Nate & Sara: Engaged! (Grand Rapids Wedding Photographer)

March 4, 2023




Nothing like a well-timed "blizzard" when you are hoping for some snowy photos for your engagement session. Everything had melted (again...) and just before our Saturday session (with these two husky owners/snowboarders!), there was another snowfall in the forecast. It certainly didn't live up to our hopes, but it was something. It's better than nothing!

Despite less snow than we had hoped for, Nate, Sara, their fabulous canine kids, and I made the most of it! We met at Provin Trails, a frequent haunt of this little family, as well as where Nate proposed to Sara. The trees always make for some great backdrops. The dogs did a great job (and special thanks to the couple's friends for helping reign them in a bit!) and then we moved on to just Nate and Sara.

We finished the session at Hop Cat, for a bit of "cheers to getting married"! It was certainly a pleasure to finally meet these two. They are getting married in just a few short months and I can't wait to join them.

Hey, are the pups going to be there too...?! 


Good pups!



Dash!




Snowy cuddles.

Favorite!










This is where he proposed!!



Time to warm up!







Cheers, you two!

Kim - Maternity (Grand Rapids Maternity Photographer)

February 20, 2023




Meet Kim, a beautiful Mama-to-be, expecting her first little one very soon! I met her about a year ago on one of the most amazing trips of my life. It's great to get to share such a wonderful experience with exceptional women, and I'm so glad I got to know her, even if just a little bit. Since the trip, she and her husband found out they were pregnant and I couldn't be more excited for her! 

We stayed in touch just a bit over Facebook and she saw that I had time for a mini session at the beautiful Venue3Two a couple weeks back and she jumped on it to get a couple glamorous maternity shots before baby comes. Perfect!

Kim is an amazing yoga instructor and we even through couple of poses in at the end of her session. I can't wait to find out if Baby S is a boy or a girl when he or she arrives in just over a month. Congrats to your family, Kim, I'm so very happy for you!



Feeling fabulous!



All mamas deserve to sparkle!





Perfection!



Just a touch of that golden light!
