  • Welcome to Kelly Braman Photography

Oh, goodness! Meet the Boersma Family! You are going to LOVE this post! It’s filled with love, laughter, 10 grand babies, a nana & papa who could pass for the children’s parents and a home on the water that is too beautiful for words.

I met up with the Boersma’s on a warm summer night at their new home in Spring Lake. They are always so warm and welcoming and I have grown to know and love their entire family! Watching all of the children grow from year to year is so fun and to see their little personalities shine is the best! I brought along my friend and 2nd photographer, Selena, as this year Julie asked for a large family photo…it’s not small feat getting everyone wrangled for this photo, but promises of story time and playing in the miniature replica of the main house were just enough incentive for the little ones:)

Julie and Drew…thank you for trusting me with your memories and your family! I love your new home and have no doubt you will make so many memories there with the grandchildren and your own children! Your love for your family is apparent and I love documenting your time together!

 

love and blessings,

kellyb.

Wtihout further ado: The Boersma’s!

Oh how I adore this couple! Brie and I chatted wedding details and I instantly knew we were a perfect fit. She described farm house tables, clear top tent and a venue at Sunset Cove( a bed and breakfast) by a lake. (ps. the inn keepers are the NICEST couple you ever did meet!) Throw in the sweetest and most thoughtful couple and did I mention the bride wore red lipstick????? Yup! I was in heaven!   I almost forgot, but not sure how…they also had custom smores boxes and an ICE CREAM TRUCK! I think that is worth shouting about! LOL I LOVE details and not one was overlooked!   You will see from the imagery that this couple is fun-loving, beautiful, playful and the day was surrounded by their closest friends and family. Their wedding day coudn’t have been more perfect!  I just love my couples! Ben and Brie! I hope St. Lucia was Beautiful! Enjoy your wedding preview! I am INLOVE with what I captured for you! blessings, kellyb.   Stay tuned for Erik and Rebecca’s wedding preview next week!

    Bruna Camargo - Hi Kelly! Might you be able to tell me where this couple rented this lovely tent and farm tables? I’m looking into getting married at Sunset Cove myself. I’d really appreciate any kind of information. Thanks so much!ReplyCancel

Oh, this family is so sweet! These sweeties have been my neighbors since we moved to Greenville and I have so many fond memories of the girls playing with my boys even though they were a little older they always included them and loved on little Charlieb. I know the Bosanics will remember The endless Ranger Rides:)ha

I met up with this adorable family at our family property and they brought their baby dog, Lenny! I always encourage families to include their fur babies if possible and Lenny did so great! You will see from the images that we were blessed with pretty light, tons of love and laughter and Lenny made his debut:)

Bosanic Family…thank you for spending the evening with me! I had so much fun laughing with you and documenting your family!   Lynne & George… your girls are beyond beautiful inside out and I couldn’t stop smiling at the photos of  you two sweeties together! You have a blessed family and I hope you cherish these forever memories!

 

blessings, kellyb.  Untitled_1472Untitled_1473Untitled_1474Untitled_1475Untitled_1476Untitled_1477Untitled_1478Untitled_1479

Meet the Mc Connell Family! I have known Luke since 8th grade and could not have been happier to finally meet his sweet wife, Rose and his little babes! Aren’t they just the cutest! They just welcomed their newest addition, baby Leah Rose and her big brothers, Aidan and Lukie ADORE her! You will see from the images how fun and full of life this family is! I adore boys and their bond and then add in a little bit of sweetness from baby sister, Leah= pure happiness for this family!

 

Luke and Rose…thank you for trusting me with your memories! I enjoyed spending time with your family and documenting your love and laughter! I pray you are continually blessed and cherish these images as they truly do grow so fast. I hope to see you all again soon!Untitled_1454
