Ava Ahead Of Her Time On An Unequaled Senior Session!

by
No Comments

This post features Ava ahead of her time – there’s no doubt she is.  She suggested an idea we had never done before on a whim and it turned out to be one of the coolest ideas we’ve done with unique results that we’ll definitely return to with other seniors!  We’ll save those for last.  Ava is a spokesmodel for us representing the Bloomfield Hills Blackhawks for the class of 2020, and privately Ally was worried about trying to top her spokesmodel session this time since the Detroit session in April was SO great.  Well…..we think we may have done it.

Ava Ahead Of Her Time

The plan this time was to head to Karner Blue Stables where Ava’s horse Oscar stays – what a beauty he is, and the spots for photos were aplenty.  Ava’s mom Stacie whom we’ve known since high school was there to join us and we had much fun as we always do now with them.  We started with just a few natural pics and we’ll also give a shout out to Adria at The Beauty Lounge for the great job on Ava’s hair!

Ava Ahead

Gorgeous.

Next it was time to meet OSCAR!!!  He was very chill – here’s the behind the scenes from Facebook LIVE as we got set up for some of those shots!

And here’s our girl with her guy!!!

Ava Ahead

STUNNING.  LIKE…..STUNNING.

Here’s a little more of the behind the scenes fun as we switched up some outfits and explored the grounds this time from Instagram LIVE:

So another thing we love about Ava is her “rocker chick” vibe when she breaks out Doors or Stones gear like she did this day… combine that with a nearby horse trailer and you’ve got super cool…

Ava Ahead

Now for the coup de grace!  Ally shooting up towards the sky, a little off-camera flash with Ava leaning over her…. and, well – look:

Ava Ahead

There are a couple of these we just simply couldn’t choose between for the blog so here’s one more…

Ava Ahead

WOW.  We are SO in love with these!

So now you know.  Ava is ahead of her time indeed – we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Eliza Supplies A Whole Bunch Of Adorable On Her Senior Session!

by
No Comments
The title of this post makes us smile as does this senior!  Eliza supplies a whole bunch of adorable and fun too!  Any senior who brings a bunch of balloons to her session has the right attitude in our book!  This also wasn’t the first time Eliza had been in front of Ally’s camera since she joined us for older sis Anabel’s senior sesh a few years ago and time has definitely flown!  Anabel actually met us on site for a few pics to return the favor this time around and overall we had another great day with them and their delightful mom Cindy!
 

Eliza Supplies-A!

We started in the studio and Eliza is a fan of the color purple so we started with the purple backdrop and the black couch – a pretty cool combo!
 
Eliza supplies
So cute – and the dress works great with a bit of black and purple in it!
 
We have some fun behind the scenes from this part of the session first on the replay from Facebook Live:
 

At this point we headed out on location in Birmingham where we wanted to get some natural pics and some city textures, and we had a perfect day:
 
Eliza supplies
Adorable!
 
The balloons could have used a little more helium (which we all had some good laughs about) but that didn’t stop us – we still got our photo!
 
Eliza supplies
 

Next we headed to downtown Birmingham where we have some more behind the scenes from the Instagram LIVE:

And we’ll leave you with this cute one of Eliza with a bandana in her hair on the brick – love this!
 
Eliza supplies
As you can see, Eliza supplies a whole lot of adorable…
 
And there you have it!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

We Were Jacked For Jesse and His Senior Picture Session!

by
No Comments
We get excited – jacked if you will – for senior sessions.  They are so much fun for us, and for Jesse we knew we’d have a good time because we’ve known this kid since before he was born!  We have a long history of friendship with his parents that goes back about 27 years for Doug before there was even a “Doug & Ally”.  We were the very first ones to see Noah & Ellen in Ann Arbor after Noah popped the question and Jesse and our Tony have been buddies just about since birth.  While we’re at it Noah and Ellen designed this very website you’re reading this blog post on – check out EPK Design!  Meanwhile Jesse has appeared on this blog before for family pics and for his bar mitzvah too!  Jesse is just a great kid – always has been, and he had his distinctive curly red hair grown out nice and long for his session!
 

Jacked For Jesse

We started outside and we lucked out – there were storms throughout the night but by morning they passed!
 
Jacked
What a great pic!  Good looking dude.
 
We went for texture too with a couple of walls…..and a couple of laughs:
 
Jacked
 
Good times!  We also have some fun behind the scenes action first from Facebook Live:
 

And one more from on location:

Jacked
 
At this point we headed back to the studio for his yearbook photo and a few additional formal pics, and we have some behind the scenes fun this time from Instagram LIVE:
 

And we’ll leave you with this one:
 
Jacked
What a stud!
 
You can see why we were jacked for Jesse – we knew it would be a great time and it was!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our morning with him!

Rachel Represents Raiders In Style On Her Senior Picture Session!

by
No Comments
Rachel is a Raider – a North Farmington Raider like us, so Rachel Represents Raiders seemed to just write itself.  But – it’s about more than that, because she embodies what we would hope a senior would represent from our alma mater!  She is adorable – outgoing, smart and sweet – a talented dancer to boot and we had a blast with her and her mom Susan on her senior session!
 

Rachel Represents Raiders

With Rachel we had a solid plan of both studio and location work and we’ll start indoors on the white backdrop:
 
Rachel Represents Raiders
LOVE!
 
We also have some fun behind the scenes from Facebook Live when we were doing the black and blowy setup:
 

And one more from the studio on the metal!

Rachel Represents Raiders

So cool – every time we use the metal we think “we should use the metal more”!

At this point we headed to Birmingham where we had a perfect day!

Rachel Represents Raiders

Definitely one of our faves from the session…

We also have more behind the scenes including the “Susan Takeover” when Rachel’s mom guest hosted the livestream on Instagram!  She killed it!!!  Take a look:

And we’ll leave you with this last one:
Rachel Represents Raiders
Adorable!
 
And there you have it!  Rachel represented Raiders in style indeed – we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Photographing Jordan Is Our Jam – Her Senior Session Shows Why!

by
No Comments

Photographing Jordan is our jam.  We’ve gotten to do it a couple times now starting with her spokesmodel session back in April and it’s been a blast!  She’s a total sweetheart and her parents are great too – Jessica and Doug both joined us for a perfect day in Birmingham for her senior session and we have highlights for you – they weren’t easy to pick….

Photographing Jordan is our Jam

This first photo is a new spot at Quarton Lake we hadn’t used before, so this pose on this rock will henceforth be known as “The Jordan”:  

Jam

She ROCKED it.

We also have some behind the scenes fun from the day starting with the replay from Facebook Live:

Here’s one more from Quarton Lake – just a beautiful close up of Jordan!

Jam

…and one more livestream – this time it’s the replay of the Instagram LIVE:

At this point we headed over to downtown Birmingham to get a few urban looks and these are just fantastic:

Jam

Adorable – catching her in a bit of a mid-giggle!

And we’ll leave you with this one which is one of our favorite looks:

Jam

Yeah….everything about this session was just wonderful!  Awesome results.

And there you have it – photographing Jordan is our jam indeed!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Carli Conquers and Captivates With Cool Senior Pictures!

by
No Comments

Carli is cool, and yes she conquered and captivated on this wonderful senior picture session!!!  Cool because she’s just adorable, smart and nice.  Conquers because she stepped out of her comfort zone taking pics amongst the wildlife (including a couple of muskrats lol), and captivates because she totally crushed it!  She looks great in these photos!  We had so much fun with her and her mom Jenny – a perfect day with lots of laughs!  Aside from the yearbook headshot we went completely on location and we are excited to share a few of these with you! 

Carli Conquers

Going in chronological order we started with a bench by the water and this one just looks so good to us in black and white so we’ll start there:

Carli Conquers

We also have some fun behind the scenes from the day first with the replay from Facebook Live!

We had a couple of outfit changes, a few furry friends who visited and startled Carli’s mom Jenny a little – we love her by the way – and a little waiting for the sun to hit a meadow just the way we wanted it!  Here’s a beautiful full length photo:

Carli Conquers

Love it!

Here’s more behind the scenes fun this time from our Instagram livestream:

We LOVE this one on the bridge…

Carli Conquers

Okay, she is stunning!

We’ll leave you with one more!

Carli Conquers

Beautiful!!!  Carli conquers and captivates is an appropriate way to describe these photos indeed, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

by
No Comments

Mad about Maddie is what we are!  We actually have been at least since her spokesmodel session back in April and so we were excited to get her in front of Ally’s camera again for her senior pictures!  We had great weather and we focused mainly on location for this day so we headed out with Maddie and her mom Lisa to make it happen!

Mad About Maddie

First we went to a private beach that they had access to:

Mad About Maddie

Okay she’s adorable.

From there we headed to a fave dock of ours for a few and we have some fun behind the scenes on this from Facebook Live!

…and one of the results!

Mad About Maddie

Love it.  And we’ll also give a shout out to Francie Fruitman on the fantastic makeup!

We bounced around West Bloomfield a little where we got this image with Maddie surrounded by natural beauty!

Mad About Maddie

Oh, and Maddie LOVES bumblebees…. ok not really.  Haha!  Some more behind the scenes on that…. from Instagram LIVE:

We’ll leave you with one more of Maddie just being super cute.

Mad About Maddie

And there you have it – we’re mad about Maddie – again!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

We Will Reach (No) Goals On This Senior Session With Jeremy.

by
No Comments

No goals here.  Not on this session.  None.  Shutout of all goals.  Why?  Because Jeremy is a GOALIE!!!  You don’t score on Jeremy on this blog post – HE will do the scoring thank you very much.

Jeremy is a legacy here since we photographed his older bro Seth a couple years back and we were excited to have him and his awesome mom Tammy here for another round from this fam.  Jeremy definitely delivered and we did a couple of really unique things on this session!  We love the results and we have a few highlights for you here…

(No) Goals With Jeremy!

We started in the studio with the “GQ Goalie” look on the black background!  We’ve done similar photos with a basketball but not the suit with the equipment and the skates – how cool is this?

Goal

We’re big fans of the pink dress shirts on guys too – it’s a great look!

We actually played around with some fire too – here is the video of that with Jeremy in his Bloomfield Hills Blackhawks jersey from Instagram:

At this point we headed outdoors for some location photos:

Goals

Looking good – and we had a great day for it too!

Here’s a close up of our guy:

Goals

And the final set up was Jeremy with his 2016 Dodge Charger – nice ride!  Here’s the behind the scenes vid from that on Facebook:

And the result!

Goals

Sweeeeeeet.

And there you have it – Jeremy’s session was goals – but NONE that got past him… ha!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!
