KARA HANES

I live and work in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and I love photographing weddings across West Michigan, Detroit, and Chicago. My couples value genuine connection, joyful moments, and timeless storytelling through photography.

Hi, I'm KARA.

Hi there! Welcome to the blog, a journal about our photography, love stories, seniors, education, and more. Stay a while and say hello!

Seniors

Aidan and Lydia’s | Twin Senior Photos | Holland

Seniors from Caledonia High School, Aidan and Lydia Sowerby met up with me in downtown Holland Michigan where we explored the little shop entrances, Centennial park, Verplank Loading Dock, and lake Michigan.

Lydia is involved in tennis, orchestra, national honor society, student council, tutoring, and Amby/mentoring. She loves Taylor Swift music, mashed potatoes (same girl, same) and swedish fish candy. After high school she plans on attending a university she thinks that maybe she would go into forensic nursing or do something with math or science. 

Aidan can be found in Men’s varsity tennis, orchestra, student council, LEGION (a mentorship program for Middle school students), and National Honor Society. At the moment he’s not sure what the future hold as he’s exploring options but he want to attend college for certain.

Both of them have multiple differences but equally the sweetest and most fun. It’s evident in their activities that they care for others and I’m honored to have them both on my senior representative team. If you’re ever interested in knowing more feel free to check out my seniors page to find out how you can book a session under a senior rep!
