Ionia Maternity | Lopez

Shannon was just about to have her third child when she decided she wanted to do a couple maternity photos. With her being an amazing client of mine and absolutely gorgeous, I jumped on the opportunity because I knew she would let us try out a couple new things. She wasn’t afraid to get in the water and she let us toss some awesome looking powder behind her all while wearing a couple beautiful maternity gowns. I am so in love with these images, and this girl is stunning! Having only a week left in her pregnancy at this point, she rocked her session!

We were able to go to a couple locations around the area of Ionia, including the State Park, and ended up in my parents pool so I could test out my new underwater housing for my Sony A6000. The wheat field and clematis were a perk as well.

I was able to go meet the new little babe last Friday and let me tell you, he’s just as beautiful as his mamma. You’ll get to see those images soon ❤

Thanks for reading

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).

Grand Rapids Senior Photography

Toby | GHS | Class of 2019

Everyone meet Toby! Toby is our Grandville High School senior model for the class of 2019. We are super excited to be photographing his full session up in Traverse City after having such an awesome mini session with him. I have known Toby’s family for over 15 years (man, do I feel old!) and cannot believe he is going to be entering his senior year.

We met up downtown Grand Rapids and quickly caught up and shared stories. It took a little convincing to get Toby to agree to our model program, but he clearly is going to knock it out of the park! Now he can share wallets with friends that will give them a discount on their senior sessions.

I love that we incorporated the city during Toby’s session. Working downtown is one of my favorite locations to use. There are just so many different settings in one area. Dark alleys, busy streets, amazing architecture all blended into one session giving so many different looks.

We look forward to sharing more of his story with you later on this summer!

Make sure to send us an email at brickstreetstudio217@gmail.com for more information. Mention Toby’s name for an additional discount.

Do you believe in Unicorns?!

I’m sure a lot of you have been dying to see more of our Unicorn photos. We had SO much fun doing these and everyone has just loved them! The Ooohh’s and Aahhh’s that I get to hear at their gallery reveals are amazing. When they bring in their littles to the reveals and they still can’t believe that they got to take pictures with a real unicorn. It fills my heart with so much joy knowing that I was able to provide these families with such unique and magical photographs that they will be able to remember forever!

Unfortunately, I can’t fit all of them onto this blog but here are a few of our many favorites! Thank you so much to everyone that came out! We also want to thank Nicole Thompson for giving us the best unicorn for the job ❤

If you have a little boy (or girl) who wants to participate in the magic, we are having a Sailboat Experience on August 5th!! Fill out this form and wait for your proposal to schedule your date! You can book here!

Thanks for taking a peek! Fair minis are also available. Limited times!

Styled Shoot

This past weekend we had the opportunity to partake in a “Styled Shoot”. If you don’t know what a styled shoot is, it is something that we in the wedding industry put on to help each other out. The photographers will go in and photograph models, gowns, desserts, jewelry, flowers and other things that go into making a wedding day complete so those vendors will have some images to share in their portfolios, and we as photographers will have new images to add to our portfolios.

Thanks to Lavender & Lace Photography for putting this event on! I was able to meet a few other photographers as well as some great vendors in the Grand Rapids area and beyond. While also capturing some beautiful images throughout the day. I hope you enjoy!
