Tony & Samantha: In Love (West Michigan Couple's Photographer)

November 1, 2015

Sometimes, you just want to do a fun session. Sam and Tony aren't getting married or having a baby or anything exciting. They just love each other and wanted to get some photos taken to honor that. That's where I come in. I met them at their home in Muskegon, and they showed me to a great park that still had a few falls colors hanging on. We even made it all the way to Lake Michigan (which was really roaring on the breezy autumn afternoon!) and took a few shots. Golden hour lighting was gorgeous. And I had a blast working with Sam again and getting to meet Tony. I hope to see you both again soon!

^A few quick shots at their new home. Always fun!

^I bet these leaves are gone now!

^LOVING the light!

^Beach grass (!!!)

^Favorite!

^Also favorite ;)

^Shooting at golden hour is a great way to go sometimes.

^We found a couple little hidden spots that were just gems! Perfection!

^We'll miss you, fall leaves!

^So much fun shooting with these two. Thanks to you both!

S. (Grand Rapids Boudoir Photographer)

This girl. Gorgeous. She did her boudoir session back in the summer and it has got to be one of my absolute favorites lately! She's got an amazing sassy look, a beautiful smile, and was having so much fun that it really showed in her photographs. I had the pleasure of working with her again for a couple shoot as well and sincerely hope to get to see her more in the future. Her happy attitude is totally contagious! Enjoy this session as a preview to our upcoming boudoir week from our marathon sessions... soon!

^S worked on slimming down recently. She looks amazing!!!

^LOVE this outfit. And the heels...!

^Love her laughing look! Well, and the serious face too. Look at that range!

^Beautiful!

Jennifer: Afterglow (West Michigan Wedding Photographer)

October 16, 2015

Jennifer and Jared got married back in April. It was a cool day but everything went well. When she contacted me about doing an afterglow session, in her dress with her dog AND her horse, I was super excited! I've been wanting to do a session with horses for a very long time, so this was a perfect opportunity. Just like their engagement session last October, it was a very chilly day. The wind made it worse. Fenn, Jennifer's gorgeous horse, was a little skittish because of the wind. But we made it work. And I also fell in love with Jared and Jennifer's collie, Toby. What a sweet boy!

As you can see, it was very cloudy, but it made for the perfect setting at the park Jennifer chose. Though we didn't get as many as we would have liked on Fenn, the ones we did get turned out amazing. So glad we did this shoot!

^A perfect family photo!

^Look at this beautiful boy!!!

^Puppy love.

^Fenn was getting frisky in this shot. Such a pretty guy.

^While we were waiting for Fenn to be saddled, Jared got a few shots with Toby.

^A little bit of breeze goes a long way ;)

^Favorite!!!

^Toby in action.

^Looking good, Jen!

^She's got quite a look!
