Children’s Photography | Ionia, Michigan

February 22, 2009 | Filed Under Children's Portraiture | Leave a Comment 

We just had the privilege of doing the 6-month child portraits for little Alex. Isn’t he adorable? Six-month olds are always a little challenging for children portraits because they still haven’t developed the ability to sit-up very long and they just don’t look natural laying down on their backs, so it takes a few tricks to get them in position sometimes. As a children’s portrait photographer in Ionia, Michigan I know that sometimes these shoots can be a real challenge to get that adorable shot that the parents and other family members will treasure; but that’s part of the fun!!! Lucky for us, we found that whenever someone fake sneezed little Alex would laugh hysterically!!!

Looking for a killer band for your wedding? | Grand Rapids-area, Michigan

February 22, 2009 | Filed Under Vendors | Leave a Comment 

As a Grand Rapids area wedding photographer I’m exposed to a wide variety of different entertainment options for wedding receptions! Picking the right DJ or band is one of many crucial decisions facing a bride and groom as they hire different wedding vendors in preparation for their wedding day. It’s right up there with the other critical vendors: reception venue, caterer, wedding photographer, and florist. A poor choice for any of these vendors and your bound to be disappointed come your wedding day.

Which leads me to the point of this post; I don’t think I see enough live bands at weddings anymore. Tracy and I were just at TJ’s Sports Bar in Lowell, Michigan this weekend and had the opportunity to see the local band Cover Story perform several long sets of classic and contemporary Rock and Popular music on Saturday evening…They ABSOLUTELY ROCKED! and would be perfect for any bride and groom that wanted an absolutlely kicking wedding reception! The band members were all very amicable and extremely talented! Like I said, if you want a reception that your friends and families are going to be talking about for years to come, check these guys (and girl!) out.
