Ryan & Holly : Wedding

 Holly & Ryan's Wedding day was great!  Holly is so upbeat and easy going, and Ryan is a young man who you just can't help but respect and adore.  They were married at Ryan's home church in Holland.  The day started at 90 degrees and 110% humidity, but then the rain storm came through and cooled everything down.  We worried a bit about how the bride and groom would deal with the rain, but laughed our heads off when Holly said that it rained for every part of their wedding plans, so why wouldn't it rain on their wedding day?  We recalled their engagement session last summer that was literally during a thunderstorm and we had to stop 3 times for downpours to cease.  We had so much fun though... rain can be a shooting blessing sometimes :)  Here are some teasers of this beautiful couple.  They and their bridal party were amazing to work with, and we enjoyed the entire time with them.  Thanks guys!  Enjoy the teasers!

Hudsen : Miracle

What a beautiful and PERFECT little man.  I was sooooo excited for this photo shoot with Hudsen, because we are just finishing up our new studio, which I designed primarily for newborns.  Believe it or not, but Hudsen is the first to try it out.  I do believe the studio light, heater and design is amazing, and praise God for the opportunity we had to build the attachment.  And what better way to start using it for newborns, then with this handsome babe.  This little guy is only 4 days old for his session and seriously, SLEPT THE WHOLE TIME!  Isn't he just gorgeous?  Congrats mommy and daddy, he's precious!

DeVisser : Family Love

My family decided it's time to get another family photo... it's really only been a year since our last one, BUT we added Bob Molenhouse and our little Cadence to the family in that time.  Here is my family, whom I love and adore.  My sisters are all the prettiest girls I know, and the 'co-bros' (our hubby's) are amazing.... victims of the Devisser girls, but still wonderful men who love and honor each of us.  Thanks guys for your patience and cooperation with 3 little ones, and thank you RYAN, for being the camera man for this session!  You've got a future with our family with that kind of talent :)  LOL!

 Our amazing camera operator and my beautiful sister....

 Another gorgeous couple!  We want some nieces or nephews with dimples..... better work on that :)

 the co-bro's

 The original 4 Devisser girls... we look so innocent, but behind our innocence is a trapped man, trained and wrapped around our fingers :)

 The newly-weds!  Mwah!

 Dave snapped this of me, and said he'd be super mad if I deleted it... so now it's here, just incase it disappears from my computer :)

Matt & Amy : Engaged

Matt and Amy will be getting married this September!  We eagerly await the opportunity to photograph their wedding :)  Amy thought of the coolest idea for their engagement photos.  They happen to be huge sports fans, and each had a shirt with a favorite players number.  Her's from the Tigers, and his from the Lions.  The best part was the numbers!  The date of their wedding!  9-15.  Totally wicked.  Thanks guys!   Enjoy some teasers!

Tough Dudes : posing

What do you get when you ask a 4 year old, and a 2 year old to pose like 'tough-guys'?  LOL!  So funny.

 I was playing around again on a hot day, and the kids were fine going from shade spot, to shade spot and letting me play around with photography.  Thanks kiddos!

Ezra : 4 years

"Z" is 4 years old next week and again holds the reputation for easiest and most cooperative child to photograph.  I believe this was our 5th shoot together and every one has been so easy for me.  Ezra takes pride of knowing he is so well behaved.  His mom said he was practicing how to smile, pose, and say 'cheese' on the way over.  Oh, the smiles these little ones bring to a photographer!  Happy Birthday and Thanks Ezra!  

 I love this look.... mostly because it was almost impossible to get!!!  He didn't understand 'don't smile!' LOL!

Changes to Photography Pricing!

Alrighty!  You'll all be super excited to know that there will be NO increase of prices for our photography for a while... in the 2nd half of 2012 and for 2013, we have actually added a few more budget friendly packages and prices after hearing the love for our style.  You will be able to find our prices and packages in the blog 'pages' in the links above this post on the home page.  I will be slowly making the price changes to our website as well, but hope to have those all finalized by the end of June.

Popular Request #1 : 

Digitals!  We will still offer single purchased digitals at $30 each, but most of our packages will now have an option for the pre-purchased collection's digital files .  For weddings, that will be anywhere from $500-$800 to purchase your entire wedding collection ready to print on your own.  $800 will be for DVD's purchased AFTER the wedding.  The  $500 will be the new cost if it is a pre-purchased add on.  If your wedding package already includes the DVD as an option, you can pre-pay to add the wedding album or the DVD for the $500 pre-purchase rate.   Also, as a bonus, the optional engagement session digitals will be added to the wedding DVD when the DVD is chosen as an add on.  No refunds or discounts if the Engagement session was not claimed.

For smaller sessions, the DVD/USB for the gallery collection can be pre-purchased for a lower cost then the post purchasing.  It will now be $450 for the session and the digital collection, rather then before where it was $500 + the session fee of $75-$150

Popular Request #2 :

Our wedding style affordable in more budgets.  We will still uphold our reputation for creative, good quality images in a professional manner, but by going to a 1 photographer shooting style for 2013 in some packages, the price can be more affordable  and you can still be given the same hourly coverage, and products.  One photographer may lower the price, but not the quality of images.  Please inquire about the value and shooting differences between our 1 and 2 photographer packages.

Please e-mail if you have any questions, or desire to book a session!
