Katie and Kirk – Allendale Engagement Photography

Posted on July 29, 2010

Kai met Katie and Kirk at Grand Valley State University to photograph their engagement pictures on Monday. Katie and Kirk are both graduates of GVSU and felt the location fit them perfectly.
Kai had never shot on the campus before but was grateful for the opportunity to shoot somewhere different!
Katie and Kirk are getting married in a couple of weeks and we are excited to photograph their big day!
(Is anyone else noticing an over-abundance of ”K” names in this blog post?)

Allie’s Senior Pictures – Grand Rapids Portrait Photography

Posted on July 23, 2010

Allie is graduating from East Grand Rapids this coming year. On Wednesday, Kai had the pleasure of photographing her senior pictures. He also did some shots of her and her sister, Mack.

I had a lot of involvement in this shoot! The night prior, I went to the girl’s home and helped style the outfits for the photos …and before the session, Allie and Mack came into the salon and I styled their hair. I also tagged along for this session to help with posing and clothing/hair adjustments.
I came up with the concept for the final locations awhile ago. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do but hadn’t had the opportunity … I was so glad Allie was up for it!
For more of my hair styling work, check out my webpage.

For information on the girl’s outfits, look below!

Kaitlyn’s Senior Session – Grand Rapids Portrait Photography

Posted on July 22, 2010

On Monday, Kai did a two-location session with Kaitlyn. For her first location, she chose a downtown, urban setting. Afterwards, Kaitlyn stopped by the salon where I curled her hair for the second, natural location.
I also had the pleasure of helping out with the second half of the session. I really love assisting with poses and hair/clothing adjustments at our portrait sessions. Sometimes it’s nice not to be the one taking pictures.

For more information on where she found her clothes, look below.

Loralee and Philip – Rockford Wedding Photography

Posted on July 21, 2010

Another high school sweetheart wedding!

Loralee and Philip had a nature inspired wedding last weekend. The ceremony was at a friend’s property in Belding. With five acres of ponds and wildflowers, it was the perfect setting for their wedding.
After their ceremony, the couple enjoyed the evening at another friend’s barn for their reception. Purple fabric and lace hung from the rustic beams in the barn while Loralee, with a flower wreath in her hair, and Phil danced to records below.
We really enjoyed documenting this one-of-a-kind wedding and wish only the best for Loralee and Phil!

“I’ve been with you such a long time
You’re my sunshine.
I want you to know, my feelings are true.
And I really love you.
…
You’re my best friend.
You make me live.”
