Amanda wasn’t sure about him at first. Who was this guy their parents tried to set her up with? After a couple of drinks around the campfire, Amanda decided to call it a night. Later that year she met Chris again at Grand Valley State and something changed. She saw his sweet side and his charm. Chris asked her out and the rest was history. Amanda was hooked. Chris proposed after graduation at the sleeping bear dunes and I can’t wait for their wedding next summer!

Chris and Amanda wanted to do their session at their families cottages in Baldwin, MI. A day on the lake filled with sun and fun? I was totally in. It proved to be an amazing backdrop.

I also fell in love with their dogs…

Meet Tucker and Abby.

And Miss Maizy.

I love these two together. Many thanks to Amanda and Chris and Amanda’s amazing parents for the boat ride after the session!

My mom tagged along because she was in town for the weekend. I think she enjoyed the boat ride the most.
