Christmas Photos in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Outside Coffee Company
Grand Rapids, MI

What a fun Christmas session with the adorable Kwaiser family!! We went downtown to the Outside Coffee Company, with igloos and warm treats, and then headed home to make cookies. The documentary cookie-making will be such a treasure for Ruby when she grows up. Who wouldn’t want those photos with your parents? The funnies, the mess.. Christmas memories at its best. How cute are these guys?

Ruby wins for the best photo of anticipation for Christmas. She was clapping and singing with us on the street with the lights all around her. Such pure childhood joy and innocence.
Let your heart be light!
Merry Christmas!!

Riverside Park Doggy Session

Grand Rapids, MI

Here's to my wonderful friend, Carleen, and her kiddo, Mojo. We are praying for Mojo's health and wanted to document their close relationship another year. In case you missed their last session, you can catch it here:

Mojo loves Riverside Park, as we all do in GR, so we went for some chill time at sunset. 

I love that the book Carlee is reading is "How to Speak Dog", as Mojo is quite the diva. It's just funny to me. She has her own personality for sure and will let you know how she feels. She is playful and sweet, but do not tick her off. Silent treatment with a nose in the air. I will always and forever think of Mojo when there are fireworks, from all the scaredy-cat stories. It's ok, Mojo. I just want to hug her all week of the 4th of July. 

I know that they've been there for each other through a lot over the years. Best friends such as these should be on camera. 

Thank you for letting me capture the love you have for each other! Enjoy the preview:

O'CONNOR FAMILY

Heritage Park--Taylor, MI  

Who loves documenting families throughout the years and following them in their new adventures? This gal. I was happy to photograph Anne, Steve, and their new pup, Gunther. They had recently saved this adorable drooling fella and hrre did great! 

There is a lot of travel going on with this couple. With Steve leaving for a few weeks in Germany, I'm glad we got some time to relax at Heritage Park, in Taylor. 

In case you missed their last session, a pretty fall day in Ann Arbor with their old pal, Dexter (you are missed!), you may view it here:
