city block and easily have enough good light, […]
