The Journal

Ted & Kate – Wedding | Karyn May Photography | Grand Rapids, MI Wedding Photographer

They kept a journal together since they started dating on February 14, 2009. It’s a record of their love and their letters to one another full of their hopes and prayers for the future, as well as many other little inside jokes. Now, how sweet is that?! That’s just a small fraction of how adorable this couple truly is. Everything about this wedding had meaning or importance. From Kate’s hometown church where her father is the pastor down to the smallest favor. I loved how Ted and Kate put so much thought into every last detail, it truly showed!

Thank you Ted and Kate for sharing your day with us, we wish you a lifetime of happiness! 🙂

Baby Tyler – Kids | Karyn May Photography | Grand Rapids, MI Childrens Photographer

Today Joe and I had the pleasure of spending our morning with this sweet little boy, isn’t he just the cutest. Meet Tyler. 🙂 This little guy is the perfect blend of his parents. He belongs to some dear friends of ours, Sky and Ashley… we go way back. Their wedding was actually the first wedding I’ve ever photographed! Thanks for having faith in me guys..! 🙂 So when Sky and Ashley contacted us to photograph Tyler’s 6 month old pictures, I was sooo excited.

Congratulations you two! Tyler is an absolute doll, you are truly blessed. 🙂

The Clarks – Family | Karyn May Photography | Grand Rapids, MI Family Photographer

Meet the Clark Family. 🙂 It’s always such a honor when I’m asked to photograph a family. I’ve known Kristen for many years now. I first photographed her kids when they were brand new so I was totally psyched when Kristen wanted to schedule a Family Session because I haven’t seen her boys since they were little. She’s a busy Mom working full time as a Data Network Engineer at the Communications Company I work for while raising two sweet little boys, William and Cooper.. she definitely has her hands full! So, it’s a good thing she has a pretty amazing husband, Eric to help with the juggling act.

And, I always like to make each session unique and personal to each individual client so I tell them to bring any thing that has meaning or importance with them. I just loved all the things Kristen brought. You’ll see..so fun! 🙂

We started at the studio, this was the first shot of the day… they were all smiles and ready to go, I loved it!
