I’m Dylan Kraayenbrink, family and couples photographer for the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. I love capturing the joy in a family, especially as my wife Nicole and I just became parents of our first son, Tucker Finn!
A pastor told me that one of a person’s greatest ministries is raising their family. That’s why I love to photograph families, because parents like yourself pour your heart and soul into your kids and your marriage.
I’m a laid-back, casual kind of guy, and our photoshoot together will be fun and relaxed too. I’m not into a lot of highly posed photos (though we can grab a few for grandma 😁); instead, I like to help families have fun so the kids can loosen up and Mom and Dad don’t have to worry about making them smile.
Just relax and enjoy our time together!

Testimonials
“We had a great photoshoot with Dylan. He was professional, quick (which is huge with little kids) and made us feel very comfortable. We laughed a lot together and he made the whole experience very fun. His disarming approach helped our kids open up and he took some of the best pictures we have of them. The final pictures are fantastic and will soon be hanging on our wall.”
“Honestly the more I look at these photos the more I love them!!!! You can literally see and feel the joy and love. We will cherish these! Thank you!!!! 💗”
-Jessica Pettrey & Chris Harris
“Our photo shoot with Dylan was super fun! He very calmly handled our 2 year old and two dogs (one being a crazy puppy). He was really flexible and changed his plans to match how they all were acting. He captured some amazing memories, and I will cherish these pictures forever! If you are looking for some professional pictures and to have a fun time while taking them, Dylan is your guy!”
