Child Portrait Session - Ada, Michigan - Morgan Anderson

Hello!  This past weekend I had the privilege to do Morgan's portraits in Ada Park.  The weather was great, and we had so much fun!  Morgan is participating in a pageant next month and will be submitting a photo in a formal and casual outfit for the optional "most photogenic" portion of her pageant.  I think her chances of winning that are pretty good, don't you?! :) She is a beautiful girl!

Wedding Photography Session - Grand Rapids, MI - Jessica & Mike

Jessica & Mike's wedding this past Saturday was simply BEAUTIFUL! I had such an amazing time with them, their wedding party and family, photographing their day. Jessica looked stunning and Mike very handsome! They are the SWEETEST couple and I have loved -every- moment I've spent working with them. Also, couldn't have asked for better weather! It was an awesome day from start to finish! 

Their wedding took place at Ivanrest Christian Reformed Church in Grandville, and the reception was located at John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids, MI.  Both venues, along with the gorgeous Mill Race Park in Grandville for first sighting photos, made for amazing photo shoot locations.  The trees were full, the sun was warm, and the day was refreshingly cool.  It really was the best combination of all good things for a beautiful couple and their special day.

 Stay tuned for some sneak peeks of their big wedding day in the next week!

Portrait Wall Displays - tips, examples & more! - Rockford, MI

Hey everyone! I'd like to get your wonderfully helpful opinion on something!

Can you help me out?  Comment on this post and let me know if you have a preference...

Many times the style & decor we have in and around our home influence the kind of mounting option we choose for our portraits. Sometimes it is independent of that and simply has to do with our own taste in products & displays. MANY times it's a combination of both! 

It's important to choose a mounting/product displays based on how it best meshes with the environment we've created in our home.  This includes selecting the right color frame (unless choosing a canvas wrap).  

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here are some helpful tips for choosing the right Portrait Wall Display 

• Canvas Wraps are a great choice if you prefer your portrait to fit into any space, regardless of the color of your walls or the decor around the room in which it's displayed.  They are classic!
• Organic Bloom Frames add a touch of pure elegance to any room! These frames work well in almost any space, but shine the most when you select colors that work with the room it's in! If you are an interior decorator at heart (like I am), then you will fall in love with these frames. You can have some crazy fun choosing colors and bringing out that color all throughout the room with these babies.
• Traditional Frames can add just as much style to a room as you want it to.  They look fantastic in any space, but especially in more neutral or even rustic-styled environments.  There is almost no place these won't fit in!

 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Just in case you don't already know, I offer a complimentary Design & Ordering consultation with every Portrait & Wedding Session booked.  That means I will assist you with finding the perfect arrangement of portraits for your wall space.  My goal is to ensure you not only have incredible portraits at the end of every session with me, but that you ALSO have a beautiful way to display your new treasures so you can start enjoying them right away!!

 Your ENTIRE session experience is meant to be a fun & non-stressful one, and I want nothing more than to make sure it's a wonderfully memorable experience the whole way through.

Below is a wall display selection from my soon to be newly wed clients:

(1) 20x24" in between (2) 11x14's.

If you'd like to see more examples of the kind of displays I can create for you, just call (616.951.4925) or email me (christinaleskovarphotography@gmail.com). You can also check out more examples on my website!

Hope to talk with you soon & read your comments on the kind of Portrait Displays you like best! :)

Jessica & Mike's Engagement Portraits - Rockford, MI

Last weekend I had the pleasure of doing Jessica and Mike's engagement photos. We did a dual-location photo shoot (in my studio & on-location) to allow for more variety and clothing options as it was in the low 20's and snowing. I enjoyed every bit of our session together, and we made the absolute most of the weather. The snow made for such a beautiful setting!  Mike and Jessica are so cute together and they were so much fun! I absolutely love engagement sessions and getting to capture the joy, adoration, and sweet moments of a couple ready to commit their lives to each other.  

I am beyond ecstatic to get to document their Wedding Day on May 17!!!
