Frequently Asked Questions
a little bit of our everyday...
Happy 12th Valentine’s Day to the only guy I ever want to celebrate with. 
We don’t typically do a big Valentine’s Day, candy and card are perfect for us. I usually cry over the cards and keep them for years to come (it may be my unofficial love language)
🤷‍♀️
Live has given us many twists and turns, surely with many more to come. Some anticipated, many unexpected. Marriage is not easy, but I’m thankful we are devoted to choosing one another daily, fighting through the hard stuff, equally celebrating the good. Thankful to share all the laughs and all the tears with you! Xoxo ....
To my fellow country music fans ❤️
“Cause love is more precious than gold,
It can't be bought, no, and it can't be sold.
I got love enough to spare,
That makes me a millionaire”
“We are living in luxury.”
When I get an idea in my head, it’s all out until I get it done. That may be a good or bad trait, yet to be decided. This would be a perfect example 🤷‍♀️, and I freaking love how they turned out! I’ll share some behind the scenes of how the kids “cooperated” to get these candids to hang on a once blank wall in our kitchen/dining area. 
If you follow on fb, apologizes for the double post. You know my social media is not at the top of it’s game folks. I’m okay with that right now, because let’s face it, I can’t do it all and I’m happily accepting and embracing that .

This day always humbles me. We have a long way to go.

We have a lot of these “across the island” conversations. This face though- the perfect mix of sweet and mischievous. He got that from his dad, for sure 😉. This year, my camera will be documenting our lives just as much as others. My kids and husband will probably be sick of it, but I’ve realized that as my passion became my career, I slowly stopped photographing our own lives as much. My phone may be full of images but I want the same gift for us that I give to other families. This is actually difficult, and sometimes feels like bringing work home. But, as I look at how quickly time is passing, i know I’ll never regret “bringing this work home.” #lifestylephotography #documemtnyourdays #athome #annarborfamily #annarborphotographer #annarborlifestylephotographer
I spent some time off social media over the holidays, and I didn’t miss it at all 😁 
On Christmas, we hopped a few planes to Puerto Rico and spent some family time in the sunshine. Soaking up the rays, swimming nonstop, visiting with friends and eating delicious food was wonderful!! But, I won’t sugarcoat it- Madeline is at the optimal age of “horrible traveler!” That little nugget was into everything and on the plane...another story 🤪🤦🏼‍♀️. I traveled with Sam so much when he was young, by the time he turned two he had already been on 30 flights (without any screen devices either, it’s possible guys ;). I seem to have forgotten my travel skills because man, sis wasn’t easy. 
Sam also had a high fever for 3 days and croup. You take the good with the bad and learn to soak in the moments. We made memories, relearned a few traveling tricks and had a few stiff drinks along the way ;) #travelingwithkids #samuelvk #madelinevk #annarborlifestylephotographer #puertorico #traveloften #rest
I’ll be honest, this season has taken us for a ride. Between mourning a grandfather’s surprise death, a revolving door of visitors, Madeline’s first birthday, work demands, and getting ready for  Christmas in general, it has been a wild month for our family. Sadly, I know this sentiment isn’t uncommon. 
Kyle and I chatted the other night and I admitted I just felt like the walking dead. He held my hand and said, “no one has it as good as us.” (Michigan football, anyone?) He is right. 
No matter the circumstances or whirlwinds that may leave us grasping for air and rest, we are still blessed beyond our wildest dreams. 
This Christmas, we will celebrate the birth of our Savior. We will laugh and have sword fights with wrapping paper holders, eat lots of sugar and hold tight to the memories we get to make with our children and family. We will choose JOY. We hold tight to the truth of the gospel, the promise delivered on Christmas morning, and we know that we have it good. We all do.
