Sometimes, the best moments come in small doses—and McKenna and Kole’s fall mini session was the perfect example of that. We only had 20 minutes to work with, but in that short amount of time, we created some truly special memories in the heart of Kalamazoo, Michigan. The crisp fall air, the vibrant leaves turning gold and orange, and most importantly, the undeniable love between McKenna and Kole made every second count!

Their love for each other was so effortless and so natural. From the moment they stepped in front of the camera, I could tell their relationship was built on something truly special—love, patience, selflessness, and most importantly Christ.

As we walked through the preserve, the fall leaves crunched beneath our feet and the sun cast a soft glow over everything. I didn’t have to give them many directions; they were so in tune with each other that the moments just unfolded naturally. Whether it was a gentle touch, a shared smile, or a quiet glance, McKenna and Kole had this way of making even the simplest moments feel meaningful. They laughed together, talked about their favorite memories, and it was clear just how deeply they care for one another.

In just 20 minutes, we captured so much: candid laughs, moments of quiet tenderness, and some of those perfect “in-between” shots that you can never plan. It was one of those sessions where every click of the camera felt like a beautiful story unfolding in real time.

What struck me most about McKenna and Kole was the depth of their connection. Their relationship is built on selflessness and genuine care, and that energy came through in every image we created together. Their chemistry was electric, but in the most humble, warm, and kind way possible.

Even though we only had 20 minutes, I feel like we captured the essence of their relationship perfectly. It was a reminder that love doesn’t need a long time to be powerful—it just needs to be real, honest, and full of heart.

To McKenna and Kole, thank you for trusting me to document this beautiful moment in your love story. I’m so excited to see where life takes you both—and I can’t wait to capture even more memories with you in the future!
