yesterday, a group of girls spent the day together celebrating the thirteenth birthday of hannah! what a fun-filled day! not only were we driven around grand rapids in a stretch escalade, but every place we went was somewhere i’ve never been! haha so i had just as much fun as the girls did :) i tagged along as both photographer and friend, and after hitting plenty of places, we headed back to the house to do hair and make up before the group went to dinner at the sundance grille in downtown grand rapids. happy birthday, hannah!

the birthday girl and me :)

this horse belongs to my good friend bethany! he’s a youngster that she just purchased and is still in the process of training. after taking a few pictures of her horse by himself, beth brought out another horse so they could play together… have you ever watched horses play?! it’s spectacular! they were having so much fun!

[cru.] fall retreat

“don’t stop believin’!” blared through the speakers at bair lake bible camp at the start of every worship session on oct. 9-11 during the west michigan cru fall retreat. no, we didn’t worship to journey music, it was the theme for the weekend! pastor kevin butcher from detroit came to share the love of Christ with us friday and saturday. flag football filled our saturday afternoon, and a huge bonfire came in the evening. this weekend was so amazing and definitely one to remember :)

cousins who are close have inseparable bonds, these four especially. kelsey, elizabeth, courtney and christina have spent countless hours playing, chatting and laughing together since they were babies. even though there are age differences between them (kelsey’s 15, elizabeth is 13, and the twins are 12), they get along great and love spending time together!

after snapping pictures of thatcher while babysitting one day, i was fortunate enough last night to take pictures of the whole family! keeping the dogs off each other and thatcher from eating sand made our evening quite entertaining. you make a beautiful family, kevin, joelle, thatcher and teddy! :)

t.way & AD – just dating

adrienne made her first trip to charlevoix this weekend, and nervous as she was, meeting grandpa wasn’t as bad as she had expected! the way clan loves her, and my cousin tyler is quite fond of her as well ;) playful, energetic, and far from vanilla, photographing t.way and AD was a fun ending to an exciting weekend…
