Boca Raton - Family Trip !!!

Boca Raton, FL 1.22 – 1.25.07 | All I can say is what an amazing weekend we had in Florida with our extended family! First off, I absolutely LOVE my family so much and we have such a blast when we are all together. While we were in Boca Raton, we stayed at the beautiful Boca Raton Beach Resort (www.bocaresort.com). This resort had amazing Mediterranean architecture and style, which we found fascinating as we walked around the property. Ben could have spent the entire time taking pictures! I won’t go into great detail of all the activities, but one of the best parts of the trip was getting to see an amazing movie that has not yet been released to the public called “Amazing Grace” (http://www.amazinggracemovie.com/). The movie premiers in theaters across the country on Friday, February 23rd and everyone needs to see it! We also had a wonderful time being beach bums and swimming in the ocean with all of our crazy cousins! The last night we were there was spent on a beautiful boat cruising up the inter-coastal of Florida! It was such a great time to have all 50 of us together in one spot enjoying one another’s company! We have posted a few pictures from the trip – we hope you enjoy!

(all of the guys in our family were obsessed with these cars - we weren't allowed to take pictures of them, but ben snapped one as we left the hotel - I guess there was a couple million dollars worth of cars sitting right outside of our hotel! we wish we could of had a test drive!!!)

Fun Weekend!

Grand Rapids, MI 1.22.07 | We had a great relaxing weekend hanging out with friends, sleeping in, eating great food, and working on a small amount of photography work! On Sunday, we went around GR photographing some neat locations for Ben's upcoming art critiques as well as possible locations for wedding shots. I wanted to post a few since they are such cool pictures - at least I think so! As you can see – we have lots of snow in Michigan!

We will be around the office until Wednesday and then we will be heading down to sunny Florida for a few days to be with family so if you need anything let us know by Wednesday! Have a great week!

Adam & Katie

Grand Rapids, MI 1.13.07 | We had a great engagement shoot yesterday with Adam and Katie in downtown Grand Rapids. Even though it was freezing outside ... we were able to get some great shots! Thanks guys for being such great sports, as we had you all over the place! Enjoy a few of the pics!

Anniversary Trip to Toronto!

Toronto, Canada, 12.30.06 – 1.3.07 | What an amazing year this truly has been – we feel so blessed. We continue to learn so much about one another ... it truly has been an amazing journey. God truly has blessed our marriage, business and family this past year and I will forever be thankful to Him.
For our one year anniversary, Ben planned a wonderful trip to the city of Toronto! Neither of us had really been there before so it was an exciting few days. We had such a blast ... here’s a quick breakdown of what we did. We stayed at the beautiful Fairmont Royal York, which was in the heart of the city so we were only steps away from all the action. We packed our days with fun-filled activities such as Second City Comedy, The Blue Man Group, Niagara Falls, CN Tower, shopping and lots and lots of food!!!! Our New Years was spent out in the rain with thousands of other people at a park downtown Toronto. Even though the weather was awful, we had a great time ringing in the new year Canadian style! We hope everyone had a wonderful New Years and may the Lord bless you this upcoming year. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

(for New Years we ate dinner at the top of the CN Tower - the restaurant rotates 360 degrees so you get a view of the entire city - it was amazing!)

(Ben got a fancy dessert - yummy!)

(HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!)
