Miss Personality | Holland, Michigan Children’s Photographer
I just love Jenna! She’s got more personality than any 4 year old I know…probably more than most adults, too. She had me laughing the entire time…while I was shooting and during processing. I hope I did a good job of capturing “Jenna”! It would be a shame not to! We also got to shoot a few of Jenna and her beautiful mommy, too…who, I might add, looks WAY too good to be due in 5 weeks! Thanks girls, it was so much fun! ***leave Jenna a comment if you stop by! 15 new comments (one per person! lol) will earn Jenna’s mommy a free 8×10 or sheet of wallets!!***
Autumn | Holland, Michigan Senior Photography
Last night I had the pleasure of meeting Autumn. She was such a fun and easy going girl to photograph! She was up for anything and was sweet and beautiful, to boot! Props to her hair stylist, Julie, who was there on the scene, armed with her hairspray to combat those fly-aways! Julie served as an impromptu photographer’s assistant, as well. She’s got a great eye for detail! Thanks, Julie! And thanks, Autumn, for such a fun night! Here’s a preview, I hope you like them!!
Big Changes
I am happy to announce that I have upgraded to a new and improved ordering system that allows me to offer a wider variety of products, including mounting and frames, as well as other great items! It is also more user-friendly and efficient, which is a plus. Another change that ties in with this is the fact that I am unable to offer packages the way that they WERE listed on my site. However, I have come up with a new way that, I feel, is even better. (I will continue to offer packages such as the Belly to One, etc. I am only referring to the Standard Packages here). The new package system is essentially a “create your own” package system based upon the total amount of your order. This allows you to order the sizes and number of images that fits YOU and YOUR needs!
Here is what the new package pricing looks like:
*** “Create your own” packages- Now you can mix and match the images you would like in the SIZES you would like! No preset quantities or limit on number of images you choose! Customize them any way you want!
Order Amount Percentage Discount
$75-$149 10%
$150-$249 15%
$250-$399 20% (CD available for $150)
$400 and above 20% (includes hard cover book of images and CD is available for $100)
One other change is that there will now be a 3 week ordering deadline on all orders, unless otherwise specified, for workflow purposes and to keep things running smoothly and efficiently.
Another change I’m excited to announce, is that I am going to start offering a number of “portrait parties” every month. For more information about this, or to host a party, please email me! The hostess receives some great incentives!
Little Miss McKenna
Last week, I had the opportunity to photograph sweet McKenna for her 2 year portraits. We were able to do them at her Grandparents’ house, where there were so many neat locations. McKenna’s grandma collects antiques, so she had some fun chairs to use, too! These pictures just make me smile. McKenna is such a sweet little angel. In fact, in most of the pictures where she is smiling so big, she had just said “I love Jesus!”…talk about melt your heart! And those bright blue EYES are to DIE for! Thanks for choosing me for McKenna’s pictures, it was so much fun! ***Leave a comment if you view these pictures, McKenna only needs 15 new COMMENTS to receive a FREE 8×10 print or sheet of wallets!!!***
I had a hard time narrowing down which pictures to post from her session, so bear with me…this one is exceptionally picture heavy! 
Mr. Evan
Last week we went out for Mr. Evan’s 18 month portraits, we had the perfect picture weather! It was great! Evan is such a sweet…and busy…little guy! He was on the go the entire time…such a boy! Love it!! Doesn’t he have cool eyes? I can’t wait to see what his new baby brother/sister will look like when he/she is born this Fall! ***Leave a comment for Evan, 15 new comments earns him a free 8×10 or sheet of Wallets!***
Isaac
Isaac came for his 9 month session a couple of weeks ago! This little guy is on the go already! He was pretty close to crawling at his 6 month session and I said that I bet he’d be walking by his 9 month session, and I was right! 
Happy Birthday, Lincoln!
It seems I’ve had a lot of babies here for their one year portraits lately! This is a fun age! They are a challenge because they’ve got better things to do than get photographed, but you can also get the cutest candid expressions out of them! This is also a little bit of a sad time for me because most of these 1 year olds have been coming to me every three months for their entire first year, and it’s been fun to watch them grow and interact with them, but as they hit a year, the photo sessions start to slow down a bit. Although, most still do a 15 month and 18 month, as well…but after that, it’s *usually* not again until 2, although I wouldn’t mind if they came before then! Happy Birthday, sweet buddy!!! We had fun at your party!
I have to preface this first one by saying most photographers do some sort of variation of the shot on the right, however, I have never seen the version on the left! It makes me laugh every time I look at it. Thanks, Kyle!!
My Own
It’s not often that I share pictures of my own little ones. I probably don’t even take nearly enough of them…it’s usually an ordeal. We still have to attempt a new picture of the three of them, but here are some that I took in May. 
15 months, a belly, and a baby!
Things have been busy for this family, just in photo sessions alone! Sonia & Giana came at the end of May, for Giana’s 15 month portraits and Sonia’s maternity portraits. Less than a week later, Little Olivia made her appearance into the world (Whew, did those maternity shots JUST in time!). Here are some from their sessions!!
Another Birthday!!
Sweet little Trista turned one in June, too! She’s grown so much since her first photo shoot with me as a newborn fresh from Heaven! This past year has flown by, probably even moreso for her mommy!! Thanks for sharing Trista’s first year with me and choosing me to be the one to freeze some of those moments forever in time for you!! ***If you stop by, leave a COMMENT, Trista only needs 15 new comments to earn a FREE 8×10 print or sheet of wallets!!! ****
