I was thrilled to make a connection with the owner of Dreamspun, which is located in downtown Ada. Turns out Korrie and I grew up practically on the same street in northern Michigan! I introduced her to my photography and she introduced me to her darling shop (and props for photo sessions). Here’s a collection of commercial images that Dreamspun is using to promote their Ada store but even more importantly, their Etsy and online store. What a fun session with sweet little girls! And I was able to display my images in her store… check it out!
After a wonderful session with his sister, Emma, we decided to do a complimentary session with Matthew to hang similar photos side by side in the family gathering room. What a photogenic family!
Here’s a simple, yet dramatic, idea for a fireplace mantel. This uses a single large 30″ x 40″ gallery wrap to bring big impact to this intimate family space.
An alternate approach is to go with twin panoramic wraps. Here, we show matching 18″ x 36″ panoramic canvas wraps, hung in a vertical stack. See how this brings more focus to the individual faces?
I love this cozy girl’s room, decked out with a horizontal triptych of canvas wraps. The side canvases are 16″ x 20″, while the center canvas is wider at 24″ x 20″
…and the best for last! Here’s a big-impact display for a lonely wall. Each side canvas is 11″ x 14″, while the center shot of all the kids is 35″ x 40″.
On a beautiful October afternoon I went to the Heynen family home to photograph lots of kids… 6 of them! We had a blast playing in the leaves, running from goats, climbing fences and being kids. Thanks Heynens for making my job so easy!
On a crisp October morning, I had a chance to snap some fun photos of one of the fantastic teachers at Ada Christian School, Kristin Contant, and her beautiful family. What a photogenic bunch!
We’ve had a beautiful stretch of summer-like weather in Grand Rapids! These beautiful photos of Grace show just how some fun prints, colors and hair props make such an impact in photography. Grace you were a trooper!
Faith and her best buddy Kristin couldn’t stop laughing during their time together! Love these little 2nd graders!
A beautiful photo session with Emma in downtown Grand Rapids, just before the opening of ArtPrize 2011.
My sweet little buddy, Steven, my sister Mary’s little guy!
My dear friend, Kelly and her sweet daughter, Makenna, and I, spent a fun morning at Meijer Garden this fall. Thanks Kelly for a great time!
