The Lewis Family Adds a New Member (Grand Rapids Family & Maternity Photographer)

April 22, 2017



It's so cool that both of my friends that were pregnant at the same time as I was with Julie are (or were!) pregnant again when I just had Laina! Kristin was the first of us to give birth to her daughter, Olivia, and this time she'll be the last of us with her new little boy on the way, but either way, I am so excited for her and their family! I did a fun family/maternity session for the Lewis's a few weeks back and I'm finally ready to post them.

I loved the color combination that Kristin picked out for their outfits. So springy and coordinated. Little Livvy was a great little model and Declan had fun, especially when he got to climb the ladder outside at the end! I can't wait to meet your new little guy, either at the end of this month or in June. Congratulations!

^Family of FIVE!


^So happy!

^My favorite of you, friend!



^Finally not the littlest anymore ;)

^She'll still be the baby girl though!



^The "boys" haha!

Marty & Kayla: Engaged! (Grand Rapids Wedding Photographer)

April 15, 2017



First of all, I felt bad about having to reschedule Marty and Kayla's engagement photos. We had a date all picked out but something came up. We had a hard enough time scheduling it the first time so trying to do it again... tricky! I was a little worried the weather wouldn't be too great in mid April, but man, what a beautiful day it was! I met them first at Provin Trails, which is a great location (I love the lines of pine trees) but I just wasn't feeling it.

Our next stop was at my studio. We couldn't go INTO the studio as it's always booked up on a Saturday afternoon. But the outside... yup, the absolute perfect spot to finish this session. It was great getting to know Marty, Kayla and Kaleb, who was a riot. Their wedding is going to be great; I'm definitely looking forward to it after finally getting to meet them!

Time to share another new session!

^Already an adorable little family!




^The cross says Haiti. :)


^Love these two shots.


^Perfect!




^Kaleb is silly. He was fun to have around for the session!



^Making use of the building's interesting color.



^Ahhh moody!

^Kaleb really wanted to ride the freight elevator.






^We're getting adventurous soon.






^It wasn't that easy getting to the spots from the shots above but oh so worth it.


^Peek!




^You guys are awesome. Can't wait for the wedding!
