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

Connor Orlik

To contemplate that Connor will be a senior this fall is surreal. The first time I met Connor I had just started a new job and he was a curious young four year old who called me Ms. Kara. That’s right. I had him in preschool. Later on we discovered that we attended the same church and our families became good friends. I’ve seen Connor become a young man and although I can’t believe it he’ll soon be an adult. (This is starting to make me feel old).

Connor is currently touring colleges and seeing what he’d like to pursue for college. He would love to work in some type of film industry. He loves to work behind the scenes for his school’s theatre program and currently he works at the movie theater (where he can watch all the movies he wants, amazing right?). Connor best of luck in this next year and I pray it is one to remember.
