The Schmid Family (Grand Rapids Family Photographer)

May 19, 2018

Spring is one of the prettiest time for photos, but it's just so hard to time things sometimes! I had a lot of rescheduling for this and we missed the prettiest blossoms. But this family is so adorable anyway, I think that more than made up for it! Looking forward to seeing you all again soon!

Sneak Peek: Nick & Vana (Grand Rapids Wedding Photographer)

May 26, 2018

Rarely do I do weddings completely solo, but I gave it a try this weekend. On the hottest weekend of the year. But hey, what can I say? It was a blast! And simply beautiful. Vana is one of my former roommates and not only was it wonderful to see her and share some of her special day with her, but it was also a wonderfully emotional and exciting day. Can't wait to share more soon.

Getting Married: Nick & Vana (Grand Rapids Wedding Photographer)

May 20, 2018

It's very last second but just in time, these two are getting married THIS WEEKEND! It was a late booking but when my former college roommate moves back into town and tells me she's getting married... how could I resist! I wanted to meet Nick for the first time so Savanah brought him by this past Sunday to say hello and take a couple quick photos. They are such an adorable couple and I can't wait to party with them this weekend. You'll have some sneak peeks VERY soon!

^The redbud in my backyard is looking particularly spiffy this year!

^Love!

^Serious love. ;)

Kasen: Turning "One" (Grand Rapids Children's Photographer)

May 18, 2018

As usual, it's so weird to think how fast these kids grow up. I feel like it was just the other day I did Kasen's newborn and 7-month sessions. This little fellow is working on all the things one-year-olds do, such as standing (walking isn't far behind!) and eating all sorts of new things, and he'll be running with the big kids (mine and his big sister, Olivia) in no time!

I'm also impressed with his cake smashing skills. He's never had a cupcake before but when we put that thing in front of him, he certainly knew what to do! Stuffing his face with sweets, I knew I liked this kid. Happy (almost) birthday, little Kasen. I'm so glad I get to watch you grow up!

^Silly kid.

^He's showing off my potted plants :D

^Cutie pie.

^Wastes no time getting down to business!

^So proud of himself!

^What a sweetie!
