Attention, holiday shoppers! I had the privilege of photographing Rachelle and her amazing art a few months ago, and you absolutely need to check out her work. Her Etsy shop has just been stocked with prints, mugs, and t-shirts featuring her oh-so-phenomenal anatomy drawings. You'll also be able to meet her and shop in person at several artist markets this holiday season (including Show of Hands Chicago with my favorite pal Steph Balog of Bad At Math Knits!).
It's hard to put into words how much I loved this session. We had so much fun on our mini-tour of the city (and the squirrels were so friendly, you would have thought we were on the Calvin campus).
I had been looking forward to this session since Allyson and I got it on the calendar, and it was every bit as fun and lovely as I hoped it would be.
Even though the color around Grand Rapids has been slow to change, we were lucky to find a few peeks of autumn on our walk. Aaron and Laura (and their adorable kids!) were so sweet and kind, and the entire morning was just so, so delightful.
One of the perils in scheduling outdoor photos well in advance is that you have no idea what the forecast will look like when your shoot finally rolls around, which is precisely the dilemma that Sarah and I faced as her family's session approached. The forecast looked miserable, and when Saturday arrived with persistent morning showers, I assumed we'd be falling back on our rain date. But the skies cleared and our cautious optimism was rewarded with a perfect fall afternoon in downtown Allegan. (Pure Michigan, indeed.)
