Maternity/Family - Elyse and Zac

Apple Orchard
Grand Rapids, MI

Congratulations Elyse and Zac on your new addition!! I couldn’t be happier for these two, or more excited that they continue to choose me to document their story and adventures! Still awesome people. Still an awesome couple. Just love and laughter. And two dogs now, Sunshine and Kona.

We shot at the same orchard that Zac grew up skating on the pond and bouncing through the trees. It’s the same orchard that we photographed at for their engagement session. It was so great to go back, now that Elyse is expecting.

In case you missed it, here is their engagement session, at the same orchard, five years ago:

I loved this session. Thank you again for trusting me. I love being around you two (well, four. Well, five!). Enjoy the preview:

Matthes Tree Farm Wedding - Shelby and Trevor

Ida, Michigan
Matthes Tree Farm

Congratulations Shelby and Trevor!!! What a beautiful wedding at Matthes Tree Farm.

These two met online in 2018, when Shelby was living in Delaware and Trevor was living in Ohio. Shelby was visiting family for Thanksgiving at the time. They did the long-distance thing for about two months before Shelby made the decision to move back to Ohio. They have been inseparable ever since. In 2021, they made the move back to Michigan, where Trevor is originally from. Both of them love hunting and the outdoors. The two have the same birthday, just two years apart. Trevor proposed on their birthdays, April 24, 2022, while they were turkey hunting in northern Michigan with friends.

Thank you so much for choosing me to document your story! I wish you a life filled with laughter and turkeys.

Senior Photos - Reeds Lake- Harrison

grand rapids, mi

Congratulations to Harrison! Senior year brings such hope and excitement. It is very true for this handsome fella with a world of interests and possibilities. We incorporated just two of those passions, guitar and lacrosse, in these photos.
It was a freezing day in west Michigan, but he hung in there like a trooper with his signature flip flops.

Harrison, good luck in all your endeavors and stick with your passions.
Here is a little preview…
