When I’m not photographing weddings and couples, senior portrait pictures are definitely one of my other favorite types of sessions to do! It’s nice to work with someone in such a laid back setting. So I definitely enjoyed my time with Holly in downtown Grand Rapids. We just explored the area a little bit and stopped to take pretty senior pictures of her in front of interesting scenery. Plus, it gave me the chance to see Holly’s sister, an old friend of mine. Photography sometimes connects me with the most random people that I probably wouldn’t get to see under other circumstances. I love it!

Holly was really easy to photograph — she’s so cute and smiles naturally.

Her parents own a bowling alley, so they had just one request — Holly with the bowling ball.

I adore this last one. I think Holly thought I was crazy when I asked her to crouch down behind the mailbox, and I had to wait a really long time for the wind to blow her hair perfectly, but it ended up coming out so cool. Totally worth the wait.
