This couple met us downtown Grand Rapids for their engagement session.  We wandered through the streets finding areas that I have never used before.  It was a great practice session for their upcoming Labor Day weekend wedding in northern Michigan.

Next week I will be photographing one of the first big event in these twins lives… Their first birthday!  Emily and I have been so blessed to be part of their lives.  The portrait sessions will grow longer in distance between them, and I hope as their photographer they do not forget me.  Tyler and Addison are growing so fast and it seems like yesterday I first photographed them as they took their first breaths.  Children like them grow up so fast.  Just a blink of an eye and years will pass by before us.

Memorial Day – 2009

“Off with your hat, as the flag goes by!

And let the heart have its say;

You’re man enough for a tear in your eye

That you will not wipe away.”

~Henry Cuyler Bunner


Greater love hath no man than this,

that a man lay down his life for his friends (John 15:13)

This couple got to be one of the first to the train bridge this spring.  As the waters of the Grand River receded we took advantage of one of my favorite locations in the greater Lowell, Michigan area.  This young couple is on their way to big dreams and goals in their lives.  They were a lot of fun to photograph.  This was another couple who took advantage our our Free Engagement Session this spring.  I was so pleased by the response that we are now offering it for the remainder of 2009.  Click here for details

And the 105.3 HOT FM Wedding Giveaway Winner is….

This couple won a free wedding package that we partnered with 105.3 Hot FM to give away during the premier of “Bride Wars” this past fall.  They are getting married in a small church (completely restored) in the St. Louis Michigan area.  I originally was not able to do their event do to another wedding, but when that wedding moved their wedding date Samantha and Kyle didn’t think twice about having us photograph their wedding.  I am excited that they took advantage of the free wedding package!

Many of the other brides took advantage of the Engagement Sessions we gave away at the event.  So many couples took advantage of it that for 2009 we will be giving away Studio Engagement Sessions as our way of saying congratulations on getting married.  For more information check out our Free Engagement page.

Newborn Portrait + Nature = Photo of the Day

I can’t guarantee a photo everyday, but this one really made me stop, be late for my meeting and post an image that melts my heart.  This two week old baby boy is precious.  An example of God’s infinite wisdom and glory.
