Family Portraits at Home- A part of your history- Grand Rapids, Michigan area

Each family comes to Modern Photographics for a different reason.  This family purchased a gift certificate at a silent auction over a year ago.  We honored it like we honor all gift certificates.  This a very cool family.  There family has a lot of cool property here in Lowell, Michigan and the dad has been a successful business owner for years within the community.  Traditional family portraits are what they are used to, but as you know I like to color outside the lines sometimes.  I was able to do that with this family, because they trusted me.  Working hard at first to capture what they had in mind before I dragged them to greener pastures.   We all had a good time and I can’t wait for them to proof their photos tomorrow!

Anniversary Portrait session- Lansing, Michigan

Double bookings happen…and when it does it really usually bothers me.  Its been a few years since we double booked this young lady’s wedding.  We realized the Monday following the booking, and took care of them.  Normally a client requests there money back, but this young married couple wanted us to still take photos of them at some point.  Years went by and we were able to get together this past week to photograph an incredible session at Michigan State Gardens.

Our little Girl- Modern Photographics Family

My wife and I are blessed with an incredible little dancing princess as a daughter.  I feel like I have neglected her over the years because she isn’t on the front page of my website.  Its been a couple of months since I took these images, but better late than never.  Take a look!

Birthday Baby Portraits – Lowell, Michigan Grand Rapids Area

Miss Vada turned one just a couple of weeks ago, and boy is she a cutie.  Vada liked her cake and made the coolest hand print over her face.  This photo now hangs in the front of our studio.  Birthday portraits are so much fun.

“Getting Dirty” Engagement Portraits – Grand Rapids Michigan

Tale of two sessions in one.  Alex, Carolyn and I had a blast during this session.  Everything was set for an elegant, perfect, and clean session within the Amway Grand hotel.  Things started that way, but ended totally on a muddy note.  We all wanted outdoor photos (I can want certain photos as a photographer) and would be disappointed if we didn’t at least try.  So after a beautiful dancing filled indoor session, we took things outside to the garden at Calvin College.  With rain and mud we made unique, one of a kind, artistic photos that reflect just how goofy this couple is.  Silliness was an understatement!

The Value of Family Portraits

Kara’s Story-

Kara was born with a very critical heart condition.  Not knowing what the future held for her and her family, capturing this chapter became so much more important.  Kara had her first open heart surgery just days after this photo was taken.  Her family realized something very important after the surgery.  Her chest was no longer like it was when she was born.  The value of the portraits increased immensely.  They were the last images of her God given unaltered body.  The scars will heal over time, but now the family has images of her.

If you would like to follow Kara’s story you can follow it by becoming a friend of her Dad- Brian Calley- http://www.facebook.com/briancalley
