Hello, everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful summer! Michigan summers can’t be topped in my opinion! My wedding season is in full swing and I am so very excited to share this Kate Spade inspired wedding with you!

Ryan and Sarah are complete LOVES! They are the sweetest and their connection and genuine love for each other and their friends and family was so amazing to be a part of!

Sarah and I have a love for Kate Spade and for details! You will not want to miss this wedding! I was giddy photographing the sparkles and gold and navy complete with a polka dot gold and pink cake!

So many fun details and the most important: Their love for each other!!!

 

** Fun fact: Sarah and Ryan found and booked me for their wedding from Instagram! Yes! I love that! You can find me online HERE.

Hi Guys!

Can we just all acknowledge how AMAZING the weather here in Michigan is today????? The sunshine does wonders for me!!!

I am SO excited to share this senior session with you! This is my new intern, Aubry! She is actually a senior THIS year, but it still counts 😉 and I couldn’t love the session more!

A flirty pastel colored skirt, polka dots and vintage camera paired with beautiful sunlight? Yes, please!  ps. Aubry is Gorgeous and we had THE.BEST.TIME!!!!

We drove over to Ada to shoot this senior session and loved it more than we thought! We ended the session at her property and I made her put on that adorable gingham top! I am such a sucker for GINGHAM! Are you too? Isn’t

her pup, Hodgie, the cutest? I loved incorporating seniors favorite things into their senior session!

Take a peek! I honestly could have chose 100 more! Just LOVE!

Enjoy!

love and blessings,

Hi Guys!

This is a new weekly post that you can either skip over or search for them in the search tab:)I would love suggestions as to what to call this little video about faith and prayer each week! Please leave suggestions below!:)

God has been stirring some thigns inside my heart and to be completely honest…I have been too afraid to step out in fear of not having a complete plan for these posts. I just know He keeps calling me to VIDEO blog and these days hiding behind the camera feels so much safer! Eek!

So…here goes. I also started a little blog last year and I felt as though that was hiding a bit too:)This is my business blog so it feels more vulneralble and more apt to be judged, ya know?

Welp…I want to grow in my faith and trust in Jesus more so here we go:)

Ask ANY and all questions below or send me a private message if you want it to be kept private. In my responses I will not state names and will honor privacy. If no one posts questions then I will pray about what to chat about 😉 ha This is not for me, but for what God wants to do through me so I am just going to jump in, ok? IT feels so akward to step out and state that I have something to even share with you? I don’t know what the heck I am doing most days so who am I to share with you? That is why I wasn’t going to post this, but it’s also the very reason I am posting today. It’s NOT about me at all. I am going to be obedient and trust that God has a plan. We are all called to help one another on our walk with Jesus and God is calling me deeper still to look to Him in uncomfortable callings and cling to His truth above my own fear. This sounds so silly as it’s just a blog post, but It feels so uncomfortable putting myself out there. I LOVE one on ones with others and God brings so many people into my life to help them see His truth and love so this is a little step into deeper waters for me.

I would love your prayers and again…this can be photography, faith, parenting, marriage related. We can pray together and help eachother along the way!

Boldly Stepping out (for me:) and Scared as Heck,

kellyb.

    Alyssa - Hi Kelly! I think your work is beautiful and I’m wondering what camera and lenses you primarily use for your family photoshoots.
    Thanks for being willing to open your heart and also share your knowledge with us!ReplyCancel

      kelly braman - Hello, Alyssa!

      Great to hear from you! I use Canon only. My camera body is the Mark 111 and I love prime lenses. My favorites are the 35mm 1.4L and the 85mm 1.8. I also have the 24-105 and the 135, but I always use the 35mm for everything :) Hope that helps!ReplyCancel

Hello, Everyone!

I seriously have THE.VERY.BEST.CLIENTS!!!! I wanted to share a little slideshow of all of the memories we shared and I had the privilege of documenting! Thank you to all of my couples for trusting me with your memories!

I pray your new year ahead is full of Love and Blessings!

love,
kellyb.

ps. I could not have done this without so many loved and trusted vendors and friends. And of course, the sweet Selena! Muah!

This one is an ultimate favorite of mine. I love aromatherapy and I just close my eyes in the shower and pretend to be at the spa! A girl can dream, right?

 

I just ordered our family this and have not tried it just yet! I LOVE concept and you can’t beat the price! I am super expectant that this will be great for our family! I am pretty sure my boys will be eye rolling with this one, but that’s ok 😉

 

My husband and boys purchased This for me. I LOVE to play worship music during the day and this has the perfect quality sound! I was really surprised! Love it! They did their homework on this one! We typically like Bose, but this was a great price and quality is super great!

 

Although I did not receive any of these products this year…they will forever be on my list of favorites! I love to gift these to friends and I will have to pick up a few things for myself 😉 Hey! My birthday is next month so its totally justified!:)ha

 

ANYTHING from this store! This is their FB page as their website is coming soon! I love to support and shop local so if you are in the Holland area…this store is a MUST! I popped in there yesterday and snagged a few goodies for myself! I want Spring to design my bedroom!!!!!! ps. BRIDES…Spring Sweet now has Bridal Dresses! You do not want to miss this shop!

 

Ok…two from this favorite store! My girlfriend, Karyn, turned me on to this super soft and adorable shirt! (psst…it’s super on sale right now! )

I also stock up BIG TIME on these! I take them with me on vacation and I might have a little problem as I am worried they might discontinue the scent! My personal favorite is the whipped cream and pear! SO many compliments when people come over! Don’t buy too many as I need more! hahah

 

ok…so that’s my little list right now! I would love to hear if you like something fun too!

 

xoxo
