South Haven, My Sister, and My Niece(s)
South Haven holds a special place in my heart. I’ve been “summering” there for (cough) 25 years or so now. I enjoy all of the activities (live music on Thursday nights, the blueberry festival, fly-ins, pancake breakfasts, art shows, people watching, a few Tonya Marie Photography portrait sessions, and of course the amazing beaches!), a laid back schedule, and spending time with my family.
I always look forward my sister’s visits and this year I was even more excited. She is currently living in England with her husband and beautiful daughter Miss A. My sister is also pregnant and expecting a little girl who has Downs Syndrome. You can read about her story HERE. And you can check out the rest of her adventures HERE.
So of course we had to do 2 year portraits for Miss A. And I even did a few maternity images for my sister. Feel free to leave comments below…what pregnant woman doesn’t like to hear that she looks beautiful and her daughter is adorable!?! Share the love.
Here’s one of my favorites.
This makes me laugh.
Showing off South Haven’s spectacular beaches.
“Off the beach” portraits are lovely too.
Such a great laugh!
My gorgeous, strong, and amazing sister…can’t wait until my newest niece arrives!

Gorgeous beach. Gorgeous light. Gorgeous kiddo. Gorgeous momma-to-be.

Looks just like the South Haven I remember from over 15 years ago when I lived in MI for three years.
Your sister looks lovely as does her little girl!
Pics just keep getting better and better if thats possible Dont know if thats due to Tonyas expertise or Avery getting cuter!!!
