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.

Thank you so much for continuing to choose me to tell your stories... It means so much. Here's the preview for Lucy's b'day bash!!

Family Photography in Grand Rapids, MI

Lilia Bozaan!! The Bozaan Family Holland, MI

I am so excited I got to spend some time with cutie-pa-tootie, Ms. Lilia! She is already 9 months old and keeping Dave and Tara on their toes. She definitely kept me moving for this session- she's really fast!

It feels like yesterday that I photographed Dave and Tara's wedding. Wow, time flies. I am so happy for them! What a wonderful family. I love that they asked me to keep documenting their adventures! I am looking forward to some wine with these two in the near future.

Here's a little preview of our afternoon:

Ann Arbor- Potts Cousins

Theo, Gracie, Graham, Caitlyn, and Jack!

Crazy cousins!! These kids have had many sessions with me and they keep getting cuter as they grow up!! Each one has his/her own distinct personality, which I love seeing when I go through pictures of them. My favorite thing to do is to have each of them tell jokes. Those are always my favorite shots, so you are seeing a lot of those in this preview. If you have five kids that are all happy at the same time, you keep shooting and don't move or disrupt them in any way. The conga line just started on its own, so I went with it. Ha!! I always have fun with these guys.
