The VS Family

I am SO far behind on blogging! Summer has slammed me....okay, so I have had a lot of shoots...but I've also been spending lots of time doing summer stuff with my girls, going to the beach, swimming, etc etc...so don't feel too bad for me! I just haven't been able to prioritize blogging. I'll catch up eventually, right?

I have a bunch of fun sessions I want to share with you! So these are no longer previews....oh well....I can still put them here, right?

This is a really fun family. The mom has been Rowan's pre-school teacher for the last two years. We're going to miss her so much this fall when Rowan is in kindergarten! She has just been the best teacher for Rowan....so loving and sensitive. I've also been able to work with the dad on a few projects for the GR Christian Schools--he is a talented graphic designer. He has a great eye for photography, so it is an honor for him to want ME to take their family photos!

I loved this shoot. It's a different thing to take pictures of teenagers and young adults as part a family unit...not a family with the under-5 kiddos. I don't have to spend any time chasing kids around, which is kind of nice, but I do have to figure out how to get genuine smiles. And affection from teen-aged siblings!

These guys were truly up for anything (even a parking garage!) and good-spirited throughout. Thanks for a super relaxed, fun evening!

K and J's Wedding!

Okay. Just a disclaimer: this is going to be the longest blog post EVER. At least scroll down to the end because there is a really fun photo that I put last. Have I mentioned that I have just a little problem with narrowing photos down? I just had to include all of these here. I couldn't help it. And K and J, there are a LOT more coming soon!

What a fun wedding! This was such a smooth, problem-free day...everyone was on time, where they were supposed to be...for such a big wedding party, this was a huge blessing for us as photographers! K and J were both so laid back and really seemed present and able to enjoy their day. So clearly in love with each other, and so supported by their families and community.

This wedding was a ton of fun to be a part of, thanks guys!
