Grand Rapids Generation Photography

You guys!!!! I can’t even, they are just too cute! Oma and Opa are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary and asked me to come and take some family pictures for them. Of course, I was happy to, look how fantastic they are! Not to mention, I am photographing their grandson’s wedding in September and love to get to know more of my couple’s family.

The family had gathered together to celebrate and I met up with them after dinner. We had our fingers crossed the storms would hold out and we were lucky enough to finish their session just before the gray skies rolled.

It was such a nice session, the cloud cover gave us amazing lighting and the yard was beautiful. My favorite part was definitely Baxter though 🙂 Baxter is the stuffed pup that tagged along for the shoot. Miss Avery was adorable proudly showing him off. She even set up props and was happily assisting me in getting Baxter to smile. Take a look for yourself!

Guess who’s in the crate???

Baxter!

It was a great honor to be able to showcase such an amazing love and I had such a nice time getting to know everyone. I can’t wait to see everyone again in September (especially Baxter).

Ramey Family

Well, we have been slacking at blogging this week since it took us until Thursday to make our first post of the week. On top of being sick, we’ve also had an amazingly busy week photographing different styles of sessions and meeting with two different brides about their upcoming weddings. It feels great to be getting busy again! We’ve got our Spring Experience coming on Saturday and it looks like its going to be a gorgeous morning for those.

Anywho, we wanted to share one of our most recent sessions with you! Marisa has been photographing Cody and Savannah’s family for the last few years and they just recently had another session with her. They are such an adorable little family and we are loving these shots she got while walking around downtown Ionia!

I mean seriously, could they be any cuter?!

Who Are We?

Karlee Bailey & Marisa Lies. We are a team of photographers pursuing our dream careers. One of the best parts of this job is having the opportunity to meet so many new people and capture some of the most important times of their lives. If you contact us, you will most likely have the opportunity to talk to our assistant, Keysha. Be sure to check out her business Keysha Rose Photography. We also work closely with Jaysyn of JayBird Films

The Photographers:

I’m Karlee. I am 25 and I have lived in Michigan my entire life. I took up photography when I was 18 and received my Associates Degree in Photography from Grand Rapids Community College in 2015. I am married to my best friend, Logan, and together we have three fur babies. A cat named Wilma, and two dogs named Wallace and Poncho.

I am a Disney lover, a musician, and singer but I don’t think I’m very good (I’ll leave that up to my husband), and for some reason, I’m a little obsessed with Benedict Cumberbatch. Don’t be shocked if you run into me and my hair is a different color from the first time we met. I like to change it often!

I can be pretty goofy once I get to know you but that spunk really comes out in my shooting style. It really makes me the fun and outgoing artist I am today. I specialize in Senior Portraits, Wedding Portraits, and Pet Portraits.

I am Marisa. I am from the Happy Valley in Pennsylvania (State College, PA) but have been a Michigan resident for over 10 years. I started photography in 2010 and am mostly self-taught. I have three children who I absolutely adore. Cameron, Taylor and Austin, they were my main reason for taking up photography. Photographing them truly started my passion.

I am a Penn State football lover, a coffee drinker, and I am always wearing the color black. I do love to travel and explore new places either on my own or with my children. Seeing and photographing Lake Michigan is one of my favorite things to do! I also enjoy teaching my gymnastics class that I hold during different months throughout the year.

I am very passionate about what I do and love knowing I am setting a great example for my children by working towards my goals every year. Being able to do something that I love for a living is one of the greatest feelings! I specialize in Newborn & Children Portraits, Family Portraits, & Senior Portraits.

Welcome to our very first blog post!

Today we will be featuring an adorable newborn session of little miss Karsyn. She is absolutely beautiful and did such a great job during her photo shoot. She hardly cried and only pooped once!

It was such a joy working with this cute little family and we are so happy to have had the chance to photograph them ❤
