Family photos

Thank you to the Cagney Family for another family session! Documenting this family through the years, with all of their new adventures and growing babies, has been so fun and special. It’s a treat to get photos with Nan and Scratch when they visit from Perth, Australia, for the holidays. Looking at these photos, I hope they will remember Brooks’ obsession with Bluey, which makes her dance and laugh and forget about the stranger crouching in the corner snapping photos. I hope they remember Nan and Scratch playing Uno with Smith and having a tea party with Brooks.

The Revel Center - Sam and Seth

The Revel Center
Grand Rapids, MI

Congratulations Samantha and Seth! What a beautiful winter wedding! It had some perfect moments- from Seth and Sam sharing private vows to each other before the ceremony, to family making the day even more special with their humorous toasts, and then, of course, bagpipes!

The lucky ducks have been together for about three years. They first met when the bride heckled the groom at a lacrosse game in college. Fast forward four years, when they met again on Hinge. The official first date was a movie night at Sam’s house, but it ended up being a chat that lasted for five hours instead. Seth proposed on Sam’s family vacation for the 4th of July, where everyone was in on the surprise.

High School Senior Portraits- Hunter

Wabasis Campground
Greenville, MI

Congrats to Hunter on his senior year! This cool guy has a bright future ahead of him. I still can’t believe how time flies. I worked with his mom, Sarah, while I was just starting my business on the side and I remember stories of this guy, but now he’s all grown up. I’m so glad we got some shots of mom and son as well! It’s such a great idea and great timing to do it.

Thank you, Sarah and Hunter, for sharing your special place with me. Whenever life got rough, these two would go to Wabasis to feel right again. I know these photos will mean so much more because we chose this spot.

Please enjoy the preview…
