The Cunliffe family is celebrating their first Christmas as a family of four! Mack joined the crew at the end of the summer and it may be a little different for Walker, but I think all of them are going to have a wonderful holiday season. Merry Christmas to all of you as well, and have a wonderful weekend!!!

Happy family!

Little heartbreaker in the making!

Such a CUTIE!

We keep trying, anyway!

Christmas Mini Sessions - Easton

December 4, 2021

This little guy was a lot of fun! He did most of the photos by himself but he made the most of the time in the studio and had fun with a little bit of snow and the various props. It was fun to see you again, Easton, and your mom and grandpa too!

Easton is young but he's so big!

Awwww, Mom :D

Presents, anyone?

SNOW!

David & Laura: A Haunting October Wedding (West Michigan Wedding Photographer

October 30, 2021

What a PERFECT wedding to end my season on this year! My friends know that I love Halloween, and even though I can't do as much as I used to (my friends and I did parties every year for a long time, I used to put together a haunted forest every year as a kid!), this was absolutely amazing for me! 

I met Laura and David (and their cute pups, Denali and Dakota) last winter for their engagement session and as they gave me more and more info throughout the year about their weddings plans, I was more and more excited! To top it off, despite the clouds and being at the end of October, it was actually a pretty nice day! Not too cold, and just gloomy enough to pull off that Halloween feeling. Old Stonegate Farms was also a wonderful location. It isn't itself a spooky location, but it can definitely give off that vibe given the right circumstances!

Laura's dress wasn't your traditional bridal gown. And David's suit was also much more than your standard tux. The bouquet was fabulous, the decorations fit the event perfectly, and all around, it was pretty much just awesome. 

The end of the year always is welcome when it comes, but even though a break is needed (October burnout is REAL in the wedding industry, people!), I'm always sad to wrap up the year for weddings. This definitely sent me out on a wonderful note. Thank you, Laura and David, for such an awesome day and so many great photos to finish my 2021 with!
