EVE at the BOB Grand Rapids--- Andy and Jen

EVE at the BOB
Grand Rapids, MI  

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Schubert!! These two are such a beautiful couple-- inside and out. They met at work years ago and have been together ever since.

Jen opened the door for me in the midst of getting ready, with the girls all a flutter, and she was just so gorgeous and warm. When I went to check on the fellas, Andy was asking me how she was doing and I felt the love he had for her. We did the door shot and I knew they just wanted to see each other so badly! It was really cute. It was nice to catch his reaction when she was walking down the aisle, though. I think everyone choked up a little at that point.

We had a sunny day on August 3rd, and took a little walk around Grand Rapids before heading back to the reception. Then the celebrating really started! The smores bar was a big hit. This wedding had the best dancing guests, I believe! It was so much fun. They only left the dance floor for "Pudgy Bunny". The Schuberts always held this competition when they went camping. You shove your face with marshmallows, saying "Pudgy Bunny" each time you do. It was funny to see 7 foot tall Andy with huge cheeks, saying "Pudgy Bunny" in his deep voice.  It was new to me, but I will be doing this when I go camping from now on!

I sincerely wish that Jen and Andy lived in Michigan. I want to keep photographing them!! Great people and a great day. I wish you two the best!

Maggie and Stella Zick

Grand Rapids, MI I love photographing this family!! I still look at the images from Maggie and Dave's wedding, and I still want to do it all over again. I have been photographing the Zick family for a couple of years now and I am always excited for more! I can't believe how much Stella has grown since their last family session.

This time, Maggie and Stella wanted to have some mommy-daughter time. We started with some casual shots at home, then the rain let up enough to have a little tea party (with my brand new teapot!), and we finished our "girls' night" with a PJ party. It was a great alternative to the rain and was such a great time. Again, I love this family.

Welcome Baby Cole!!

Livonia, MI-- Newborn session

Congratulations to Jeff, Kristi, and MJ on the new addition to the family!! Following in big brother's footsteps, this little guy was awake most of the time and wanted to join the party! He was very calm and very sweet.

What a beautiful family. So happy for my cousin, Jeffy.  The happy parents also celebrated their 3rd anniversary this week, so it was nice timing for some photo love.

Speaking of timing, I finally got to hold Cole at the end of our session, and that is when he softly went to sleep! Of course. So, I did what any photographer would do-- I stole him back and went back to shooting. I could have kept taking photos of Baby Cole all afternoon... Stay tuned. We are doing a family session in the fall. Whoo-hoo!
