I’ve been waiting in anticipation for Janna + Dan’s sweet little guy to be born so I could celebrate the wonderful addition to their family with some pictures! I photographed their engagement and wedding and I love that I get to keep in touch with my wedding couples and document their lives as they become a sweet little family.

Here are some of my favorites. Didn’t I say he was a sweetie? So adorable.


so tiny! I love the tri-fold frame in the corner displaying lots of pictures from their engagement and wedding. so fun to see that!

oh my goodness, I love that little smile!

Love this one of father & son. His face is so funny in the shot on the right. He didn’t much care for us stripping him down to his birthday suit. ;)

Isn’t his nursery adorable?

peek a boo!


The best little Christmas gift ever!

Slideshow with more favorites coming next week!

the currier family

After the Bechler family pictures, we stayed at the park and did a session of just Brad & Amanda + their sweet baby boy Landon. Poor Landon was such a grumpy little guy, but he’s just so cute. Here are some favorites. :)

Last weekend, I had a fun time with the Bechler family, who I’ve known for many years. I love all of them so much and it was great to be able to take some family pictures for them. Here are a few favorites. :)

grady is 1

October 20, 2009 – 10:06 am


Took family pictures for my friend Heidi on Saturday and this was one of the last shots I got. I’ll share more of their pictures later, but I thought it would be fitting to show this one today since it’s Grady’s first birthday. Can’t believe it’s been a year already. Click HERE to see some pictures I took shortly after he was born. He’s such a cutie pie.

Happy Birthday, Grady!

the laurie family

May 11, 2009 – 11:56 am


I had such a great time with the Laurie’s last week. I took Eric and Ida’s engagement pictures last year in January, but this was the first time I met the rest of the family and they were a joy! We met here in Hastings at Tyden Park and I could tell immediately that they were a fun group that laugh together a lot. My cheeks hurt from laughing and smiling so much.

The sky threatened rain showers all evening, but it held off. And all the rain we had the week before our shoot really helped the trees in the park to bloom. They looked so pretty and we took advantage of them for the pictures.

Here are just a few of this wonderful family:

happy new year everyone!

December 31, 2008 – 8:04 pm

I have been extremely blessed to work with wonderful couples and families in 2008. I’ve shared with them as they joined their lives, celebrated an engagement, welcomed a baby (or babies in the case of my cousin who had twins), adopted a child, prepared for high school graduation. It’s the stories that mean so much to me and I feel so honored that so many of you have invited me to capture these moments for you.

This might take a bit to load, but I’ve put together a little slideshow of highlights from 2008.

I’m looking forward to what 2009 holds. Hopefully I’ll see many of you again and make many new friends in the new year.

Happy New Year!
Kris

Pieter, Max and Ellie | saint joseph michigan children photographer

December 29, 2008 – 6:47 pm

In November, I met up with these amazing kids at Kiwanis Park in Saint Joseph. The pictures were a surprise for their dad for Christmas, so I’ve been holding off posting anything until after the holidays just in case. I LOVED hanging out with these guys and just following them around for an hour or so letting them be themselves and do their thing. Pieter is awesome with his skateboard, Max is a soccer lover and Ellie is a little gymnast with all her cartwheels and jumps. We wandered around the park with all its beautiful fall colors and took a ton of fun photos. Here is a slideshow with a bunch of my favorites.
