Karyn May Photography bio picture

About

Hi, we are Karyn and Joe May and we photograph with love! :)

Our journey together began about 14 yrs ago, we met by chance, we've loved, laughed, and grown. We are an extension of each other and are both unique in our own ways. To us photography is an art of observation, it's a way of feeling, of touching and of loving.. it remembers little details long after you have forgotten everything. life is a true gift, every relationship and bond has meaning and beauty is everywhere! Our goal is to share our love for photography through images you can cherish for a lifetime. 

Thanks for stopping by. :)

Kmay & Joe

Joanna & Patrick | Engagement Session | Karyn May Photography | Grand Rapids, MI Engagement Photographers

2013 wedding season is in full swing which means a packed calendar of shooting, lots of late night editing and many trips to Starbucks and Biggby. :) We truly are extremely excited for all of the awesome weddings and wonderful couples we get to work with this year, we got some stunners and can’t wait to share all of the prettiness!! We are also starting to book up for 2014 so if your interested in booking with us we would love to chat with you!

Ok. So onto one our fabulous 2013 couples! Meet Joanna & Patrick. These two are so great! They currently live in Washington DC but are planning a beautiful wedding here in Grand Rapids this summer and we cannot wait to share in their special day. We started the session downtown as they wanted to have the city feel and I just love what we got. We then headed to East Grand Rapids and shot around the beautiful Reeds Lake. Joanna is from EGR so it was the perfect spot for us to shoot as it holds many fond memories for her. We seriously had a great time hanging out with these two, they are a fun loving couple that love to laugh. Their love is truly something unique and it definitely shows in their images.

You guys are amazing! We had a blast working with you guys! Enjoy your preview!

xoxo

Kenzie | Senior Session | Karyn May Photography | Grand Rapids, MI Senior Portrait Photographers

Senior sessions…. I love, love, love them! And I loved this one! Nothing like a perfect senior session to start off the year right! Meet Kenzie. She is such an adorable girl with such a sweet demeanor. I was totally psyched when she showed up all smiles with a car load of clothing. :) We started this session on location… it was FREEZING but Kenzie was completely awesome the entire time and was so willing to do whatever we asked-loved that! Part two of the session was much warmer as we shot in our studio which I’m sure Kenzie appreciated… even though she did not complain once about the FREEZING temps (It was seriously WAY COLD!) so thank you Kenzie for being so Fabulous!! You totally made our job so easy!

It was really hard for me to narrow this post down so there lots of extra pretty pictures! Enjoy the your preview… the rest are coming soon! :)

Loved her bright orange coat! It was the perfect pop of color for a winter session.
