Kristen Is Our First Falcon And She Represented In Style!

by
No Comments

It’s pretty hard to believe that after basically 9 years of photographing seniors that we never photographed a Farmington Falcon!  So finally……enter Kristen!  Kristen came to us as a cousin of some former seniors of ours and we were pretty excited to keep the chain going and get some Falcon love on our blog!  Kristen was a perfect first Falcon too, so let’s get to it!

First Falcon…

Kristen had a little entourage for her session here at the studio and her lovely mom Jordon met us downtown for the location shoot at Eastern Market as well – much fun!  After a quick few shots in the studio we stopped at a park in Farmington before we headed downtown and that’s where we’ll pick up the action:

First Falcon

Nice!!!

We also have some behind the scenes fun as usual from there in a Facebook Live replay:

At this point we headed downtown and we were actually a little nervous because it rained on the way down – it was NOT supposed to!  But we lucked out – the weather held once we got down there and we were able to get some great shots.  Not to mention an overcast sky can really work to your advantage anyway because the light is nice and diffused.

First Falcon

Love that…

Here’s another:

First FalconThe color is so vibrant and with the flowers on Kristen’s shirt it ties in nicely!

Time for a little more behind the scenes fun this time from our YouTube Live broadcast replay!

And we’ll leave you with one more photo…

First Falcon

And there you have it!  Our First Falcon was a winner and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

An Honor To Have Chase Here For His Senior Pictures!

by
No Comments

Yes it was fun to have Chase here for his senior pictures, but it was also an honor since Chase will be joining the Army after high school!  What a great kid and we know he’ll have a great career in the armed forces.  But for now let’s enjoy the fun pics where everyone got involved from the fam to Diva the pup, and this session was broken up into two days because of weather…  that seems to be a bit of a theme this Fall!

An Honor To Have Chase…

So we started in the studio on our scheduled day even with the bad weather outside and mom Krysten and nana Denise both joined us!  Great ladies!  Here is Chase on the white backdrop for the clean basic contemporary look – always a winner.

Honor

 

We also have some behind the scenes with the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast where Chase donned a little Army gear (a t-shirt, ballcap, and camo shorts)!

And the result:

Honor

Very cool!  We support our military!

Day 2

The day we had scheduled for the location session was a perfect day and everyone got into the act here…  so fun!  Let’s start with Chase and Diva the German Shepherd!

Honor

Diva even smiled for the picture!  Awesome.

We have more behind the scenes here too this time from the replay of the YouTube Live broadcast:

We’ll leave you with the family shot complete with the little bros!

Honor

And there you have it – an honor to be with these folks and Chase especially.  A fine young man to be sure!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our time with all of them!

Ah Yeah Aliya! Your Senior Picture Session Rocked!

by
2 Comments

Ah yeah Aliya’s session rocked!  And why not?  Her sister Nadia’s session rocked and her whole family – well, they generally rock all the way around.  In other words, we like them.  With Aliya we actually were forced to break up her session into separate days due to weather which was fine with us – more time with her and her delightful mom Nisha!

Ah Yeah Aliya!

Meanwhile Aliya brought some traditional dress to the proceedings which always makes us happy – so beautiful to photograph with the vibrant colors and patterns!

We started in the studio on a crummy day outdoors as we mentioned before, but it’s always perfect in the studio so let’s take a look!

Ah Yeah Aliya

Love that!

We have some behind the scenes fun for you as well – first with the replay of the Facebook Live broadcast we did:

And one more from the studio before we get to our location day….

Ah Yeah Aliya

Love the earth tones, the wooden floor, the backdrop – all of it!

Now let’s head outside!  For our rescheduled day for the location part the weather cooperated much better and we headed over to the West Bloomfield trail network and nature preserve. 

Ah Yeah Aliya

Beautiful!  The lighting, the traditional clothing – Alia looks amazing!

We also have more behind the scenes – this time from the YouTube Live broadcast:

And we’ll leave you with one more from our day!

Ah Yeah Aliya

Great one to finish on!

And there you have it!  Ah yeah Aliya definitely rocked her senior session and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day(s) with her!

by
No Comments

It’s a joy to see a family in the process of growing right before your eyes when they are expecting and this fabulous family of three is about to become FOUR!  So we met them in a park to get some awesome location portraits of this version of the crew and we had a blast.

Fabulous Family of Three

Corey and Alexis have actually been to the studio before as part of a larger group family portrait session, but this time we got to hang with just them and their cool little man Avery and the results are pretty great.  Let’s start with the family portrait of the three of them:

Fabulous Family

Love that fun look on Avery’s face!

We also have some fun behind the scenes from the morning from the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast:

So fun!

Let’s get to a few more shots – let’s take a look at Avery just being Avery!

Fabulous Family

And how about a father / son shot in black and white!

Fabulous Family

Precious.

And now just the happy couple together…

Fabulous Family

Awesome.  We enjoyed our time with this fabulous family and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our morning!

by
No Comments

The allure of Liz’s lovely senior session is strong indeed because it’s um…..awesome!  We are big fans of this girl – she has an artist’s point of view as an aspiring photographer herself and we really enjoyed photographing her!  The only problem is that we’re a Canon shop and she shoots with a Nikon – ha – but that just proves how much we like her that we still let her into the studio and even took a photo of her with her camera which you’ll see below!  Liz’s mom Marion came along for the fun, Liz looked amazing and we are excited to show you these highlights so let’s get to it…

Allure Of Liz’s Lovely Senior Session

We started out in the studio and here is a good time to give a shout out to Mandy Rose studio for the makeup – a fantastic job as usual.

Allure

Love that setup with the damask backdrop and the wooden floor!  And love Liz’s style!

We also have some fun behind the scenes here first with the replay of our YouTube Live broadcast getting the photo above!

While we were in the studio we let Liz break out her Nikon and we took this fun photo:

Allure

So fun – a girl and her camera and a girl after our own hearts!!!

At this point it was time to head out on location in Birmingham where we had a great day and where we captured this next photo – stunning really…

Allure

Wow.  Absolutely gorgeous.

Here’s another behind the scenes replay from the day this time from Facebook Live:

  And here is a final shot which comes from the replay above:

Allure

Adorable!!!

And there you have it – we’re pretty confident you get the allure of Liz’s lovely session after seeing these sneak peeks!!!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Sami’s Sublime Senior Session Was One To Remember!

by
No Comments

Sami’s sublime senior session was one to remember, and why wouldn’t it be?  We already photographed Sami before as a spokesmodel representing the class of 2018 and that session was fab so we already knew we could look forward to another awesome outing!  This time we went to the E.L. Johsnon Nature Center in Bloomfield Hills and our conditions were perfect!  Sami’s mom Lisa and her boyfriend Greg joined to be Sami’s cheering section too!  Great lighting, great senior and plenty of natural beauty all around…. much to enjoy so let’s get to it!

Sami’s Sublime Senior Session

Our first stop was on this beautiful long bridge – a great photo to kick it off…

Sublime Senior Session Sublime!  The backlight on her hair is such a great accent and Sami is off to a perfect start here!

We also have some behind the scenes fun for you too – first with the replay of the Facebook Live broadcast:

At this point we headed out on the trails to get some pure nature – flowers, trees – plenty of beauty!

Sublime Senior SessionSo pretty!

Sublime Senior Session

Just a relaxed, happy Sami here – love it.

We also have some more behind the scenes this time from the YouTube Live replay:

And we’ll leave you with this lovely photo of Sami just being Sami….

Sublime Senior Session

Sublime indeed!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Sami – it was definitely one to remember!

A Dazzling Day In Detroit With Dani For Her Senior Pictures!

by
No Comments

We gushed about Dani plenty when we blogged about her spokesmodel session and after knowing her for about 6 months as she’s represented the studio for the class of 2018 we can say with certainty it was all justified.  We LOVE this girl and we definitely had a dazzling day with her in Detroit!  Her mom Diana came along for the fun and as you’ll see it was a session to remember.

Dazzling Day With Dani

Many of the highlights of this session ended up being in The Belt which we’ll get to, but we started out on Belle Isle and captured this stunner:

Dazzling Day

Wow – dazzling right?  I also have to say that I’ve been playing around with the new Snapchat filters on my iPhone for some of the behind the scenes stuff we put on our Snapchat stories and I think this one of Ally capturing the photo of Dani above is worth including here – like a cool little painting…

Meanwhile we have the YouTube live broadcast replay from Belle Isle as well for you here:

Now let’s head over to The Belt in downtown Detroit where we captured some real winners!

Dazzling Day

Love it – and here is the behind the scenes Facebook Live broadcast replay that goes with that shot:

Her outfit seemed to be just perfect for the colors there too….

Dazzling Day

We also went to an art gallery there that rotates installations of different mediums and we’ve been lucky enough to be there when they invited us in to take photos.  That’s where this last one was captured:

Dazzling Day

So cool!  And there you have it – a dazzling day in Detroit with Dani indeed!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights!

Mason Makes It Happen On His Senior Picture Session!

by
No Comments

Mason definitely made it happen on his senior session – and it wasn’t his first one.  Okay well it was his first one that was his senior session but he came along on his brother Reed’s session a year ago so he knew what to expect and he was ready to roll.  What a great kid – the kind of kid you can look at him a certain way and get him laughing and then everyone is laughing.  We had a lot of fun and mom Tracie and dad Brent joined again and we’ve known them for decades.  Brent is one of the few really cool people I met back in my corporate days who I’ve remained friends with and the whole family is great.

Mason Makes It Happen

So with Mason the plan was to head over to the Franklin Cider Mill to get some location photos – always a great spot and we’ll start there:

Mason

Looking great!  The conditions were fantastic too as you can see with that great backlight!

We also have some fun behind the scenes action for you first with the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast:

And one more up close and personal with our guy before we head back to the studio:

Mason

Stud!!!

At this point we headed back to the studio to get a few more starting with this one…

Mason

How great is the bow tie?  More seniors should wear these…. just sayin’

Here’s another behind the scenes replay – this time from YouTube Live:

And we’ll finish with one more casual shot from the studio:

Mason

And there you have it – Mason made it happen for sure, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

Evidence Of Emily Being Exceptional On Her Senior Session!

by
No Comments

Yes there is plenty of evidence of Emily being exceptional – not just on her senior session in case the title is misleading, because we’ve known this for a while.  Really since the first time we met her and throughout her time representing the studio as a spokesmodel for the class of 2018!  Plus she’s a North Farmington Raider which always helps, but she’s no ordinary Raider, she’s an accomplished musician and student athlete!  She’s a total character as well so really she’s the whole package and we are huge fans!

Emily Being Exceptional

With Emily we traveled to Ann Arbor and spent the morning photographing on and around the U of M campus which obviously has lots of great spots, and her mom Jen joined – we always have a great time together with them!  We’ll start with this one:

Emily

Stunningly beautiful!

Now there’s a little story with that one… we had a bit of an emergency situation with a big fat bumblebee who was hanging around in the flowers that decided to hitch a ride in Emily’s beautiful long hair and come along in the car…. let’s just say Emily was a little startled when she discovered Mr. Bumblebee.  Holy moly….  haha!  But Emily’s a trooper and she survived!  Lol…

Meanwhile we do have some behind the scenes from our day – not of the bee but of the bee-yoo-tee.  See what I did there?  First with the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast:

Here are a couple more where we explored and took advantage of textures and architecture on campus:

Emily

Framed nicely with the full length shot!

Here’s some more behind the scenes fun from the YouTube Live replay:

And now with the close up…

Emily

Emily being exceptional indeed!

At this point after a delicious vegan lunch at The Lunch Room where our Lacey met up with us as well we headed back to the studio in West Bloomfield to get a couple more photos including some focus on volleyball – and this next photo is LIT….  We usually play with fire on the black backdrop but this one on the grey is just awesome…

Emily

A great one to finish on!  So as you can see there was plenty of evidence of Emily being exceptional and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!
