DeMari's mom, LaTanya, and I have been trying for months to get our schedules to match up. And finally, we succeeded! This past Sunday, I met them to do DeMari's senior portraits in downtown Grand Rapids. DeMari was a great subject. He was a great sport for the photos, great at posing, and had a perfect assortment of smiles and serious faces for me. A natural! 
We wandered around by the Ford Museum and the river, then headed into the city for a few shots around. I wanted so badly to find this cool blue tile wall I've seen in shots, but I still have no idea where it is! Oh well, we found a nice bright blue painted one that worked well instead. Thanks to both LaTanya and DeMari for finally making this shoot work. DeMari, you were awesome! I can't wait to give you your finished package!
