Maternity/Family - Elyse and Zac

Apple Orchard
Grand Rapids, MI

Congratulations Elyse and Zac on your new addition!! I couldn’t be happier for these two, or more excited that they continue to choose me to document their story and adventures! Still awesome people. Still an awesome couple. Just love and laughter. And two dogs now, Sunshine and Kona.

We shot at the same orchard that Zac grew up skating on the pond and bouncing through the trees. It’s the same orchard that we photographed at for their engagement session. It was so great to go back, now that Elyse is expecting.

In case you missed it, here is their engagement session, at the same orchard, five years ago:

I loved this session. Thank you again for trusting me. I love being around you two (well, four. Well, five!). Enjoy the preview:

The Atrium at Uccello's - Joe and Anna

St. Stanislaus Church, Dorr, MI
The Atrium at Uccello’s, Grand Rapids, MI

Congratulations Joe and Anna! What a beautiful day we had in October for their celebration. It was a beautiful ceremony at St. Stanislaus, followed by a fun and elegant reception at The Atrium at Uccello’s.

Joe and Anna met at work and have been together for about five years. Their first date was at Fat Boy Burger. They share a love for their faith and keep that prominent in their lives. They also love skiing, attending plays or movies, and traveling.

The proposal took place at Anna’s house on January 1, 2021. She was opening a gift, a beautiful red coat, and in the pocket of that coat was a card. Inside that card was a poem Joe had written 20 years ago to his future wife. At the end of the card was a picture of a ring. Joe got down on one knee and, as a tear fell, he asked Anna if she would marry him.

Thank you both for choosing me to document your story! You have a beautiful family and I am honored. Please enjoy the preview of your big day…
