Andy & Ashley Jo : Engagement

When David and I shoot, we pose our couples, and naturally they look at us and smile. We have to then explain, "we are not here," so they act the way they do around only each other. When we told Ashley Jo and Andy that, Ashley Jo's response to Andy every time was, "Hey there handsome." It was sooooo cute! We went to a small farm north Holland to start this couple's engagement shoot, and ended up at Ridgepoint's trails. They were totally fun, and willing to try some of our silly ideas. In my opinion, the fun ideas turned out as some of the best! Here are some teasers from their shoot. Look on the website in a few days for more from their engagement shoot! Congrats guys! Can't wait for your wedding in August!

Robert & Erika : Engagement

Robert's sense of humor is sooooo much like David's it's scary! He had David laughing all night, and Erika and I were caught in the sarcasm, thinking..... Was he serious or joking? Then David and Robert would burst out laughing and we'd realize they got us again. Erika is one of the most beautiful bride's to be that we've had the pleasure to photograph, and the best part of working with them is that they are totally in love! We started on an overcast sky at the Holland State park, and ended up at the Morningside park gazebo. The sun peeked through the clouds closer to sunset, so we caught some rays of sunshine too! Thanks guys! You were a blast and we can't wait to join you on your wedding day August 21st!!!!

Trisha & Joe : Engagement

Trisha & Joe came to their photo shoot with willingness and excitement. They are in the process of closing on a house in Holland, and were working on getting everything in order for that earlier that day. On Bus 11, all through my elementary days I shared the ride with Trisha and her sisters, and then on Wednesday's a few more kids rode to get to Catechism. Joe was one of those. Trisha and Joe were high school sweethearts and now are engaged!!!

We walked downtown Holland on 8th Street, finding all sorts of original "backdrops" for their photo shoot. It was awesome! Joe's sense of humor kept us all laughing, and Trisha's gorgeous eyes captivated our cameras. Check it out to see for yourself! See more on the website soon!

Luce : Family

9th grade, General Art. I meet Mrs. Luce, my art teacher. She always encouraged my artistic side, which was the only side I ever had. Now, 12 years later, I'm photographing her family. Adorable family, I should add. Downtown Holland, we walked and searched for shots where we could incorporate the beautiful architecture around town. This is the last of our family experimental shoots, and we are ready to take on families with more certainty then ever before. Thanks for helping us out guys! Enjoy the teasers :)

Victoria Hekman : 4 Weeks

Baby Victoria is quite the Daddy's girl. Every time he set her down, she started her whimper, and stop the moment he picked her up and told her everything was O.K. We know this beautiful little girl's folks from our church, and I went to school with her mom. Here are some adorable shots of Victoria Lynn :)

Chad & Shaunna : Wedding

May 16, was a beautiful day here in Grand Rapids Michigan. The beautiful bride, and her handsome husband arrived at Palmer park in great spirits and madly in love. It was a windy day, and everyone there helped hold the place together during the big gusts of 22 mile an hour winds. It was a gorgeous, simple wedding. Our first out door wedding this year, and we loved every minute of it! The Bride and Groom worked with us better then we could have prayed for! Chad is so respectful of Shaunna, and every look he gave her was full of love and admiration. Shaunna was a humble bride, and her love for Chad shown through every little detail of their wedding. It was Chad's birthday that day as well, and she had a fun cake for him decorated as she knew he would love. Thanks guys! We had a blast working with you two, and wanted to show you a few teasers while you are honeymooning. Safe travels!

Here is my dad, and my son watching me ride one of my horses. Grandpa taught Zeke to blow kisses at me and Dazzelyn as we went by.

Mother's Day!

I thought I'd share this from Mothers Day, because I don't see my dad's side of the family often, and quite a few attended our Mother's Day event, in Kalamazoo. Later, Zeke had some fun in the studio, and then in the yard with his bubble machine. Our 4 Generations. My Grandpa De Visser, my dad Paul De Visser, Me, and Zeke.
The one good shot from the studio. A running boy is hard to photograph!
