Dog Days of Summer – {Michigan PhoDOGrapher}

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:22:18 +0000

My neighbor, Lucy Brooks, who is owner of the most wonderful place to board your dog or even if your dog needs some ‘doggy’ daycare at Brookstone Farms, had a client who contacted me to photograph her golden retreiver and king charles springer spaniel. Although her spaniel is up in age and is having some health issues she was charming and what a mama’s little girl.
The really big focus is getting action shots of their golden juming off their dock. I know some are thinking..”okay, sounds easy”, but really it is a bit of timing, angle, lighting and LOTS OF LUCK!! I am happy to report that I believe we succeeded!

Here is a few shots from that day:)

Linden High School Senior Rachel – {Michigan Senior Photographer}

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:00:38 +0000

Again I get to make it down to Milford again to shoot a lovely lady from Linden (kinda sounds like a song ….”Lovely ole lady from Liiiinnnndddennnn!!”).
This town is just amazing..lots of character on top of really COOL shops and YUMMY bakeries and restaurants. The really amazing part of Milford is that it is down the road from me and has urban and rural feel all mixed up in one little area.
Rachel went downtown to scope it out and found alot of outfits that fit her style as well as the style of Milford perfectly. I MUST say a special thank you to her mom who was amazing at helping me as well as being a great second eye on making sure Rachel looked her best!
I really love it when the seniors bring someone with them ….. not only are they a second eye as well as may help be the “reflector” holder, but they help the Senior feel at ease and we have fun!

Rachel..here is your sneak peek!

Holly High School Senior Tomie – {Michigan Senior Photography}

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 21:06:26 +0000

It is always wonderful when I take pictures of people who I know….not really that I know Tomie until she was searching for a photographer but I know her mother. I have known her mother since elementary school. I remember like yesterday when Tomie’s mom came to school one day in 8th grade and gave us a picture of her from her own model shoot. It was a beautiful picture of her and while I was looking at Tomie through my lens the memory seemed like deja-vu.

We took Milford by storm and had a wonderful time….here is your sneak-peek Tomie:)

WHAT IS CUSTOM PHOTOGRAPHY? – {Michigan Photographer}

admin — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 16:01:53 +0000

What Is Custom Photography
The photographic art you choose to place on your wall is ultimately the result of the vision of the photographer. This vision, coupled with what you wear to your session, the environment, the lighting, even the mood the subjects are in at the time of photographing creates the work that you will want to proudly display on your walls forevermore.

Your first step in the process is more about determining who you are, who your family is and then seeking a photographer that reflects your style. For instance let’s say your family is extremely outdoorsy and loves playing on the beach. You start determining what style you like, browse through photography website portfolios and determine if any of the styles exhibited there would be a good fit with your life and family style. You have already determined that you should probably seek out a beach type photographer (that is if you live near a beach) and then begin narrowing the field down a bit.

Finally after a bit of internet research, you have narrowed it down to two photographers who do what seems like solid work, the sort of outdoor beach look you desire. It is now time to ask yourself: Do you like photographer A’s style over photographer B’s style? Is it because the people in the images of A’s style are having a great time and it seems very caught up in the moment vs. B photographer more posed, looking in the camera images? If this is a case, you probably like LIFESTYLE photography or perhaps even take it a step further and define your desired style as a PHOTOJOURNALISTIC photography style. The photographer you probably should choose is photographer A because their style is very similar to the style you desire.

What custom photography ultimately is all about is choice and experience. Custom photography is about finding someone who will photograph your family, give you devoted 1:1 attention without worry of who is next ‘in line’ or the feeling of a crowded portrait studio.

A custom photographer will typically show you a fairly extensive gallery culled to only show the good images that meet the photographers’ creative sensibilities.
Often the images are fully edited images-color corrected with blemishes and undereye circles removed.
Custom photographers are also known as boutique studios, offering a range of products and unparalleled service. Think Lexus vs. Hyundai, think Nordstrom vs. WalMart.
A custom photography experience should have you, the client and your experience in mind.

Here is a sneak peek for Kati – {Michigan Senior Photographer}

admin — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 01:51:31 +0000

What a scorcher of a day when Kati and I ventured out to Davisburg. Even at 9am we were sweating! But Kati was radient and just a joy and up to anything…even walking through the amazon-like follage to see if we can sneak onto RxR tracks. Needless to say we didn’t make it onto the tracks but we found a field of beautiful Black-eyed Susan’s and went scampering in them for some VERY BRIGHT photos!! They still didn’t hold a candle to Kati’s beauty:)

HEY BRANDON & even OXFORD SENIORS…meet up with Kati to get a great deal on wallets when referred to our studio by her!!!

2011 Linden High School Senior Sara Kennedy – {Michigan Senior Photographer}

admin — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 18:25:48 +0000

“Who is that girl behind those Coaches sunglasses??” okay that didn’t sound as good as that ‘who is that girl behind the Foster Grants’ or am I dating myself???? Anyhoo….this is Sara and one of my Senior Models that attends Linden High School {if you want to get a coupon for free wallets meet up with her!!!}, and we went down to Milford and bummed around some to do her Senior shoot.
I love it downtown there and it has ALOT of unique places to shoot at.
She went earlier in the week to scope out some places and make sure her wardrobe arsenal was good with the Milford backdrop. She had some great vision on what she wanted to wear where….say that 5 times fast:), and we have a large assortment of photos to prove it!!!
I also wanted to thank her lovely boyfriend for being an amazing schlepper and user of my reflector—you definately have a talent there!!!

Lovely little newborn Girl–rocking out the guitar!!!—{Michigan Newborn Photographer}

admin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 18:10:39 +0000

This little girl is the product of two wonderful people! They also happen to be a couple who I photographed their wedding a few years back. LOVE seeing the transition of marriage to family and being a part of documenting the evolution of life just makes me love my job SO, SO much.

It is especially fun when one parent has a passion of some sort, whether they are in the military or love art, I like to incorporate alittle bit of them in the image with the baby. So this father has a musical background and he brought is guitars….at this point in the shoot she was not up to anything but being held and fed…so getting this shot was a bit of a stretch and took some doing and really am fortunate to get anything other than a very upset baby shot!!! She is wearing her black onsies well….:)

You asked for MORE…here it is:)–{Michigan Commercial Photographer}

Shooting for this salon has been just amazing. They are so talented and trendy not to mention just really fabulous men and women. They carry only the top of the line products with Aveda for hair, coloring and makeup. They also carry some other little goodies like jewelry as handbags that are so cool! They recently added on to the studio to allow for more space as well as adding some stylists.
These girls that I photographed are wearing the most trendy hair styles and color that is up and coming on the beauty scene. If you want a change in your normal “hair-wear” then I would highly recommend going to them. You can follow them on facebook at Flaunt Salon to get in on specials they will host or events that they are hosting at the salon. There you can get their location and phone number—-which is 902 N. Leroy Fenton, MI and their phone number is 810-750-8898.
