And last but certainly not least Meet the Millers! This was a perfect one to end my year on! I have been photographing this family the longest! A decade now! They were actually my first family session ever when their now oldest was just a year! It has been so much fun watching their family grow from 3 to 6! I look foward to this session every year and as usual these kiddos (and parents) were so much fun!

Meet the Mosley's! This sweet family is my second to last of the season and I love nearing the end on sessions like these. I met this family at a local park and we took a stroll around. The brother & sister duo is the sweetest and you can tell this family truly enjoys spending time together! Enjoy!

Well hello November! That was fast! Well first up for this new month is my final senior! I saved the best for last ... as this guy has been our neighbor boy for the last 10 years! It's been extra fun watching him grow up to the fine young man he is today and it was an honor to capture him! Prithvi is a senior at Spring Lake and in the fall he was found out under the Friday night lights on the varsity FB field and this spring he'll be found out on the track! And in between he's doing all the things! Prithvi we wish you the best of luck in all your future plans!

You may recognize this guy from earlier this summer when I captured his family's pics. Well it was his solo senior turn! Meet Hudson "Huddy" a senior at Spring Lake. Hudson wanted just a quick downtown session for his pics so thats exactly what we made happen. Hudson will be spending his senior year in the pool and on the track for the lakers and is interested in law enforcement when he graduates! Best of luck in your final senior months!

Well even tho fall is here, that doesn't mean beach season is over! In fact September and October are my favorite 2 months to shoot out at it ... the temps are still warm and you pretty much have it all to yourself! This beautiful family took full advantage of it! Loved playing with and capturing these sweet girls on a warm October beach night!

October is here and the 2025 graduating seniors continue to fill my calendar. Meet Dylan a senior at Grand Haven. Dylan is into all things nature & history and he was so much fun getting to know. Dylan has probably hiked more miles around the dunes here than any other senior! So for his session we took a walk downtown and then ended at his favorite spot ... the dunes/beach!

Fall on the Farm. Love being able to travel up north and capture this beautiful family on their property each year. They have acres of woods, fields and orchards and in fall it is just gorgeous. These kiddos are always so much fun and there is never a dull moment when I am capturing them.

September Seniors continue! Meet Max. Max can be found on the soccer field this fall and in the winter he will be diving into the pools on the varsity swim team. He says his favorite event is the freestyle, but butterfly is not behind! Max would love to attend MI State in the fall and study business! Best of luck to you in your final year!

School has started this week and some have entered their final year! Seniors are up and my schedule is full of them this September! Meet Addison a senior at Grand Haven. Addison can often be found on the LAX field and if she is not there you can find her riding at her horse barn. Addison you were so much fun to work with and capture. Best of luck in your final year!

Still Summer & Still Shooting! I have captured this sweet family of 4 before, but we determined it has been more than 5 years so it was due! I always love a night of capturing and catching up with previous clients. Can not believe how big the kids are and Owen towering over mom now! We spent the evening at a local park and had so much fun. I love when teens & tweens can still laugh at their parents jokes and play along!
