Grand Mere State Park Family Adventure Photos | Southwest Michigan Family Photography | The Paddock Family

You may have heard us say it before, and we’ll probably say it 1001 more times, but we love our job! We get to share in the best moments … beautiful memories that when times get tough, people can look back on, and remember those moments … We are so thankful for that opportunity!

Not to mention … meeting special families like this one! This beautiful momma and her hubby both work at Andrews University, and when she contacted me for a little family adventure in the southwest Michigan area, I knew Grand Mere State Park was the place to go! Although a little gloomy, we had the best adventure together! And their sweet little dude was such a trooper too! He’s taking his first steps and what a joy it was to watch his parents take in that moment! Seriously. Thankful. Always to share in these memories.

It’s amazing that we get to meet the kindest people doing the thing we love most … and that this “job”, doesn’t feel like a job at all.
