Upstairs Downtown Tour-IONIA

May 19th was a rainy Saturday morning. Logan (Mr. Brick Street) and I decided we wanted to go to Ionia’s Upstairs Downtown tour. Neither of us had ever been so we drove down to the studio to grab an umbrella and made our way to the ticket booth to purchase our tickets for the event.

They gave us a slip for our tickets that had 8 different locations on it all along Main Street. As we made our way to the first spot, I of course thought I wouldn’t want my camera so I didn’t have it with me. Well that was a mistake. Now I know to never not have my camera even if I want to attempt to take a morning off haha. We made our way back to the studio to grab the camera and then continued onto our tour.

Throughout the tour we were able to see all different buildings that have some amazing history to them. More than I could have ever imagined. Some had areas that had been renovated into apartments, others were still in their original decaying state. One building has been transformed into a wedding venue called Venue 404. It was a beautiful thing to see and to learn about the histories of each of these buildings and what once was there.

These are just a few of the shots I was able to get. To see more please visit HERE

The Lopez Boys

I have been photographing this family since before these boys even came into this world. It’s crazy to believe that Shannon is about to have her third boy and I’ll have the opportunity to photograph him as well! I can’t wait to meet the little guy.

For the last three years I was convinced the twins didn’t like me. They never wanted to smile for me and they ALWAYS cried when they saw me. BUT this time was different. It was a nice May Saturday and the sun was shining. It was a little windy but that was alright, we made it work. Shannon had signed up for a Mommy & Me session only to turn it into a full session surrounding their family. On this day, these two didn’t cry when they saw me, they didn’t turn away, they ACTUALLY SMILED! I got smiles. I cannot even believe it. They gave me big cheeses and continued to do it throughout the session.

We strolled around downtown Ionia on the beautiful brick Main Street and stopped at a few random places throughout the hour we spent together. Shannon wanted a “city” look so we did the best we could in this small town of Ionia utilizing the brick walls and alley ways. They turned out beautifully! I sent Shannon the gallery and she was ecstatic to see them, she said “These are exactly what I envisioned! Perfect!”

Happy birthday to these two cuties, I cannot wait to photograph them for years to come. I especially cannot wait to catch their faces the moment they get to meet little brother.

I hope you’ve enjoyed these just as much as I do! Thanks for reading ❤
