Brothers {Grand Rapids Childrens and Newborn Photographer}

I got to hang out with this sweet little newbie last week...

and this is his equally adorable and sweet big brother...

Mr. Mason {Grand Rapids, Michigan Newborn Photographer}

A couple of weeks ago I met up with this sweet couple and their new baby boy. Lindsey and I went to high school together (though she is a few years behind me) and I heard her story through mutual friends. The have been on quite the journey and you can read all about it HERE. Lindsey also happened to be Trey's nurse when he was in ICU right after he was born and when he got diagnosed with meningitis.

Here they are celebrating and loving on their sweet little baby boy.

This sweet little guy is here, and healthy. His parents have an amazing story and I'll link to it when I do their blog post. But for now, here's one sneak at this handsome guy. :)

Sigh {Grand Rapids, Michigan Newborn Photographer}

I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet little buddy not too long ago. Sigh.... he was SO sweet!

Ok so things have been CRAZY over here in the Siereveld household. Remember how I moved into our new house back in July?!? Well it just so happens that we are moving again in 2 weeks as that house has now sold. Such is the life of a builders wife...

Our house technically wasn't for sale but as my husband would say, anything is for sale. So sure enough, boxes are being packed up again (I didn't even really decorate this house or completely unpack!), and we are on the move again. This time though, instead of renting, we've purchased an old, adorable house that the kids and the dog can live in for a bit. We're so excited and I can't wait to transform this beauty into something beautiful! It's got so much character and potential!

Speaking of transformations, I've got something up my sleeve. A new project that really doesn't have anything do to with photography but it's something I've discovered I love doing.... stay tuned.

Isn't this little peanut just so sweet?? Exactly 7 days old and soooo sleepy! She was such a little model and let me pose her in all kinds of ways!

Remember this sweet couple that came in for their maternity session? Their little babe has made her debut!

I got to snuggle with her for a couple of hours. She HATED to be touched but thankfully she let me play with her a little bit. :)

For A Limited Time... {Grand Rapids Maternity & Newborn Photographer}

Here's a great way to preserve the those memories of pregnancy. Announcing for a limited time a Bump and Baby package. Receive a complementary mini maternity session (usually a 1/2 hour session) resulting in 5-10 images on a disk (with printing permission) with your prepaid purchase of a newborn package.

Contact me if you're interested in setting up one of these sessions!

Twice the Fun! {Grand Rapids Newborn Photographer}

I had two little peanuts in my studio the other day and boy were they little! Born 8 weeks early, they were in the NICU for about a month and were 6 weeks old when I had the pleasure to photograph them. Little miss liked being photographed much more than mr. man did.

Aren't they sweet?

It was so sweet that when I laid her next to her brother she would instantly smile! How fun to see the bond between the two!

Sweetness {Grand Rapids Newborn Photographer}

Check out this sweetie from a few weeks ago! Sigh, so sleepy and cuddly. It was a fantastic session with her!!

Mr. Man {Grand Rapids Newborn Photography}

What a fantastic summer it's been and I can't believe it's over already! Gibson started 1st grade yesterday and Rylee as of today is officially in DK (young 5's). I'm super behind on blogging but I'm starting to catch up on sessions so stay tuned as there are a TON of posts to come!

Meet this sweet little man. I had so much fun snuggling with him and all his baby goodness!

One of my favorites from the session. Oh he was so cozy!

Um seriously, these don't look like new parents. Can you say stunning??

*sigh* I had so much fun with your sweet little guy. Thanks for letting me photograph him!

Little Miss {Grand Rapids Newborn Photographer}

I just love me some newborn goodness! I got a chance to snuggle with this little lady not too long ago and she is just perfect! Check out this full head of hair. Every time I positioned her I had to style her hair as it was just everywhere, it was so sweet!

Just a note that I will be taking a vacation for the next little while but I will be returning to work July 25th.
