Logan is going to be a senior at Zeeland West and a thriving tennis player.  His one request for his session…that we end on the courts.  He even invited a friend to play against him for some action shots.  Back in the day I, too, played tennis so I loved everything about this shoot!

Meet Loren, an incredibly sweet, beautiful and fabulous soon-to-be senior at Allegan High School.  And my first senior rep for the season!

This girl completely rocked this session, not only looking seriously fierce, but bringing with her an entourage of her makeup artist Patti, her amazing grandmother and her neighbor and friend Dee.

With prom right around the corner, we also couldn’t resist rocking that gorgeous gown! Love!

Loren - Thank you for being so amazing! I couldn’t ask for a better rep!

4 years? Really?

I took Eli’s pictures when he was born.  Premature, tiny, adorable.  Almost 4 years later, back in front of my camera, he smiled, showed me where his teeth used to be, and is still completely adorable.

I am honored that I have had the opportunity to document each milestone of his life.  It is an enormous compliment and makes me treasure my job even more.

I know that his mom Lisa has been dying a little each day that went by since their session, patiently waiting for their blog post ;).  This has been one of my busiest seasons ever and if there were a cloning machine nearby I would clone 5 more of me.   I hope the wait was worth it! 

Last week I photographed Hayley…a beautiful person, inside and out, and a senior attending Forest Hills Central.

I know I’ve said this a million times before, but I absolutely love senior sessions.  I love interacting one-on-one and learning about the individuality of each of my seniors.

Hayley - I hope you enjoy your preview post! It was absolutely a joy to work with you last week!

Senior sessions are some of my favorite sessions to shoot.  Even more so when I get to work with one that I know personally!

Drew is the son of my friend Jeff and we’ve been plotting planning this session all summer.  I truly think this was one of my favorite sessions to date.  Drew totally rocked it out..despite claiming he hates having his picture taken.  We hit up a few of my favorite downtown spots and a few new ones I’ve been scouting out.
