What a delight it was to run into Debbie Mellein at the South Haven Art Fair, back in July. My husband and I graduated a year ahead of her daughter, in Allegan. I played volleyball with Jen and always loved being around her genuinely contagious happy vibes. 20 some years later and she’s even more beautiful. The Mellein’s now live in South Haven, while their kids are spread out around the states. I can imagine how excited mom and dad Mellein are to have all three of their kids and their families in the same place, at the same time. The Lake Michigan shoreline held up its part of the session by giving us an amazing backdrop, as always.

Thank you Debbie & John Mellein for hiring BDE Photography | Raecale Stull to capture your family in time, for you.

Family | Joseph {Gull Lake, MI}

This beautiful family invited me to join them on Gull Lake for a family shoot. Growing up in Allegan, I only ventured over to Gull Lake when I competed against Gull Lake athletes in Volleyball and Track. I’d never actually visited the Lake, itself. Wow! Gull Lake is an amazingly minty green color. It made for a wonderful backdrop for this great family’s session. Could these kids be any cuter? Seriously.

Family | Bell {Caledonia, MI}

Being back in Michigan has plenty of perks. One, being able to be around so much family. And Two, finally being able to take family photos of them. This is my sister, Sadie, and her cute little family in Caledonia.

Family Portraits | Bachert {South Haven, MI}

What a warm wonderful family, I met in South Haven, yesterday. And they are 7, just like my family. Beautiful, well behaved, and intellectual are more words I would use to describe them. I love the different textures and designs of their dresses. Simple, yet elegant beachwear made for a wonderful collage of images for them to remember this family trip of theirs.

Thank you for inviting me to capture this quick moment in time for you!

Family | Ellis

Recently I’ve met this very enthusiastic happy family of five. They are returning from across the states and making Cache Valley their home, again. We’re very excited to have them back, especially because they are buying our home! We are overwhelmed with excitement to be turning the keys over to these guys, come December.

When I directed them to meet me at the mouth of Green Canyon, I wasn’t sure if they knew how to get there. Come to find out their first date, years ago, was up Green Canyon. Not only that, but he also proposed to her here. So yeah, they knew how to get there.
