Family Photography: Russ, Brittney, Whitney, Olivia

This gorgeous family was a joy to photograph! I had a really hard time choosing only a few favorites from this shoot! They won a free session at a benefit for a mutual friend, and I sure am glad that they did! These sweet girls are some of the cutest you'll ever see! We took these at Grand Haven, and the weather was just perfect. Cloudy with some perfect light! Enjoy!

Newborn Photography: Maeli Ann

This beautiful little girl is my "niece", Maeli Ann. Isn't she just the sweetest thing? She was born on July 31 to my dear friends, Lauren and Josh. Before she was born, her daddy bought her mommy a necklace with a July birthstone in it, and they were thinking they might have to buy a new one with an August birthstone! But she made it just in time!! Love you Maeli!!! Welcome little one.

Baby Bump Photography: Mandy and Drew

Ok you guys, if this baby doesn't come out with a huge smile on its face, there is something seriously wrong!!! I'm totally kidding...but I don't think I've ever met a couple with better smiles than Drew and Mandy! They are super cute, aren't they?? Their baby is due to come on August 15 (did I get that right?) and I know this will be one sweet baby! Mandy, you are gorgeous and I hope that you enjoy these pictures!!

Children Photography: Henry Dean - Newborn

Meet Henry Dean! Isn't he precious! His whole family is very good friends of my family and I am so honored to have been able to take some of his first photos! Henry is a patriotic baby!! His Daddy, Justin, is serving our country overseas right now. He got to come home on leave for a few weeks - right before Henry was born!! But he's only been able to see Henry via Skype so far. And guess what day Henry was born? You got it! July 4! How fun! The flowers below are from Justin to Henry's Mommy, Sarah. Beautiful huh?

This is Henry's big sister, Sophia. Man - these kids sure have beautiful eyes!

 The little love bug dancing her heart out!
