Taylor is Two! | Grand Rapids Lifestyle Photographer

Amy had contacted me awhile back about doing pictures of her daughter, Taylor, for her second birthday. I have been shooting Taylor since she was itty bitty, and we've always done something different.

This time was no exception.

Amy and her husband bought a new home on the other side of town, but their old one still had a lot of personal and sentimental value. It was their first home they had ever bought together - and it was the home they lived in when they first brought Taylor home from the hospital. So, we decided that their old house would be the perfect spot for photos.

Instead of studio shots, we went for lifestyle portraits, with Taylor having fun in her old living room near the fire place, in her old bedroom, and in her mom and dad's old bathtub.

This was such a fun shoot for me because it was so different. Their home was an old Victorian home, designated an official historic home in the city of Grand Rapids. The wood is beautiful, and the inside of the home is incredible. It's amazing the kind of detail that went into homes when they were being built so many years ago...it's too bad that people don't seem to have the same desire for "attention to detail" when building these days as they did back then.

Thanks again, Amy! I had fun. Enjoy your sneak peek. :)
