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.

Back behind the lens!

I’m very excited to be back behind the lens and residing in Southwest Michigan, until October. My husband and I sold our 40 foot GM buffalo bus in April, remotely from Florida and bought a cute little ’77 Volkswagen Bus! It makes me happy! We’re are now in Michigan, staying with family for the extended summer months. For the last few weeks we’ve been here, we’ve worked around the clock to turn our little Kombi into a modern day Photo Booth to rent to brides and grooms, corporate event planners, and everybody else throwing a party. Check out our business website (still building) if you’d like and contact me if you’re interested in our booth!

Family | Bingham

Here it is October, and I had another chance to meet up with the Bingham family and capture images of them.

Little Miss Jazlyn is 6 months old now, and cuter than ever.

Family | Bradbury

I met this lovely family, just by chance, when their original photographer had an emergency come up. The clock was ticking and one of their sons had to catch a plane in SLC, later that evening. I jumped in my car as soon as she contacted me by phone and drove to Mantua. The Bradbury’s family photo session was back on track.
