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

James Ploeg

James and sister, Kiara are seniors at Hudsonville High School. Their mom Kerri reached out to me since I did her oldest son’s photos 4 years ago. It was great catching up with them and exploring some places in downtown Holland. I’m not sure if you can tell but the entire day called for thunderstorms. Kerri and I both watched and knew we’d have to make the decision right down to the last hour. We lucked out and were able to miss the rain. This summer I have been blessed with sibling seniors and it has been all sorts of fun to interact with each of them.
