Photos Full Of Love: Grand Rapids Family Photography

I always try to capture what’s true.  Even though I may prompt a little, lead a little, and draw out a little bit, I never know what a child or family will give.  Sometimes it’s a lot of silliness and playfulness, sometimes it’s more serious and thoughtful, and other times a special, tender relationship shines through.

I am loving my annual visits with this brother and sister pair.  Indeed, they share a special bond, and even our short mini session revealed that with such a minimum of prompting.  There is nothing better than knowing that I captured a hint of their care and love for each other.

Lovely Family: Grand Rapids Photography

Since I first met this family last fall, they have added one new sweetie to their photographs.  I was lucky enough to meet their darling baby boy and get a glimpse of how their family is growing and changing.  Big sister has transformed from toddler to preschooler.  Luckily, my specialty is kids who are on the run.  I love to capture the action and spirt and fun of this special stage.

I’m guessing it won’t be long before baby brother is running after his big sister.  It is truly an honor to capture these honest smiles and quiet expression.

Playful Photos: Grand Rapids Child Photographer

I love it when moms are willing to jump in for photos.  Sometimes it takes getting a little dirty, a little out of breath, and a lot of silly, but the results are priceless.  There is nothing better for me than the opportunity to capture the love between a mom and her son or daughter.  It’s magical.

LOVE the real beauty of these – they tell the story so well, in an artful composition. So far from a snapshot it isn’t even funny! THIS is what custom photography should be! What every family dreams of having….

Morning at the Park: Grand Rapids Child Photography

I was so excited to meet up with this sweet, beautiful, curly-haired girl.  While this was a mini session, there is maximum cuteness and expression in these photos!

claireOctober 2, 2011 - 4:33 pm

this little sweetie is just precious!

Sweet Baby: Grand Rapids Newborn Photography

Phew…what an incredibly busy August and September.  I have some availability for October, but I’m sure we’ve all felt the chill in the air signaling shorter days and more unpredictable weather.  It’s totally great if you wish to sport hats, scarves, and boots for your photo session, but I would still recommend scheduling something sooner rather than later!  Contact me at june@junekuiper.com to get your session on the calendar.

In the meantime, I will share a little sneak peek of this pink, sweet, cozy newborn.  What a beautiful blessing indeed.
