World, meet Elizabeth! This girl is hardworking and introspective, and I’m thankful for her desire for honest relationships and trustworthiness.

Go get ‘em, girl!

downtown grand rapids senior session // marissa

This one is going places! And I don't just say that because she's family; Marissa is a driven student, an honest friend, and a talented dancer. Also, I'm pretty sure she read all three Lord of the Rings books before she reached the age of ten, if that says anything about her character and her desire to learn. She picks things up fast!

Marissa, dear, you have so much ahead.

World, meet sweet Cayetana (that's: katie-AH-na) from Nebraska. This woman is nothing short of fierce. She is a senior in high school, and she is chock-full of spunk and grit. She is dauntless and dear, and he laughter gets me goin' every time.

Cayetana gets a special place in my heart, and I was so thankful to take yet another trip to her area to visit, take these pictures with her, and experience the Winnebago Powwow for the fourth time.

Enjoy those precious dimples, happy eyes, and lovely freckles.

cannonsburg senior session // cole

I met Cole and his family on a mission trip to Mexico several years ago. Since then I have watched him go with them again and again to build homes and relationships there. Taking pictures with Cole was a humbling experience, as he was very easy-going having his picture taken, but I also learned more about his passion for the people of Mexico and his desire to study optometry so he can help them long-term!
