Sam's session was scheduled during a week when the temperatures were in the 90s. It was hot and humid and he wanted to have his photos at a place near and dear to his heart, Roselle Park, where he trained with his cross country team. The silos were a view that he wanted to include in his senior portraits and I wanted to deliver on that request. Roselle Park is one of the most open places around, literally no shade to be found and Sam wanted to wear some cooler weather clothes (on a 90 degree day may I remind you...) so I suggested we go early in the morning. He was a super good sport about it and we had an incredible time capturing some of my favorite images of the year. I love stepping outside of my comfort zone and finding ways to be creative in a new place.
Did you know that Rachael Holt Photography offers amazing montages (custom designed collages?) This one in particular is for an amazing gymnast here in the Ada area but these can be done for anyone at any age. Sports, music or even just for fun! Think of the possibilities!
Here is a look at an example of a montage followed by the images that were captured in studio to create it.
Let's schedule your session today!
Felicia and Josh were married on August 17th at Hilltop Memory Makers in Coral, Michigan. There was so much planning that went into this day and the details of it were simply amazing. Just watching these two throughout the day was so magical. If either of them felt stress, it instantly melted away when they were together. The day was truly about the love between these two and the joy that being around close family and friends brings to their lives. This was a celebration that everybody enjoyed to its fullest, including me. Trying to narrow down images to really represent their day was nearly impossible so enjoy the long blog post! Thank you to my incredible second shooter for the day, Tim Kamppinen.
Josh and Felicia's dog, Diesel was the "ring dog." He did a great job!
The "party" barn was a great place for cocktail hour and dessert. Again, the details that went into this day were just incredible.
The guests had fun all evening playing lawn games that her dad hand crafted.
Thank you Tim for capturing this fun one, I love it!
Felicia's mom, Margie, literally MADE all of the flower arrangements. They were gorgeous and they were everywhere. This is the "dinner" barn. So very cool.

I love these milestone sessions that take place during a Baby's First Year package! Brynn is 9 months old now and seriously the most happy baby girl I have ever seen. This session was so much fun and I can't wait to see what she is up to in just a few short months for her big one year session!
