Brrrrr.....

Ok, so here's the latest gossip.

There was once a time that I loved winter. Because I've been spoiled living in North Carolina the past several years, I thought it to be a breeze to get through. Now that I live in Michigan and have discovered that I have to wear unfashionable boots instead of my cute flats all winter long....summer is making it's way to the top of my "favorite season's" list.

Although it has it's draw backs, winter can be pretty.....so I took some pictures!

Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Zachary!

It's actually happening.....my little brother is growing up. The day after my family arrived to Grand Rapids on a long trip from NC we celebrated Zachary's 7th birthday!! We rented out a room at the Children's Museum in downtown GR. We had a lot of fun, kids AND adults. Lots of toys, lots of pizza, cake and presents. All around, good old fashioned fun!

Here are some pictures from Zach's party! I love you buddy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

 

 

 

North Carolina :: Naturesque Things

I love North Carolina. I love Nature. I love taking pictures. Pretty much, it's just an epic combination. :) When I was in NC with Brad visiting my family we went up to the parkway for the afternoon and relished in it's November beauty! The whole trip was a lot of fun but I really enjoyed our peaceful afternoon on the parkway. Here are some pictures from the day. Enjoy!

WELCOME!

Welcome to my "new" blog. This has been my photography blog, but since I joined my business with my boyfriend's... I have decided to turn this place into a personal blog. With this blog, I hope to express what God is doing in my life through ramblings and photographs. This is my open book, if you will... so feel free to check back often to see what is happening in my life.

Grace & Vyt

Grace & Vyt are one of the sweetest, most in love couples I have ever met! These two were such a delight to photograph.

They're both spunky, happy & full of life! We enjoyed lots of laughter during their session. They're two beautiful people and I hope you can see the love they share for one another in these photographs!
