The Carlson Family | Kelly Braman family and lifestyle photography | Grand Rapids, MI, Chicago, Traverse City, Saugatuck

Meet the Carlson Family. Jamie , Kristen and sweet little Asher were so fun to photograph! Kristen (and Jamie 😉 are talented photographers and friends and I have known them for many years now. They recently moved to California where Jamie took an Amazing position at Tesla Motors. How awesome is that?! Kristen wanted a fun and fabulous photo shoot to document their move and Big Adventure out West! Hey Gorgeous Events created some fun props and created the most beautiful bouquet you ever did see! Fancy Frey was on hand with a vintage tandem bicycle too! Thanks, guys! They went out in style!

 

We headed to the lakeshore for a beach session to signify their new home in Cali that will be full of water, waves, love and laughter! I am soo incredibly happy for this sweet family and know their new journey together will be Amazing!  They will no doubt miss Michigan, but they have so many friends they have made here I know I will see them again! Besides…I am already of dreaming of a time that I can sneak to San Fran for a visit! How fun would that be?!

 

Jamie and Kristen…thank you for allowing me to document your sweet family.  A beach session with a toddler is always interesting to say the least 😉  but Asher (full of curiosity and wonder) was so sweet! I hope you look back on these images with fondness of your time in MI and know we all miss you already! I look forward to seeing  how your life unfolds in the next chapter!

 

love and blessings,

kellyb.
