We’re Seriously Smitten With Sedona’s Senior Pictures!

by
No Comments

We have known Sedona since she was a baby and this is at least the third time she’s been on our blog!  She’s beautiful, smart, funny, snarky, and we are smitten with her senior session!!!  She was a spokesmodel for us this year for Walled Lake Northern and we were excited to get her in front of Ally’s camera once again!  Her mom Rachel who is one of our dear friends joined us for a fun day in Detroit, so let’s get to some highlights!

Smitten With Sedona

We actually spent the entire session on Belle Isle which has so many amazing spots to photograph, and this was the first time we headed to Sunset Point for this awesome shot of Sedona against the Detroit skyline!

Smitten

Just beautiful!

We also have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook LIVE:

Next we headed over to the red bridge for this stunner…

Smitten

Love it.

Moving around the island we stopped in at the conservatory and here’s a little video from Instagram…

And at that point we headed over to the covered bridge for a few:

Smitten

We love that spot, but this next one was almost an afterthought – one of those “hang on – go stand by that tree” photos that we hadn’t planned on.  It turned out to be the last photo of the day and it’s outstanding…

Smitten

Do you see?  Do you see why we’re smitten with Sedona’s session?  We’re just smitten with Sedona period – love this girl, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Enter Elijah – a class of 2020 Bloomfield Hills Blackhawk and the subject of this outstanding senior picture session!  Elijah is a sharp young man and we had a lot of fun on his session with him and his mom Amy!  We connected with them right away and we have so many mutuals with Amy it’s a surprise we didn’t know each other before, but here we are – better late than never!  We had a great day and let’s get to a few highlights!

Enter Elijah

We started in the studio for a nice formal series on the black background – here’s one:

Enter Elijah

Dapper dude!

We also have some behind the scenes fun from the day – first on Instagram:

At this point we headed to Birmingham and we had great conditions:

Enter Elijah

Love that one – and we even have a feathered friend in the background lol…

Here’s another one from Quarton Lake:

Enter Elijah

We also went into downtown Birmingham for a couple city looks – here’s the behind the scenes from Facebook:

And we’ll leave you with this one with the lamp post:

So cool!  A little haze, a little pop of fall color in the background – great one to end on!

A killer session indeed and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Elijah!

Happily Hannah: Chill High School Senior Vibes With This Girl!

by
No Comments

Happily Hannah – that’s what this next senior seems to be if you ask us!  She’s adorable and just chill – a nice girl and even though her mom Lisa and aunt Bridget are both Westland John Glenn alums she turned out great!  Haha…. let me explain – Ally and I went to North Farmington and back in the day John Glenn was our big rival so we had a lot of fun with that, but Hannah is a West Bloomfield Laker right up the road and she is a delight.  We had a nice fall day for her session, and her aunt Bridget had Hannah looking fantastic with hair and makeup so let’s get to the highlights:

Happily Hannah

We started in the studio with the black backdrop and Hannah brought her kitty Boots!!!  We love that!  Here’s one of the two of them together…

Happily Hannah

Okay how cute are they?

We also have some fun behind the scenes from the studio first on Facebook Live:

And how about one more “black and blowy” picture from the studio…

Happily Hannah

She is so pretty!

At this point we headed out on location to Birmingham and we had great conditions…

Happily Hannah

 

Ahhh that backlight!

We have more behind the scenes fun too this time from when we headed into downtown Birmingham to get a few urban looks, this time from Instagram:

…and one of the results in black and white:

Happily Hannah

Just a classic photo – a great one to end on!  She’s happily Hannah and we happily have her on our blog now!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Twinning and Winning – Part 2 – We Are On The Shane Train!

by
No Comments

In yesterday’s post Twinning and Winning – Part 1 – And We Ain’t Lyin’ About Ryann! we went all Ladies First with Ryann’s highlights with a twin pic of Ryann and Shane together mixed in.  Today we reverse it and get on the Shane Train!!!  Shane is a good dude and he was a trooper on these two days in Detroit taking all these pics with his sis!  We had a great time with these two and here are more of the highlights!

On The Shane Train

We’ll start with one of our favorite mosaic murals in Eastern Market:

Shane Train

Looking good!!!

Here’s one from Belle Isle with a pretty cool composition – an angle we hadn’t used before:

Shane Train

We posted a photo from the cool ivy wall we found in Detroit yesterday of Ryann, and here’s some behind the scenes of that spot from Facebook Live:

And a result with Shane:

Shane Train

Pretty cool huh?

We grabbed this black and white on the Wayne State campus – big fans of how this one turned out:

Shane Train

Our last spot was by a very cool sculpture – also a somewhat random find…  and here’s the behind the scenes from Instagram:

And we’ll leave you with one of those of the twins together!

Shane Train

Love them!

You can see why we weren’t lyin’ about Ryann yesterday and why we are on the Shane Train today!!!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our time with these two!!!

Twinning and Winning – Part 1 – And We Ain’t Lyin’ About Ryann!

by
No Comments

What an epic senior session(s) odyssey we embarked on with twins Ryann and Shane!!!  In this post we’ll go ladies first – we love this girl and we ain’t lyin….about Ryann!!!  What a sweetheart and the two of them are pretty hilarious together we have to say.  Definitely a twin bond that you can feel.  We’re going to focus on some individual photos of Ryann here and some individuals of Shane tomorrow but with one together in each post.  These two are legacies too since we photographed older brother Ian from the class of 2019!

Twinning & Winning & ain’t lyin’ about Ryann…

We went to Detroit with these two – twice!  The plan with their parents Faith and John was to make sure we had plenty of opportunities to get as many pics as we needed in as many spots as necessary with some of them individually and some together.  We all felt that we didn’t want to be rushed, and this allowed us to break it up without going on a marathon day long shoot.  So you’ll see some photos mixed in here from both days!

Here’s a little behind the scenes to give you a taste of the first day in Eastern Market before we get to a few higlights from Facebook Live:

Now some highlights of Ryann’s pics!

Ryann

Just stunning!!!  We had a decent amount of wind at that point but it works to nice effect on Ryann’s hair above!  Lots of color in and around Eastern Market as well and Ryann Rocked it.  Here’s another one…

Ryann

Love the black on the black wall…

Here’s one from day two on a random ivy covered wall I just spotted as we were driving by…

Ryann

Love it.  That wall won’t be so random for us anymore!

And one more in this outfit on the Wayne State Campus which is really nice…

Ryann

Now let’s bring Shane into the picture (pun intended) for this fun twin pic:

Ryann

 

Awesome!!!  Twinning and winning indeed and you can see we weren’t lyin’ about Ryann!  We had so much fun with these two and we hope you enjoyed part 1 of the highlights!  Part two is the next post!

Kraving The Fall Feels With Katie On Her Senior Picture Session!

by
No Comments
We’ve known Katie since she was born – heck her mom Kelly stood up in our wedding so we go way back with these guys and Katie was a spokesmodel for us this year for the Clarkston Wolves!  She’s nice, she’s smart, she’s pretty – she’s pretty much the whole package!  Our original plan got rained out so we broke this up into two days for studio and location, and what a location!  We headed up to Clarkston for a perfect afternoon with Katie and her parents Tim and Kelly at Independence Oaks County Park, so let’s get to the highlights!
 
Let’s start with one from the day at the studio on the simple white backdrop:
Katie
Love that – she looks adorable, and we have some behind the scenes from that day on Instagram:
 
 

Kraving the Fall Feels with Katie

Now let’s get to our amazing day on location for some beautiful lighting and fall colors!  We definitely would like to photograph at this park again sometime – what a beautiful place!
 
Katie
 
Just a simple close up with the water in the background…
 
We also have more behind the scenes this time from Facebook Live:
 

…and a couple of stunners to wrap this up:

Katie

How’s that for fall color?

Katie

She looks gorgeous in the meadow and that’s a great one to end this on.

All the Fall Feels indeed and we had a great time with Katie!!!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day(s) with her!

Brooke is a beauty and she’s funny!  Not surprising – her mom Sharon is hilarious too and this session was practically off the rails with all of us cracking up most of the day…  Those are the best.  Brooke is also a legacy here with her sister Abby being here a few years ago so we were really looking forward to this one!  It was all we figured it would be and the photos are fantastic!  We had a perfect day too so let’s get to it:

Hanging With Jonah (and Jack) For Senior Pictures Is Our Jam!

by
No Comments
Jonah is a cool kid – outgoing and sharp, and we love a senior who brings the pup!  It was funny because his older sis Eden was swooning over their dog Jack on Snapchat while we were photographing since she didn’t have Jack on her session!  Haha…. gotta love a little sibling rivalry!  Jonah’s mom Lisa joined us on the session and even his dad Ethan came by since he was responsible for getting Jack home, so it was a family affair and we had a great time!
 

Hanging with Jonah and Jack!

 
We started in the studio so let’s take a look at those first, starting with a formal look on the grey background:
 
Jonah
That’s a stylin’ man right there.
 
Now let’s bring JACK into the picture!!!
 
Jonah
How awesome is Jack?  Such a great smile!!! Lol…
 
At this point we headed out on location to get some photos at Quarton Lake and in downtown Birmingham and we have some behind the scenes at Quarton Lake from Facebook Live!
 
 

Jonah

 

Great shot on a PERFECT weather day for us, and at this point we headed over to downtown to get more – here’s the behind the scenes on that from Instagram:

And the result:

Jonah

So there you have it!  Photographing Jonah (and Jack) was our jam indeed – we had a great day and we hope you enjoyed the highlights!

We Were VIKTORIOUS With Viktor On His Senior Session!

by
No Comments
VIKTORIOUS!!!  That’s how we all felt after our day – Viktor, his parents & Ally and me!  Such a cool class of 2020 senior session with plenty of stuff we did on a whim and it all worked out!  From boutiques and restaurants around Birmingham who were more than happy to let us come in and take pics like Churchill’s and Teacups & Toys, a Pet Boutique, to great weather and just generally exploring, it was a flawless outing!  Viktor is a cool dude too which we knew – we’ve photographed him with the whole family and he hung out on big brother Maksim’s session too – so we were looking forward to this one with mom Susie and dad Mike whom I go back with over 40 years!
 

VIKTORIOUS WITH VIKTOR…

 
We focused on location photos for Viktor in Birmingham so let’s get to the highlights:
 
Viktor
 
This one looks so cool in black and white – Viktor is the man!
 
We also have some fun behind the scenes on this one first from the Instagram Livestream – check it out!
 

Let’s get to a few more:
 
Viktor
Such a cool spot with the ivy covered building!!!
 
Viktor
The marquee of the Birmingham Theater is a pretty cool backdrop too.  Viktor crushed it.
 
Last but not least, we asked the folks at Churchill’s if we could come in and shoot and they were more than accommodating!  It was around 11 AM so it was well before the lunch crowd and we were in and out pretty fast.  We have photographed in the West Bloomfield location as well just across the street from our studio and they are really nice there.  Great big humidor and selection of spirits and a wonderful menu in Birmingham – highly recommended.  Here’s the behind the scenes from Facebook Live:
 

…..and the result:
 
Viktor
SO cool right?
 
Yes a VIKTORIOUS day was had indeed, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day!

Dean Was Dynamite On His Senior Picture Session!

by
2 Comments
Dean has been Dynamite a couple times in the last month or so….  He’s a North Farmington Raider so you may know that North is nationally famous for their fun wacky student ID cards and Dean was Napoleon Dynamite on his – it was perfection!  Meanwhile these were entirely different kinds of pics – senior pics!  Dean’s mom Joy came along to provide the crying – LOL.  We love Joy and we rib her a lot about how cute she is when she gets all emotional about her babies being all grown up!  Dean meanwhile is a great kid just like his older brother Mitchell who was here two years ago! 
 

Dean was Dynamite

We started out in the studio for a more dressy look – fantastic monochromatic get up for this dude:

Dynamite
Awesome – good looking dude!
 
We also headed out on location to get a few…
 
Dynamite
Looking good – and we have to say there’s no doubt that this guy had more fun than he expected.  You can see it in his smile – good times and lots of laughs!
 
Dynamite
Nice with the lake in the background!
 
We’ll leave you with one more:
 
Dynamite
 
Good times indeed – Dean was dynamite and we had a great time on this day.  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of his session!
