Movie Date Engagement Session- Amy and David

Grand Rapids, MI

Ooooh, I can't wait for this wedding in August!! Amy and David are so super warm, friendly, funny, and laid back! They let me tag along with them to the movies! What a cool session. This is an idea of their date night... and how much they laugh. Amazing.

The two met through mutual friends and have been together for seven years. Always the fun and active couple, their first date was building a snowman and snowboarding, which both of them still love to do. David proposed on a trip to Mackinaw Island, among friends. He set up the travel guide, biking, and tour. Amy remembers being awed by the beauty around her and taking a picture while David was talking. He completely took her by surprise. Well done.

Here are some samples of their date night. Enjoy!

NATALIA LEAH THRONAUM- Newborn Session

Ferndale, MI Oh my goodness, I am so happy for my two friends and past brides on their new little bundle!! Introducing Natalia Leah Thronaum!! She is beautiful and fun, just like her mommies.

I was so excited to see Leah and Maggie again. (If you missed their wedding post, you can view it here: http://lookatthebiggerpicture.com/leah-and-maggie/). I absolutely love going to past clients' homes and seeing my photos all over their walls. It is such a wonderful feeling, with warm and fuzzy memories. You can view some of their wedding photos on the wall behind them in one of these photos. So cool. It is really nice to see where they have come in a little over a year.

Miss Natalia was social for a bit, giving me some personality, and then she would doze in the comfort of her mommies on a lazy Sunday. It was truly peaceful and amazing. I am very honored to have had the chance to capture these beauties once again!! Thank you. Enjoy the preview:

Grand Rapids Winter Engagement - Dennis and Wezi

Engagement Session
Grand Rapids, MI

Congratulations to Dennis and Wezi! What a gorgeous pair. These two are so much fun!! We had the best time trotting around downtown. Gotta love Grand Rapids in the winter. I am soooooo excited to shoot their wedding on June 27th! That happens to be my parents anniversary, and they've been married for 43 years, so it's a good day to get hitched!

Dennis and Wezi met at Grand Valley, where they were business majors and also worked together. They have been together for five years, most of it being a long distance relationship. Dennis has lived in South Dakota and Indianapolis, but they always made time to see each other and prove that the long-distance thing can work! Dennis proposed on a rooftop at sunset. Awwww. He moved back to Grand Rapids recently, so they are together again at last. I am so happy for these two! So warm, friendly, and fun! I'd freeze anytime for you guys.

Here are some favorites from the engagement session:
