Seniors

Senior Session at the Thornapple River

Myles’ senior session at the Thornapple River in Grand Rapids, MI, featured the dam in the background, adding a striking element to the photos. The late afternoon sun cast a warm glow over the water as we walked along Leslie E. Tassell Park. The sound of the river flowed nearby, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Each shot captured Myles’ genuine smile, making it a memorable moment in their life. The combination of the dam and the natural surroundings provided a unique backdrop for this significant milestone.

Gotta get a photo with mom!

Myles you are in the home stretch. Almost over with high school and then the world is are your fingertips. I hope you enjoy these next few months you have left! – Kara
