I had the pleasure of photographing a sweet family quite early at the beach the other morning. I haven’t done many morning beach sessions, so this was a fun change! K came ready to go, full of energy! He was so cooperative though, a real pleasure to photograph! Enjoy your sneak peek!

I had the pleasure of photographing a sweet family down at the beach last night. But, um, what beach? The water level on the Big Lake is so high this year that what has been “beach” in past years is now “lake!” We did have a nice little space of sand to work and play in though, and it turned out perfect! I had such a good time with this family, Mr. W had me cracking up a few times. Never when he was in front of the lens though. He made me work for those smiles but I did get a couple out of him. Lightning McQueen is so much more interesting than that lady with the camera (and frankly, I quite agree!). Thanks again for letting me spend the evening with your family! Enjoy your sneak peek and I will be in touch soon!
Oh, and I sure am glad we stuck it out for that sunset!
Tina says: Oh wow, that sunset is gorgeous! I love mom's hair just blowing slightly in the breeze and how you can tell they are all watching the sunset. Perfect photo. on 08.6.09 @ 7:31 pm

I had a great time this evening with a fun family! They are repeat clients (love that!) so you might recognize them. J and J really wore me out, clambering up and down the dunes all evening, finding bugs, seashells, driftwood… It was a great time! I bet they are sleeping well tonight, I know I will. There are so many images I love, I had a hard time choosing for this sneak peek. Enjoy!
Thanks again, I’ll be in touch with the rest of your images soon!

I’m offering up a special, my first special EVER! How exciting!
The Scoop:
I know there are a lot of moms out there who are always the one BEHIND the camera, never in front. I know that is true in my household, I can count on one hand the number of photos I have with me and my kids. This special is for those moms! A PERFECT gift for Mother’s Day, which is coming up very soon!
The Goods:
You get a family mini session with me, 20-30 minutes long, at a location in the Grand Haven/Spring Lake area. If you have a location you want to go to, that’s great! If not, I have some suggestions. About 2 weeks after your session you will receive an online gallery with 10 proofs. As a part of this very special offer you will receive 3 of your favorite images as digital files with matching 5×7′s for reference. And mom will receive a special mini brag book, the perfect size for sticking in her purse so she can show off her beautiful family! As an added bonus, any prints ordered through Michelle Lynn Photography are available at VIP Pricing.
The Cost:
This package is valued at almost $250… But with this special it will only cost you $85! That is a savings of over 50%! Payment is required in full at the time of purchase.
The Fine Print:
I am offering this special in a gift certificate form, so you can give it to your mom, wife, or even yourself on Mother’s Day! The special will be available for purchase until May 1st, or until the 5 sessions slots are filled. Yes, there are only 5 slots!
The session dates and times will need to be scheduled and confirmed before June 15, and sessions must be completed before July 15. If these conditions are not met the session will be forfeited. A signed model release is also required with this special.
Please note this is a special offer and these prices are not available outside of this offer.
