{Emerson} 6 Month Photograher in Hudsonville, MichiganSeptember 22nd, 2014This cutie is already 6 months old! I cannot believe it!

This last photo was a nod to their maternity shoot. I love when we can re-envision or recreate these past images to show what has changed since then. I can’t wait until I take her first year photos.

You probably remember these two from a much colder shoot last December… a very romantic ‘soldier coming home‘ shoot in downtown Grand Rapids. Well, shortly after their session and his homecoming, they found out they were expecting their first child!
The awesome thing was that they chose me to come up with a maternity session for them and I had one I had been DYING to do: a picnic in the sun. Sooo, I pitched the idea, they went for it, we packed up our belongings and hit up Fallasburg Park in Lowell, Michigan for the photoshoot. We also incorporated their shared love of reading which went perfectly with the picnic setting. As you can see, it was a beautiful day.

{Jill & Chaz} Washington DC EngagementNovember 24th, 2010Just after the election this year, Donny and I flew out to Washington D.C. to visit our friends, Jill and Chaz. After such an great time with these two in Europe early this past summer, we couldn’t wait to explore another city with them. This was a little different though – I was honored to take their engagement pictures during the weekend. (They got engaged RIGHT before they met up with us in Zurich!) Check them out…  See Full Post |
