Allison planned an incredible variety of looks for her Cinematic Session in downtown Grand Rapids! And to ensure that her senior pictures were like no one else’s, she even went back for a second makeup look for a set of fantasy mermaid images! Loved working with you, Allison!

Noelle has a classic beauty that reminds me of Golden Age Hollywood! I loved photographing her all around Grand Rapids and Ada, Michigan. Working with girls like Noelle make my job as a senior photographer so enjoyable!

Sisely was a delight to photograph for her senior session in Downtown Grand Rapids! I LOVE it when my seniors bring unique and creative ideas for their senior portraits, and Sisely was determined to get shots that nobody else was doing. This led us all over Grand Rapids, culminating on the rooftop of Downtown Market. Awesome.

One of the things my seniors learn right away when we start our urban sessions is that I will do anything to get the shot! Fortunately, Amanda had no problem stopping traffic or doing a little light trespassing during her senior portrait session in Downtown Grand Rapids. We had so much fun! Thank you, Amanda!

One of my favorite sessions of the year was Aliyah from Jenison HS. What amazing style! And although moms usually tag along for my sessions, Aliyah’s dad came along for her photo shoot, and we had so much fun! The best part is that the fun shows through in the finished images. Thank you, Aliyah!

I’m pretty sure Jamin is a triple-threat: Professionally-trained dancer, gifted musician, and all-around beautiful human being. Thank you so much for choosing to create your senior portraits with me! What fun!

Here’s a pro tip: When you have a high-end camera with a big honkin’ lens, and when you’re photographing a girl who looks like Morgan, you can pretty much do wherever you want. So when some random dude pulls up in a classic car, do you think we’re going to sit on it? You bet we are! Thanks, Morgan for being such a great sport and for making the drive to Grand Rapids for your senior pictures!

Lauren, a trained dancer, was kind enough to bring her ballet pointe shoes and strike some awesome poses as we explored Grand Rapids for her senior portrait session. The results are gorgeous. Thank you, Lauren!

Sydney is one of those kids who seems to do EVERYTHING well — top honors student; skier; color guard and more. Thank you so much for letting me help commemorate your senior year! You’re going to do wonderfully at Michigan State University in the fall!

Although my photography studio is located in Grand Rapids, MI, I also meet clients around the country for destination sessions (NYC, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami and more!). Kelsey traveled to New York City with her mom and sister for a “girls’ weekend,” and I was lucky enough to share the day with her shooting all around the city. Kelsey started her day with hair and makeup at The Plaza Hotel, which positioned us perfectly for a walk through Central Park to capture unique and iconic images. After a break for dinner, we reconvened in Times Square for a night-time shoot under the big city lights. Thank you for meeting me in NYC for your senior pictures, Kelsey! What a great memory!

My next NYC Destination Sessions are October 19 & 20, 2017! So excited to be going back soon— get details here…

Hannah traveled over to Grand Rapids for her Cinematic Session, and we had so much fun together! A 3-sport star, Hannah is Gull Lake High School’s Athlete of the Year and is proof-positive that great things come in small packages!

This was an extra fun session for me— not only is Megan a dream to photograph, her mom, Michelle, is an awesome photographer in her own right. So between the three of us, there were plenty of creative ideas to go around.
