I met up with Gracen on 8th Street in Holland, MI for her senior session and from there we walked the beautiful campus of Hope College (and met up with her sister who attends there). Such fun! Good luck at Butler University in the fall! You’ll go far, I’m sure!

This kid. What can I say? He brings life to our house and tears of laughter to our eyes every single day. A great student, a great friend, captain of the improv comedy team and our resident pastry chef — we are going to miss Michael next year when he goes off to Grand Valley State University. Hopefully things don’t get too quiet around the house!

Don’t forget to text your mom!

It is so much fun to work with siblings — especially high school seniors who are twins! Sara and Ryan are adorable. Good luck at Calvin College in the fall, you two!

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Rachael since she was little, and she’s always been a delight! I can’t believe she’s all grown up and off to Bethel University in the fall!

“Effervescent” is a word that comes to mind when I think of Olivia — wow, what an up-beat and positive young woman! It had been a joy to get to know Olivia and her fantastic family over the last few years, and I am sure she is going to excel in her college years at Baylor University. So excited for you!

Thanks to the fact that JP comes from the nicest family on the planet (and you know I am not making that up), I’ve known JP forever. As hard as it is when the “baby” of the family leaves the house, I know it is a little easier knowing what a fine young man is entering the world. Congratulations on your graduation from Grand Rapids Christian High School, JP!

Vinnie is a fantastic and kind-hearted young man. I remember him as a little guy, but now look! Congratulations on your graduation from Grand Rapids Christian High School! Way to make your mamma proud!

I hope you’ll pardon a personal post, but I couldn’t be any prouder of this guy. Jonathan (yeah, my kid) is the epitome of character, hard work and talent. This year, Jonathan accomplished his primary goal of finishing his High School forensics career as a State Champion in sales, all while maintaining perfect grades and being great to his family and friends. Yeah, I gush a little, but he’s mine for a little longer, so I get to play the mom card if I want to.

Good luck in the fall at Hope College, and don’t forget to text your mom!

I’ve seen Claire grow up ever since she was in preschool, and it was a delight to help her commemorate her senior year with this photo session. Claire is a gifted dancer, an outstanding student and an all-around good-hearted human being. I know your family is going to miss you dearly when you are off to study Nursing at Hope College in the fall— you’re a blessing to everyone who knows you! Good luck, Claire!

I’ve known Tyler’s family for years, so it was such a pleasure to meet up in downtown Ada, Michigan for his senior portrait session. Congratulations on your graduation from Grand Rapids Christian High School — you’re on your way! Thanks for letting me help commemorate your senior year!

Mackenzie’s senior session landed on the LAST day of summer break. What a great way for me to wrap up summer shooting in 2015! You’re beautiful, girl! Thanks for letting me be a part of your senior year memories, and congratulations on your graduation from Grand Rapids Christian High School!

Emma’s senior session is special to me. Not only have I known her since she was the cutest little girl in preschool, but years ago, Emma was the first young lady that I photographed professionally! If it were not for Emma, I might not be a photographer today! Emma is amazing in so many ways— achieving the top academic awards and competing for the state girls’ tennis championship team! Congratulations on your graduation from Grand Rapids Christian High School, and blessings to you as you head off to the University of Michigan in the fall!
