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!

Although I primarily specialize in stylized senior photography for girls, it is still great fun to work with the guys. Sometimes we will do this as part of a family session and carve out a little time for the senior guy. But on other occasions, we’ll do a full session, just for the guy. Josiah is a gifted, multi-instrument musician— a tenor sax man who doubles on most other reed instruments (plus keyboards and arranging). Amazing. Thanks for bringing your talents and style to downtown Grand Rapids for your senior photos— what fun!

Victoria had such a creative and wide-ranging session— including paints & canvases, horses, classic cars… we even caught a frog! Thanks for making this such a memorable session!

Amrit looked so lovely on what turned out to be the hottest day of the summer! I love it when girls add special touches to personalize their session, and Amrit’s traditional Punjabi suit did just that!

Danielle has such a contagious joyfulness about her— I had so much fun getting to know Danielle and her mom during our urban walk in downtown Grand Rapids. Thanks for inviting me to help commemorate your senior year!

Hannah is one sharp and poised senior — and so easy to photograph! We had a ball shooting all around Downtown Grand Rapids. Thank you for letting me be part of your senior year, and good luck next year at GVSU!

On many occasions, I’ve worked with girls and their horses on photoshoots. I’m always amazed at the hard work and dedication these ladies put in to mastering their sport, and at the special connection between horse and rider. Maureen is one of these incredible young ladies. Congratulations on your graduation from East Grand Rapids High School, and good luck at University of Louisville in the fall!

Malea is an amazing, record-setting track star— state finalist in the 800m relay! I like to imagine that I will be watching Malea in the Olympics one day, and that will be my little brush with fame! Congratulations on your graduation from Grand Haven High School and good luck tearing up the track in the fall!

Sammi was a real joy to photograph last summer— she has amazing style and is poised beyond her years. And those eyes! Congratulations on your graduation, and best of luck next year at Grand Valley State University!

Bella had great ideas for her senior session and we had a blast making it happen! You’re such a classic beauty— it was like photographing a star from the golden age! Blessings as you head to Hillsdale College in the fall!

Natalie came all the way to Grand Rapids for her senior portrait session, and I am so glad she did! Thank you for letting me share in your senior year experience and good luck next year at Lindenwood University!
