West Michigan Family Photographer - The Lakeshore

So I head off towards the Lakeshore. Th e air is warm and the sun is shining. What a perfect night for a photo shoot! I arrive at the McCormick's home, or what I think is the McCormicks - having never met the people before, but having conversed through email I was pretty sure I was in the right place. So I remain in the car a little to see if someone emerges from the house. I can be an extrovert, but only in certain situations and this was not one of them. Thankfully shortly after I arrived, Brian (the dad) came out of the house to take the trash out. With a smile on his face he greeted me and told me to head on in to see Sara and meet the kids. What a wonderful welcome! At this point, I knew it was going to be a good night.

As I head in to see Sara, she is all excited and her sweet spirit exudes kindness. The kids came downstairs shortly after Sara and I talked about possible props and locations around their beautiful home and it was a pleasure to meet them. We then all headed outside for a night full of fun, giggles, and lots of moving around. :)

And as I soon discovered, Max was the most energetic of the bunch. I loved his spirit and he had some great ideas - and some were just for fun.

After some of everyone, we took a few of just the kids.

And then we headed to the front of the house.

Thank you so much McCormick's for such a wonderful evening! I felt very welcome and it is always a pleasure to meet such a wonderful, fun-loving family.
