{MASON~3 years}

Mason is the sweetest a little boy! He is a little shy, but he warms up after a bit! He is the son of Britney and Jake, so he was along for engagement session so we shot his 3 year old pics too!!! I love his innocent looks; however, he has a bit of mischief in that smile!

*seriously, adorable*

*doesn't it make you just want to hug him!*

*and he is warming up a bit*

Brit and Jake your son is AWESOME! Thanks for sharing:)

{Brielle~ADORABLE}

Brielle, is a little beauty! I had the pleasure of capturing
her mom & dad's wedding almost 3 years ago! So you can imagine how excited I was when they called and said they needed Brielle's one year pictures done! I love to see couples flourishing
with beautiful families years after their special day!!! And I love to see past clients!

Brielle is a typical one year old: full of energy (she had me running), her own agenda, and eyes that in one shot can show pure innoncence and the next a spark of mischief!
Amanda & Nick, thank you for sharing Brielle with me, she such a sweetie!


*my fav*



love her smile




*too cute*


~what a blessing your beautiful little girl is~

{Megan & Sean ~ Will You & Cute Kiddos}

Megan & Sean opted for their engagement session /family pictures to be done in Grand Haven! It was perfect, the weather was HOT :) and beautiful! We started out on the beach with the kiddos and then headed into downtown GH for a little different feel!

I actually went to school with Megan & Sean, when I think back the memory that always surfaces is how Sean rode my bus and always picked on me! Yup what goes around comes around buddy, LOL, now I get to put you through HOURS of torture, I mean pictures! :) I think Sean can attest for all you guys out there that engagement pictures aren't that bad! It gives us an opportunity to get to know each other a little better before the big day, and it is ALWAYS fun when you get to hang out with me! :)

Ok, enough already, right? Here is their beautiful family!



i love their kiddos, actually about the same age as my girls!


Taylor is such a doll, what a happy girl!


to get Caleb to look at me we would tell him their was an airplane on my camera,
based on the look he is giving me...he didn't buy it!

*now to the happy couple, totally rockin' it*

is she not absolutely *BEAUTIFUL* she will be a stunning bride!



to end on this, might be my favorite of the kids!!
meg & sean, I am so excited for your wedding, it will be a
beautiful day for two wonderful people!!

{Eap Family}


The family is one of nature's masterpieces.
-- George Santayana

Have you ever thought about how we tend in life to take family pictures when we are younger but as each of the siblings grows up and becomes an adult our 'family' pictures don't happen, well maybe just at formal family functions....

Well I loved this session, I think that we should all embrace our families and have pictures done even when we are all adults, the pictures can be so much more fun, but just as special!

Rachel contacted me because her whole family was going to be in town, as they have grown and graduated from college and started careers they have moved around the country, but this weekend her sisters were back in town to attend a family wedding, PERFECT!
They were all in town so we had a family session.

Rachel thank you so sharing your family with me for the afternoon! I totally love that you got everyone together for these pictures, so glad I could capture this memory for you!


~this is Rachel's little sweetie, KILO, totally love him!~

*Rachel's mom & dad have been married for 35 yrs, LOVE IT*






I love this because I told them each to sit how they are comfortable,
its cool to see how they are alike but different :)

~Enjoy~

{Haley & Courtney ~ Will You}

This was an amazing session not only because it was great weather and a beautiful couple, but also this was a session for my best friend, my little sister, Haley and her soon to be husband, Courtney. I am so looking forward to their wedding in October.

Its hard to believe that Hal is getting married, I can remember when we were little and we would play dress up, Haley would dress as the bride (I got stuck being the groom). Although she was pretty (hahaha, I will have to upload a picture for all of you), I know that that she will be a completely gorgeous bride, beautiful beyond words!

Unfortunately I won't be shooting the wedding because I will be playing my role as Matron of Honor :) I will probably have to sneak my camera out for a couple of shots throughout the night!
I love these two so much and I am so excited for them to be married. I wish them all the love and patience for an incredible marriage...and long life together!

~I love you two!~

*my favorite shot*
can you feel the love?

and some attitude...

happy, happy



they totally rocked out the fierce look

gotta love a good scrap metal yard, and awesome lighting




Hal, congrats on your upcoming wedding, I am so excited to be a part of your special day!
You are my best friend and I am so grateful for you in my life.
As the saying goes 'you can not choose your family but you can choose your friends'
I am so lucky that I can call you both my sister and my friend!
~loves~
