Taylor | Class of 2011 | Zeeland West Senior Rep

Taylor was so fun to shoot. Her bubbly personality was really refreshing! And oh my...what beautiful eyes you have!! :) My husband says they look like mine. Can you believe, I don't think I've ever really looked at my eyes. I guess I will now. :)
Enjoy your preview! I can't wait until your beach session this summer!!
Nothing gets my attention on a session more than a sign that says "no trespassing"...Yes, I'm naughty...I trespassed. But in my defense, the building was so worth it and it was abandoned! Well...we did run across a muskrat. Mom had our backs though and made sure he wouldn't come out and get us while we shot. :) LOL! Thanks Mom!!!

Taylor struggled a bit in the beginning with her "serious face"...but after awhile, she became a PRO!







I love this shot!



These next two series are a couple of my favorites.

Chyna | Class of 2011 | West Ottawa Senior Rep

I've photographed Chyna numerous times in the past. This time, we got to shoot round 1 of her senior portraits! Everytime Chyna gets in front of the camera, she turns it on and brings something new to the table.
We traveled the country side (well, Holland's country side) and found some killer new locations. I love sessions like that, when I can just drive and come upon something new. It keeps things fresh and interesting. :)
I love the images from this session and seriously had to stop myself from editing the whole session for the blog preview. LOL!
Enjoy your preview Chyna!
Chyna should model!!

LOVE






The wind was blowing pretty good...I LOVE this shot!!!




Chyna is a cheerleader for the Panthers. She wanted some nice shots to send into a cheerleading magazine. Hopefully, these images get her IN!


...and last but not least...

Jeff & Nichole :: Grand Rapids Engagement Session

Jeff and Nichole won a runner up prize in my wedding giveaway this past February. They will be exchanging wedding vows in October of this year. :)
Jeff and Nichole met 3 years ago. They both worked downtown Saugatuck during the summer and she had noticed him a few times working as a bouncer at the Sandbar. She thought Jeff was cute, and mentioned it to a friend. The friend dragged her down there and Jeff and Nichole hit it off right away, they talked for 2 hours. They discovered that they share the same the birthday! He asked her out for the next week and the rest is history! Jeff proposed in May 2009 in Montego Bay, Jamaica. They were there for a vacation/wedding with friends. The first night there, after they had just posed for a picture, Jeff got down on one knee and proposed.
Nichole says that she knew from the beginning that Jeff was "the one" for her. She describes him as her "missing piece".
Enjoy your preview! I can't wait to photograph your wedding in October!




Love this one!


Jeff loves the White Sox and Nichole loves the Tigers...so of course they had to wear their jerseys for a little fun in the park =)


We had some fun strolling about town and found some new locations!

Isn't Nichole stunning?!?!

I love these little moments. Stealing a smoochie!

Christina | Holland Christian :: Class of 2011

Christina is my Holland Christian Rep. We had to outrun the weather to get her first session completed. We ended up canceling her first session due to rain. So we "weathered the storm" yesterday and dealt with windy, chilly conditions. Christina was a trooper. We dodged mud puddles and high winds. Overall, I am very happy with the results. Enjoy your preview Christina! :)






I love this sequence

The wind wasn't all bad. It blew her hair perfectly!






A perfect smile! :)
