This couple was so much fun to photograph yesterday afternoon! They are from Texas and used to some warmer weather, but kept up high spirits in the cold having some fun with their engagement photos. A beautiful park surrounding Lake Wabasis in Greenville was the location for their photos and is also where they got engaged! It was so wonderful meeting you both and getting to know you a little bit yesterday - I could clearly see your love for each other. I look forward to seeing you and your families again in April at your wedding! Best wishes as you continue planning your wedding day!

What a great time I had with the Phillips family the other day in downtown Grand Rapids! I enjoyed photographing the full family - Buddy the dog included, who is very photogenic I might add! Dorrance and Shellie make great parents to Nathan who was full of smiles and play! I always enjoy meeting little guys like Nathan to get a taste of what to look forward to with my own little boy, Luke, as he grows. The Grand Rapids Art Museum always makes for a fun location for photos, especially on a sunny fall day. Thanks to Shellie and Dorrance for inviting me to photograph your beautiful family - it is such a blessing!

Grand Rapids Baby Photography - Colton

This photography post is long overdue! Little Colton is well over a month old already and growing fast! He was wide awake and interested in everything around him during most of his photo session. I can see he is going to be an active, adventurous little guy as he grows! Congratulations and best wishes to Kristi and Eric on the birth of your beautiful son! I am sure he adds so much joy to your family!


He gets lots of love from his wonderful mom!

I met Cassie when she was only about 8 years old and it is great seeing her now as a young mom to Jaydin! It was wonderful meeting her loving husband, Maurice, and Jaydin, their little son who turned 1 over the weekend. They spent the weekend celebrating his birthday with a family photography session, a great party with family later in the day, and lots of birthday cake! Happy 1st Birthday Jaydin!

Raves and Reviews

I am blessed with work that I truly love! Photography is such a wonderful way to capture how unique and amazing each person really is. Over the past year I have gotten to know many amazing people through photographing their weddings or families. Here is what some past brides and grooms and other portrait clients have had to say...

-----------------------

I am in love with them already and haven't even looked through them
all!!! I can't thank you enough for the wonderful pictures. I was
looking at them the other day and got tears in my eyes, they mean the
world to me. That you were able to capture such a beautiful day, with
these amazing pictures.

Thanks again!!

Kristy did an AMAZING job photographing our wedding in October. We were highly satisfied with every thing she did for us. She was very flexible and we would always hear from her the next day. She had wonderful ideas and captured all the moments we wanted. Kristy made sure we had all our proofs within a few weeks, which was wonderful. We had them within 2-3 weeks, which most photographers take longer. Her prices were wonderful, we got SO much for our money. I would HIGHLY recommend Kristy to anyone. I really liked that she had the option of having a second photographer, all her services she offered, and her creativity.

-----------------------

Steph and I just looked at the photos at your blog and we love them! We are so excited to see the rest when you are done with them. Thanks so much for getting these done so quickly! We had a great time with you as our photographer, you made it very fun for us!

Kristy
The pictures look Fabulous!! I cant wait to share them and start putting them on my walls.

Thanks for everything.

Dear Kristy,

I'm supposed to be making dinner (both yesterday and today) and instead I sit here looking at your photos. They are SO good. Your creative talent and attention to detail make a great combo. I really appreciate how you captured my daughter. She is so at ease and this is the beautiful girl I know and love.

Now the hard part - picking!!!

Thanks again!

Hi Kristy,
We just got our proof book in the mail the other day. You did a great job! It will be fun showing our family and friends the pictures!

-----------------------

Kristy was the ideal photographer. At moments I felt like I was very demanding and had certain shots I wanted her to take and she was very accomodating! What we paid for her service was EXTREMELY resonable compare to others and he work was awesome! I had many many people compliment my pictures and go on and on about how awesome the photographer did with capturing the emotions of the day!

-----------------------

Kristy did an amazing job capturing our newborn's personality. She maintained a flexible schedule and was so patient with our baby. She also did a session with our extended family. She is talented with both individual close-ups and group shots. We highly recommend her.
I've been photographing this little sweetie since she was born 18 months ago! Kyleigh and her parents, Mark and Amy, all had fun enjoying playing in some fall leaves - this is always a favorite activity for toddlers (and their parents too:)! Kyleigh is going to be a wonderful big sister next year when baby #2 comes along. At the end of the this photo set you will notice I posted a few images of her all the way from birth to 1 year. It is so amazing seeing all the changes that take place in the early years of a child's life - how they grow and learn and explore the world around them. I hope you enjoy seeing how beautiful and sweet Kyleigh is at this stage of 18 months!

What can I say about this little baby girl other than she is the precious answer to so many prayers! She is welcomed by loving parents and a wonderful extended family too. Esther has been one of my closest friends for over 20 years and it has been awesome to see God pouring out His blessings into her life through a wonderful husband, Pete, and now a beautiful daughter, Ellie! Congratulations to you both as you begin your journey as parents - I know you will raise her in an atmosphere of love and teach her all about her heavenly Father too:) I love you guys!








Liza Jane welcomes Ellie too!
