Last weekend, I had the delightful opportunity to photograph and absolutely adorable trio of little girls as part of a fashion session for the new spring clothing line from Dreamspun. Thank you so much to Korrie (Dreamspun’s extraordinary queen bee) for her spectacular clothes, accessories and on-the-fly styling help. And thanks to my new favorite little models for being so sweet on a cold Saturday morning in Grand Rapids. You all managed to convince me that we were having summer fun in the sun!

Grand Rapids has awesome locations for urban adventure photo shoots – with lots of color and textures to use as backgrounds. Fortunately there are many of these cool portrait locations within a few minutes walk.

One of the things I enjoyed about this session is that Natalie had her Mom Jennifer in a few of the photos with her. So not only did we get unique, edgy 8th grade graduation portraits – we also got some fun family portraits.  Natalie and Jennifer have great style, and we brought in some cool accessories – so we were able to put together ensembles that were unique to each person but still looked good when they were next to each other in the photos. Here are some favorites from the session…


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!
