I met Mary & Nick in Kalamazoo a few weeks ago for their engagement session. We explored some great spots in downtown and then ended at one of their favorite places Water Street Coffee. I looooove their engagement story! Nick’s family has farmed for generations so he took Mary to see the biggest tree on the farm where his parents and grandparents have carved their initials in the trunk. He and Mary carved their initials in that day. Afterwards Mary turned to look at Nick and he was down on one knee! Mary & Nick you are so down to earth and fun, we can’t wait for your wedding this November. Here are a few of my favorite images.
Dave and I had the pleasure of attending Max’s first birthday party and doing a photo session of this great little guy.
Here are a few of my favorite images and a slideshow of them all.
I love Etsy. There I said it. I’m on the site at least once a day if not more. There’s just something about things handmade. I’ve been a crafter all of my life, when I was little my mom called me “The Shredder” because I was always cutting up paper or fabric to make something. The living room floor always had bits of my projects – sorry mom!
When I was little my mom and aunt started a birthday tradition. On our birthdays we had a birthday date with our aunt, out to eat and then to a bookstore to get a brand new book! Dave and I want to start this with our nieces, and this Saturday we had our first birthday date with Lucy.
She was dressed up like a princess, so uncle Dave wore a jacket & tie for the occasion. First we headed to Cafe 237 in Paw Paw where Lucy had the best chocolate chip pancakes ever, and hot chocolate. Uncle Dave had crab cakes benedict, and I had a spinach & wild mushroom fritatta. YUMBO! Then we finished up at Fat Cat Books where we visited Grimsley the store cat, and loaded up on some great children’s books. We had a great time!
A few weeks ago I had a wonderful afternoon taking photographs of little miss Hope. You may remember her from a year ago and boy, what a difference a year makes! She is as sweet as can be and full of joy. Here are a few of my favorite images and a slide show of them all.
A few weeks ago I had a blast with the King family at Kellogg Forest. We had a beautiful day with lots of sunshine, laughter, and m&m’s. Here are a few of my favorite images and a slideshow of them all. Enjoy!
Phoebe is a beautiful girl with a beautiful personality! She is a senior at Kalamazoo Central this year and plans to go to Grand Valley to study History. I was honored to do a senior session for her at fun spots around her family home. It reminded me of my own senior pictures taken at my parents house – they were so special because there are so many memories associated with the family home. Here are a few of my favorite images and a slideshow of them all. Congratulations Phoebe!
