Seniors

Jack Moseler

I think we were 5 pictures in when I suddenly said, “Oh my gosh, I can’t believe Jack is a senior”. Ben and I met The Moseler family just over 12 years ago when we were pregnant with our oldest son. With what seemed like a short time all of a sudden hit me in an instant.

Jack attends Black River High School in Holland so we decided to explore a little bit of Zeeland, Holland, and then some in Grand Rapids with the whole family (which you’ll see more of later next week in a blog post). Some of the places we visited were Bennet Wood Specialties, Verplank Loading Doc and then in Grand Rapids we took it back to where I took their family photos years ago (It has changed a lot by the way. Take a peek of what the yellow rusty staircase looked like 9 years ago).

Jack you have amazed me over these 12 years I’ve known you. I know you’ll do great things in your life and I pray that you are never be afraid of knowing who you are. Here’s to your last year in high school!

Disclaimer: Verplank Loading Dock is no longer a viable location option due to their request for privacy. Photographers are no longer able to take their clients there.
