It was a super chilly afternoon when I met up with Cassie and her mother.  I am always dressed with lots of layers on chilly days like that.....which always makes me feel so bad for the people I am photographing.  Cassie didn't mind the cold and was up for anything.  We had a great time walking around the downtown Muskegon area....stopping at random walls and alleys, searching for the best lighting and settings.  Here are a few of my favorites from her session!!

I love this family!  When starting my photography business, I photographed Darion's older sister, Ashley.  And again....I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with this family again!  Darion, Kelly (Darion's mother) and I walked around the Shack Country Inn finding neat little unique spots for photos....there was just so much to choose from there!!  It was a little chilly...but I always think that is better than being too hot!!

The light was so pretty that night!

Darion sure can give a look that kills :)

I love these!!

We were lucky enough to find this cool railroad background....it looks like it was set up just for us!  Darion's grandfather worked for the railroad, so it was special to her and Kelly!

Saved my favorite for last!!!!

 

Payton and I had lots of fun walking around downtown Newaygo and stopping at the river for some great photos!  She brought along her cute little dog.....who I instantly fell in love with!  She was so cute!!  There are always so many great backdrops and places for photos in this area....I just love it!!  Here are lots of my faves from her shoot!!

I love her sassy-ness in the image on the right!!

Isn't she the cutest dog ever??

I love these last two!

 

I had so much fun with Malachi!  We went to one of my favorite places in Newaygo by the river, then hopped over to the railroad tracks.  I love when clients customize their sessions by bringing their own props, etc.  It makes the session totally you!!  Malachi brought along his acoustic & electric guitars, which made for some great shots!!  Here are the ones I like best!!!

This may be my fave!!

 

Although I live in Fremont, I have never had the chance to shoot downtown Fremont.  I was so excited when Michele, Jack's mom contacted me for a downtown Fremont senior session!  It was a little chilly, but Jack toughed it out with me and Michele......which allowed us to get lots of great shots!!  Here are some of my faves!!
