Genevieve McKeiver Photography Blog bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

Everyone says that things happen for a reason, and for a long time I didn't believe it until last year.  I was interviewing for new jobs, but I wasn't having any luck.  I always dreamed of becoming a photographer, but I was doubtful of my ability.  Through encouragement of my family and friends I decided there was no better time to follow my dream.   So I took the plunge and in the fall of 2008 launched Genevieve McKeiver Photography.  I have a passion for what I do and am excited for the things that are to come.

Katie & Shane Engagement Session

I was really excited when Katie said that she wanted to do their engagement session in the winter since they will be getting married this July.  I love winter sessions, the snow is so pretty and colors really pop against the white background.  So when I woke up last Wednesday morning, I was very happy to see that it was a gorgeous, sunny morning, perfect for a winter engagement session. Well we had plenty of white stuff to work with, it pretty much snowed the entire time!  We started out at Ada Covered Bridge and then headed downtown to finish off the session.  The snow kept coming, but Katie and Shane were awesome the whole time.  You can tell these two have a lot of fun together, they made the session so easy!  Can’t wait for their outdoor wedding this summer, it’s going to be beautiful!!

They are one awesome couple. I made them climb all over these rocks just to get these great shots! Thanks guys for being so adventurous!!

Jillian Baby Session

My poor blog has been ignored for the last few weeks.  I have been busy doing so many things that I just haven’t been keeping up with blogging.  But I think this post will make up for my absence.

Meet little Jillian.  You saw pictures of her a couple months ago from when she was born, but I finally had the opportunity yesterday to do a full session.    Jillian was a perfect model, making the cutest faces!  I love this first picture, I call it her senior picture pose.  Thank you Joe and Holly for the opportunity to photograph little Jilly Bean!

It’s exhausting being a model

Little Peanuts

I just wanted to post this quick picture of the adorable Ellery and Reece.  I took some pictures of their whole family last month and this picture was just too cute to not share.  I love seeing the interactions between brothers and sisters, because you know in a couple years, they won’t be this nice to eachother :)

Dog Days of Winter

It’s been a while since I have posted some pictures of my dogs so I thought it was about time.  After taking their naps we went outside to play in the snow, or as Drake did, to lay in the snow.  As cold as it was, all he wanted to do was bury his head in the snow and relax!  As usual Abby ran around chasing her tennis ball and bringing it back to me to throw, she is a little obsessed with playing catch.  As much as I love watching them play in the snow, I am looking forward to spring and warm weather.

Drake is not a fan of getting his picture taken, so I was surprised that he actually looked at the camera!

Emily & Brian Engagement

Just after Christmas I drove down to Kalamazoo to meet up with Emily and Brian for their winter engagement session.  I was really excited to hear Emily’s plans for the session.  She wanted to go sledding, which is something that I have wanted to do with a couple for a while.  So after treking around downtown, we headed to a great sledding hill at a local school.  It was quite comical to watch Emily struggle to walk on the hill in 4 in heels! I mean doesn’t every girl go sledding in 4in heeled boots :)   Despite the very windy and cold day we had a lot of fun around Kalamazoo.  Thanks guys for a fun afternoon, I’m looking forward to your beautiful Lansing wedding later this summer!
