rainy day

Today has just been UGLY outside, it's dark and stormy and just blah all together. My morning did not start out the greatest and the weather has not exactly been the best pick me up, so I'm creating my own! Yesterday was beautiful, sunny and 85! Of course I did as any person living 8 minutes from Lake Michigan would do, I went to the beach! (The free one because I am a college student and therefore a cheap-o..don't judge!) On my way I stopped to snap some pictures of the gorgeous flowers my mom has planted outside.
See? Purple + yellow = perfection


This is one of my favorite sights, whoever created this tunnel entryway to the lake was a GENIUS! The other day my friend Tianna visited from Indiana and when she saw this she screamed, "Are you bringing me to the OCEAN!?" People just don't believe that you can't see the other side.

Tianna also made this wonderful little reading buddy! It helps keep my page without bending it!

I love me some color symmetry :)


Oh Michigan weather, you are the worst!

HOLLAND, miMeet Kristin! I met Kristin earlier in the year when I traveled to her home in Martin, MI as on-set photographer for Daniel's film Encased (check it out if you haven't!) I instantly fell in love with their beautiful farm and their down to earth family style. Carol, Kristin's mother, is so sweet. When she called me up to see if I would take Kristin's senior pictures I was in! We had a fabulous day at a local blueberry field and ended up with some beautiful images. I really feel like I'm learning more and more with every shoot and growing into myself.

Isn't she beautiful!?

Natural laughter is what I live for :)


Umm...favorite!







Daniel's favorite :)



Kristin, you have the most beautiful smile!

This might also be a favorite...I'm totally allowed to have more than one..

HUNTINGTON, in It has taken me FOREVER to put these up! I've been meaning to for a while now and I finally put the time to it! Nathan is the RD of my boyfriend's dorm and Daniel served as an RA under him last year. Nathan and Val have four boys, two older boys, Cody and Tristan and then twin boys, Wyatt and Travis. Daniel is super close with their family and LOVES playing with those boys. He volunteered (actually I begged him) to come with me to help shoot and keep track of the kiddos and he was more than happy to help. SO, without further ado (and with considerably less input from me..) here is the Geer family.

Thanks for letting us be a part of your day and capturing your family!

Oh, just look at my babe, he's going to make such a good dad someday :)
