Beatrice class of 2023

Beatrice is spending her senior year as a foreign exchange student here in West Michigan. She was brave enough to trek through the snow at Hager Park to get to the locations I had in mind for pictures since the parking lot was not plowed all the way! We were lucky to have a sunny day, but it was still cold though you’d never guess looking at Beatrice since she has a natural smile and warmth. Here are some of my favorites from her session :)

Layna, Ellory and Ceana class of 2023

Layna, Ellory and Ceana had been talking since last spring about taking senior pictuers together in the fall. October got busy quickly, but I’m so glad we made time for a quick 30 minute photo shoot at Heritage Park in Grandville on a cloudy Sunday evening! I’ve been the leader of these girls’ small group for six years and I can’t believe they are seniors who are looking at colleges out of state. I love seeing their friendship and I can’t help but remember them as 6th graders when I look at these pictures of them now :) Here are some of my favorite pictures of my favorite members of the class of 2023!

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!

Alexa - class of 2022

On the last nice fall weekend I met up with Alexa and her mom at “golden hour” at the Grand Ravines for her senior photo session! I’ve taken photos of her family many times over the years so Alexa was not shy in front of the camera when it was time for her to get solo pictures. She did a great job and I could’ve taken pictures of this beautiful girl at the beautiful location for another hour if the sun wasn’t setting. Here are some of my favorites - have a great senior year Alexa!
