Logan is one adorable guy! Ok, most 17 year old guys probably don’t want to be called “adorable”, but that how I roll…and no matter how you slice it, he’s a cutie! It was so much fun hanging out with him and his mom for his session….check out a few that I LOVE

Have a fabulous senior year Logan!!!

Kendra is SO MUCH FUN! She showed up at my studio for her session as happy as could be and as we chatted all about wardrobe and backgrounds, I started to feel like I’d known her for years. If only she had graduated about 15 years ago, she could’ve easily been my BFF! (gasp! am I really that old??!!!)

One of the first things I notice about her was her smile….simply gorgeous! Plus Kendra is so at home in front of the camera that everything she did was completely adorable…I can’t wait to have her model for me soon…more about that later :)

Thanks so much for hanging with me Kendra!!! Here’s a few of my faves!

Love this dress…Kendra has such great style!adorable!what a cutie! Congrats Kendra on your last year of school! I just know its going to be one of the best years of your life! xoxo

During our shoot, she reminded me slightly of a younger Katie Holmes….what a doll! I seriously seem to get the cutest seniors ever! Hannah’s session began with some fab make-up with the amazing  Allison Bower, if all my seniors did this I would be in heaven!

For the country look we headed out to an orchard….LOVE her cowgirl hat and boots!

You don’t have to go far to find cornfields in Michigan :) LOVE Hannah you are a ROCKSTAR!Love this light :) this dress is my fave!I adore her in these….Thanks so much Hannah for hanging out with me! I hope your senior year is as amazing as you are! xoxo

She instantly made me smile when I saw her….I LOVED her style! Then as she open up her bag full of Urban Outfitters clothing, Members Only Jackets and some vintage jeans from the early 1980′s that her mom used to wear, I just knew we were going to have a fabulous session….

Maddie’s eyes are simply stunning!LOVE her glasses!!!!What a stinking cutie!These are her mom’s jeans….LOVE!you are soooo Beautiful!These images make me thing of an ad for Anthropologie or Urban Outiftters…. Thanks Maddie for hanging out with me! Have a fabulous Senior Year!

I just can’t believe they are growing up so fast! This year, Bregan is a Senior!!!! WOW! How did that happen??!!!

Bregan has been in front of my camera for years…Its been so much fun watching her grow up…and getting to take tons of pictures along the way! I guess that’s what you get when your aunt is a photographer….back in the day I used to drag her and her siblings out to do mini photoshoots with my old film camera for class projects…and she always was a natural in front of the camera. Now she also rocks it behind the camera too! She has come out to my house during Christmas breaks and Summer Breaks for about 4 years to intern with me….I LOVE the eye that she has for photography!

For her session, we wanted to do something different…so we headed to Chicago and ran all over the city (in the 90+ degree heat) taking pictures….I was pretty much a giant puddle at the end of it, but somehow Bregan didn’t even look like the heat effected her at all. She should seriously get into modeling!

Here are a TON of my faves….I had such a hard time narrowing them down!

I LOVED Navy Pier….it so full of amazing spots for pictures! Bregan brought one of her Besties with her for a few shots…I think everyone should do this! By the way, don’t you just adore wax lips?! Bregan has some serious style! It was quite tricky to get this shot on the bridge without a ton of pedestrians in the shot….but somehow we pulled it off :) I LOVE the city view behind her :) this reminded us of a certain Taylor Swift video….so pretty!LOVE the light in this old church…after our Chicago session, Bregan came out to intern again and so we headed out to get some more pictures with a softer feel….why not have enough to fill a huge book for her open house…. ROCK the Dress!!! (p.s. her very talented mom made this prom dress! ) I just love corn fields and Bregan is always up for anything!LOVE these!so jealous of her hair…and her gorgeous eyes!!! Congrats girl on your last year of high school! I am so proud of the young woman you’ve become and I can’t wait to see what your future has in store! LOVE you to the moon and back! xoxo

Meet Taylor…she is such a sweetheart with a love for gymnastics & running track, plus she has some of the prettiest skin I’ve ever seen, and the most fabulous curly hair plus some seriously killer blue eyes to top it all off…what a doll! She was such a dream to work with!

Here are just a few of my faves from her session in Downtown Grand Rapids….it was so hard to narrow them down!

Wowza! Her blue eyes are simply stunning! I love beautiful light like this…I could’ve shot here all day…Thanks again Taylor for being such a cutie! Good luck in your last year of high school…and be sure to embrace all of the adventures that come your way! xoxo
