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

Annalise Jipping Studio Senior Photos

Senior at Jenison High School, Annalise Jipping is in the final months of her high school career. With a passion for music she is still considering college options but knows that is the next step for her. For her session we met at Studio Three which is one of GR Studio’s many indoor locations to rent. It was perfect for the winters of Michigan. We laughed, reminisced of the days when she was younger and talked about her family I’ve known for many years. Annalise I can’t wait to see where your future leads you. I know you will make waves in the sea of life!
