40% off- A Day in the Life Sessions!

Grand Rapids, MI
A DAY IN THE LIFE PHOTO SESSIONS!

What is the difference between a family portrait session and "A Day in the Life" session?

NO POSING. 

I know, that scares most people. A documentary style of their home, kids, the chaos?? It sounds scary. But, really?! Not at all. Don't you WANT to remember this point and time? Don't you WANT to remember what it was like? Don't you want to remember your kid's favorite stuffed animal, that he couldn't go to sleep without it? How he made you read him the same book every night? How he crawled in your lap when you did? The rituals you had at bedtime-  brushing the teeth, singing in the bath, etc. The way he crinkled his nose every time he got in the water? Each little personality brings so many things with it. Don't you want to remember the tiny things that are so big?

Documentary photography is the new family session. It shows you so much more than a smiling face at the camera. It shows REAL life! Real personalities and idiosyncrasies. Real love. This is also an investment for your kiddos. They will want this in the years to come, believe me.

I'm offering 40% off A Day in the Life sessions for newsletter members!

The session has to be at your home, in Grand Rapids. Travel fees would apply outside the GR area.
The session must be between January and March, 2018.
 

Give the gift of beautiful memories!! Gift certificates available!!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Meditation for the Overwhelmed

This is for my brides going crazy right now with overwhelm! I can just feel the stress and exhaustion coming through all of your emails. There's a lot going on. Your To-Do list is ridiculous. I get it. I always tell you all to just breathe, so this made me think of you.

It also works for moms, because moms are always ridiculously busy.

It works for me right now too! I have a ton of projects happening, and my wedding season starting! Whoop whoop!

This is funny. Warning, there is ADULT LANGUAGE. Use your headphones if need be. If you are offended by adult language, you may want to skip this one.

BREATHE IN STRENGTH, BREATHE OUT BULLSHIT...

Posh Petals, Grand Rapids

I had the pleasure of hanging out and chatting about weddings with Elyse and Kayla, from Posh Petals, the other day. What a fun place that is to work! They even have bunnies! 

As an entrepreneur, I am always looking to promote other women entrepreneurs and utilize their skill and talent in my business as well as personal life. "Grow the Good"! Elizabeth Schenk, the owner, started this floral business in her basement and has taken this company to a well-known household name in this area, with a team of fun employees. That is amazing. Their adorable shop is located at 806 Bridge St NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504.

So, today I am giving a shout out to Posh Petals, in Grand Rapids, for your floral needs, but also your PLANNING needs. Yep, Elyse is one of the event planners and she is wonderful. They also just hired on another planner as well. You can choose from a variety of options, including a "day of" option, where they will help coordinate and be there with you on the big day. 

Also, Posh Petals does amazing things for corporate events as well. Did you know that they will keep track of your employees' work anniversaries and send flowers annually for you? Yeah. Amazing, right?! 

When asked the deeper meaning behind their work, Elyse and Kayla were smiling to respond, "It's the joy that it brings people. You see their mood lift instantly. They even get emotional. We make a direct impact in a small way." 

Yes, they do. Here are some samples of weddings that I have worked with Posh Petals. If you would like to see the full weddings, please check out these links:
