Ok, last night’s Lowell senior session was a photographer’s dream! Great clients. Absolutely perfect summer evening. Beautiful golden hour. I’m just thrilled to share all of my favorites of Miss Mael, a senior from Rockford High School. For our backdrop we chose the footbridge over the Grand River, a location I haven’t used before for […]

I cannot believe we are already taking photos of the class of 2022! As I typed that, I turned to my husband and said “weren’t you the class of ‘02…?!” Ope… Although I mostly shoot weddings these days, I still absolutely love every time I get to take senior portraits. This Rockford and Grand Haven […]

Katelyn is my latest Hastings High School grad-to-be, and we had a blast at her colorful downtown senior session! From bold earrings to vibrant murals, we had fun pops of color throughout the entire shoot. I just loved Katelyn’s style! Since her very first e-mail, I’ve been looking forward to working with her. She radiates […]

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting Katie and her parents for her downtown Grand Rapids senior session! Katie will be a senior at Hastings High School this fall. She hasn’t completely decided what she would like to do post-graduation yet, but I think she should seriously consider photography! She definitely has an […]

Oh, Michigan. I have a love-hate relationship with your weather. When it comes to the cold and snow, I’m not a very big fan. The shoveling. The crappy driving conditions. The sting of cold air on your face. Let’s face it, there’s not a lot to love about this time of the year if you’re […]

Have I mentioned before how much I love senior sessions? I especially love this senior session! Noah, here, happens to be a cousin of mine, and I think everyone is pretty much in agreement that we can’t believe he’s already a senior. It wasn’t that long ago I was photographing his older sister’s grad photos! […]

This weekend I had a break between weddings, and had the pleasure of shooting an amazing downtown Grand Rapids senior session! Erin was such a blast to shoot, and reaffirmed why I love high school senior sessions so much. It’s such an exciting time, and you can feel that excitement throughout the entire shoot. Erin […]

One of the first questions brides ask me after booking is what Grand Rapids engagement session locations I recommend. Michigan is truly a beautiful place so your options are seemingly endless! The first thing you should determine is the “vibe” you want for your session. Are you outdoorsy, nature-type people? If so, I’d recommend a […]

One decision engaged couples must make while wedding planning is whether or not they would like an engagement session. Some may be wondering “what exactly is an engagement session?” Good question!
