Liz & Eric { Engaged!} – Grand Rapids, Michigan

As spring and wedding season are finally here, we here at Jill Kingsbury Photography are prepping for all our upcoming events! One fast approaching wedding is Liz and Eric, two awesomely fun people that I can not wait to shoot on their wedding day. If their wedding is anything like their engagement session, I know it will be full of laughs, love, and rock star moments....

Olivia V

As I’m going through this past year’s photos, I realized how many of them I DIDN’T SHARE ON THE BLOG!!!  It’s almost criminal!  So to give you a little idea of all the wonderful people I had the pleasure of working with in 2013, here’s the lovely Olivia. I had the honor of photographing Olivia, a beautiful and sweet senior in Muskegon, on one of the warmest days on record!...

Cold Weather Photography

Here in Michigan, the weather has taken a slightly chilly turn.  Over a foot of beautiful snow has fallen in the past couple days and the temps have dropped wildly (currently 3 degrees!).  While that can make for some BEAUTIFUL snowy photographs, it can also be a little treacherous for your gear if you’re not careful.  I was asked the question today,”isn’t it a little dangerously cold for your camera...

Snow Dogs

Niki & Kevin

Wedding season is finally calming down a little and summer is coming to an end. So how should we celebrate? A lovely warm session from one of the last summer days of 2012! Niki & Kevin’s engagement session started out cool, but summer definitely gave us one last hurrah as we walked the streets of downtown Grand Rapids. I knew from the minute I heard of their love of craft...

Wedding Album Lovin’

I have to admit, I get just as excited as my clients when I order their wedding album.  I check the order daily, is it finished?  Then the tracking number, it’s on the truck coming from Ohio, one more day!  Then the knock on the door, a present from UPS!  And yes, it’s like my own little present, if only for the brief amount of time I have it in...
