The Miller Family- Canton, MI

Canton, MI This was one hot July in Michigan! Rick, Alicia, and little Sydney were so great and very natural.  This session was a special treat for me because I got to see my old friend and softball teammate, Alicia, again! We shared many 12 hour car rides on the way to tournaments.

I was super excited to meet Sydney for the first time. Her 2nd birthday is coming up in August, so it was a great time to take these photos!! She is one fast cookie, by the way. What a cutie pa-tootie. I just tried to keep up with her mostly. Rick is pretty fast too, by the way! I guess you'd have to be! It was really cute to see him chasing after her and carrying her little pink shoes.

What a beautiful family.

The Lohrer Family

Orleans, MI

This was a fun little afternoon following the Lohrer family around. I am so glad they moved to my side of the state! Rachelle and I went to school together and played volleyball back in the day when we were young and agile. Nowadays, we are more into wine.

Lex and Kaitlynn were great little models!! They are always so happy and I love getting to hang out with them.

Thank you to Nate and Rachelle, for all the dinners, wine, sushi nights, euchre nights, and moving overstuffed furniture up three flights of stairs for me.

Hope you enjoy this preview!

Grand Rapids Public Museum Wedding- Jeremy and Caitlin

Grand Rapids Public Museum
Grand Rapids, MI

Congratulations to Jeremy and Caitlin!! What a beautiful wedding!  We couldn't ask for a better venue, with the wonderful background of Grand Rapids.

This was the first time I photographed the first look with the bride's father. What a loving moment with such a loving family. Speaking of family, I was astounded that the grandparents were ready and waiting for photos an hour before we needed them! How cute is that?! (A big thank you to Jackie, family friend and "wedding manager", for organizing everyone and everything that day! How I wish you were a wedding planner!)

This day came with a ton of surprises. My favorite one was when the Brockette family surprised their parents with a "first dance", since they never had one at their wedding.  It was really beautiful.

This wedding was filled with lots of tears, smiles, and laughter. Caitlin and Jeremy are such a warm and friendly couple. I wish you the best life together!!

Enjoy the sample photos of their big day...
