Lucy turns 1 !!

Grand Rapids, MI
Family Documentary

Happy Birthday, Lucy!! Man, this is one of my favorite families-- to photograph, yes, but just in general. So vivacious, funny, modern, fun, loving, and charismatic. I have been documenting this family for four years now!! How amazing is it that I get to be included in all their big adventures? I am so very flattered. This year is Lucy's first birthday!! She is walking, smiling, has reddish hair, and is just oh-so-squeezable! Stella and Charlotte, as gorgeous and lively as always, are still inseparable. They are really into wrestling now. Huh. Who would've thunk it? Pretty cool. Dave and Maggie are just as funny and beautiful as they always have been. Wonderful family. They even fed me.

Senior Portrait Session- Grand Rapids, MI- Sarah

Grand Rapids, MI

Yeah, Sarah!!! This lady was so, so cool. I mean, the most laid back cool you would ever want to know... She is going to do amazing things. I know it. 

We trucked around Millenium Park at golden sunset hour. I just couldn't get enough of her smiles.

Did you see her sister's senior session? What a cool family. You can check out Megan's session here:

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Place! This couple definitely meets everything in life with smiles, laughter, and warmth. You just want to be around them. Smiles so bright and constant laughter. I loved documenting their story and getting to know them.

Amy and David met through mutual friends during school. They had been together for seven years when David proposed. He set up a tour guide on Mackinaw Island and did the bike tour... All prepared and romantic, he started to propose and Amy was taking a picture and not really paying attention. Ha! Very sweet.
