A few of my favorite things: an early morning, fresh coffee, beautiful light, and a farm full of hardworking people.

I recently spent a summer morning back at Crisp Country Acres in Holland photographing lettuce and radish harvests, along with all the little moments happening in between. I love this family-owned farm, the people behind it, and the care they put into the food they grow.

This kind of work will always be some of my favorite to photograph. ❤️

A 90th birthday filled with family, laughter... and a few dog kisses.

Happy Birthday, Phyllis! ❤️

It was such an honor to photograph four generations of your family as they gathered to celebrate you and your beautiful legacy.

Some mornings are about so much more than the harvest.

A recent sunrise at Three Lakes Gardens reminded me that the best photographs are rarely about perfect conditions. They're about the people behind the work - something Taste The Local Difference celebrates so well.

In Michigan's Thumb, the rural communities that grow sugarbeets and work the fields are protected by the volunteer firefighters who live right among them.

Yesterday I had the honor of documenting that intersection at Sherman Township Fire Department, thanks to Betaseed North America through their Operation HEAT program.

I shared the full story and image set on the blog — link in the comments.

Thank you to the organizations who invited me behind the scenes to tell their stories this year. Documenting your work, your people, and your impact is an honor. Your stories matter, and I’m grateful to help share them. Looking forward to continuing this meaningful storytelling in the year ahead. 🤍

At the end of each year, I close out my Lightroom catalogs and start new ones.

It’s part housekeeping, part reflection.

These are just a handful of frames from 2025 that reminded me why I do this — people living their lives, loving one another, and finding beauty and meaning in the everyday moments in between.

Grateful for every story I was trusted with this year. Onward. 🤍

Grandpas really are the MVPs of extended family sessions. Posing sweetly one second - getting nailed with a snowball the next. ❄️🤣
