Another family outing this past weekend to Coopersville to ride the Santa Train. I highly recommend it! We had a lot of fun and it was much better than waiting in line to see Santa at the mall. The kids were totally surprised and I got lots of fun pictures. Here are a few!








Two years ago today, I photographed the beautiful Christmas wedding of Dave and Tracey. They were married shortly after I started this blog so I wasn’t yet doing slideshows. As I was going through their pictures to make the little holiday banner at the top of the page, I realized today is their anniversary. So I thought I’d share some of their pictures, which haven’t before been seen here.
Happy Anniversary!
Also, if you are looking for a videographer for your wedding, check out their website.
Thanks, Erinn, for sending me these great pictures today. I especially love the cute Christmas ornament.





This blog is usually filled up with weddings and photo shoots all year long, so now that it’s holiday time and photo season is mostly over, I thought I would share a little more of me and my family. Starting with our trip last night to Frederik Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids to see the Christmas Around the World display and the fun Polar Express model trains they had running around in there.
The trees line the hallway and are covered with beautiful ornaments from lots of different countries. I liked Mexico …

… and Australia.



Very cool nativity display


There was an elaborate track running through several rooms with little recreations of old Grand Rapids buildings and little trains chugging around it. My kids loved that!

I love this shot of them looking up at the train as it passes over their heads. ![]()

Fun outside in the children’s area. ![]()




This trip was the first of several outings I have planned for us this year. I made a little advent calendar for the kids out of jewelry gift boxes. Feeling a little crafty this year. They open one each day from December 1st to the 24th to countdown to Christmas. Inside each is something special (a treat, a small toy, a coupon for an event like going to the gardens).
They are loving it!!
