Voorheis family 2023

At the end of “sunflower season” I discovered a great field near my house at Bremer Produce (which was free) and immediately began searching for someone to do a photo session there! My friends had been trying to think of unique locations for family pictures this year and this seemed like a great option. The trick to getting a four year old and two year old to focus for a picture session is snacks and these two definitely enjoyed the cookies their mom brought along! Here are some of my favorites from their session :)

Hudsonville Varsity Lacrosse 2023

I know two girls on the Hudsonville varsity lacrosse team, but due to our cold rainy spring weather the last month I have not been motivated to attend any of their games. Last Wednesday I finally made it though and had a lot of fun learning about a sport I know very little about, plus they won the game! I could tell their team works hard and has fun together because the people on the sideline had a bubble gun that they would spray on teammates as they came off the field. Full disclosure, I am not a sports photographer and I had the wrong settings on my lens for half the game, but I did get a few good shots that I wanted to share!

Rayne Class of 2023

Rayne’s mom contacted me at the beginning of August about taking senior pictures but we hadn’t decided on a date or location until I had the very last minute idea of doing a photo shoot at the fair. I’m so glad this worked out and I was able to meet Rayne after hearing about her for years because her mom and I used to work together. The fair was busy, but she was patient with me always waiting for people to move out of the background for our shots. Here are some of my favorites, have a great senior year Rayne!

Ross and Shanna's Wedding

On a beautiful fall evening I had the chance to photograph Ross and Shanna’s intimate wedding ceremony at their friends house on a small lake in Hudsonville. This wedding was more then just a celebration of the bride and groom, but also a joining of two families. Small weddings are so special because the couple gets to spend time with all of their guests and enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere. After the ceremony everyojne headed to the nearby Hudsonville Winery for dinner, drinks and even a game of touch football for the kids. Congratulations to the new happy family, thanks for letting me be part of your special day!
