Mitchell: Class of 2018 (West Michigan Senior Portrait Photographer)

July 26, 2017



First of all, Mitchell was a great subject! He's a good looking young man who actually likes his photo taken. Let me tell you, that's not something you run across very often! Especially with seniors. Second, he had a couple awesome spots picked out for his session. This old train car (decommissioned tracks, all, no worries) made for a great spot to start and then the following stops had some lovely shade and deep colors. Hooray!

It was nice to catch up with Mitchell's mom, who I haven't seen in years, as well as see Mitch, who was much younger the last time I saw him. Thanks to you both for a very fun session!

Oh, and I apologize for all the serious looks, I didn't get a chance to edit all the braces out of the smile photos... but honestly he's just got such a great serious look. So there!


^Awesome spot, no?


^Yup, he's got a nice smile too!


^Yasha came along for a few shots too. She wasn't impressed though.



^LOVE this one!





^Fierce... for a guy that is!



^This area is public now but it used to be owned by Mitch's family.



^Hello, Yasha!

^Last stop. Familiar?




^When someone suggests they get in the river, I rarely say no!

Elaina Jae: Six Months Old (Grand Rapids Children's Photographer)

July 21, 2017

This little beauty is my daughter, Elaina (affectionately known as Laina Lu), who just turned six months old in July. It's crazy how fast this first year goes, but it's so fun to watch her grow, learn, and experience life. She's a sweet baby, though she likes to be held all the time. We've been blessed with her pretty little face in our lives, and I wanted to share her six month session so without further ado...

Oh but wait! I can't forget my beautiful big girl, Julie! She's harder to get photos of now as she's fast and not terribly fond of photos. But I got a few great ones of her while we were doing Laina's session, so check out those at the end of the post! :)



^What a happy girl!



^Hilarious :D



^Such a good little subject!



^Sister photos are a bit of a challenge still.




^Sweet Laina Lu!


^A little better...?

^It's summer, we've got to get a few outside!




^Time for my big girl with the big cheesy toddler smile :)



^Such a pretty girl!


^My goofball.


^I love my girls!
