Seniors

Grand Rapids Senior Girl Session

I’m not going to lie—getting around Grand Rapids yesterday was a real struggle due to all the construction. But we weren’t going to let that get us down. For this senior session, we wanted to have fun. Our adventure started at the Civic Theatre, then we went to the Gerald R. Ford Museum, and to wrap up, we visited Aquinas College for photos.

We were pushing it with the sunset approaching, so we had to move fast. We hadn’t anticipated so much driving, but with the construction, there was no other choice. Lauren was fantastic, and we had a blast. We managed to get all the outfits she wanted in a short amount of time. It turned out to be such a perfect night!

Lauren, have the best year ever! – Kara
