Garage Girl goes Pin Up

Garage Girl goes Pin Up

She's a true garage girl. Her and her husband own a great shop in downtown Port Huron.
She’s also the beautiful girl next door- there’s not that awkward moment of feeling like you have to get to know her for ages, I instantly adored her.
And now she’s adding Pin Up to the list.

The studio held a pin up event with an old retro chevy truck- something we haven’t done in 3 years. Well, when you own a shop, your husband is a grease monkey, and there’s a sweet old truck up for grabs- you go for it!

Jackie called and we met. Again- I adored her. Her personality is huge, one that once it’s gone, you kind of feel a little let down for the rest of the day. haha She told me about her life, her family, and how well this tied in with them. She was pretty adamant she didn’t want to go outside of her comfort box or transform in to someone she wasn’t for the sake of the shoot, she wanted to stay true to who she was during it all. I like girls like that.

When it came to the shoot my first reaction is to have girls get in that fierce mode, giving me that powerful serious face that transmits in to confidence and sexiness but I couldn’t do that with Jackie. It’s not that she couldn’t pull it off, because she could, and she did, but.. it didn’t feel right, it didn’t feel like her. She had to be smiling. That was her. THAT was HER confidence and her sexy side, no need to try and pull it out of somewhere else.

The best part of the session was how much we laughed when we did ask her to be serious. It was almost impossible, which is awesome. But we nailed it, and her hubby got a pretty fabulous Christmas gift out of the deal.  Don’t you agree?

2014 recap- ajbc photography (port huron, michigan portrait photographer)

2014 was an amazing, wonderful, down right spectacular year for AJBC Photography. You know why?
Because of all the beautiful 75 faces you see here (I'm missing a few for the ladies who wanted to stay private.)
Beauty, Boudoir, Families, Kids, Seniors, Weddings, Destination Weddings, Animals, Fitness, Commercial, Events, Products. All in 1 year. All because these amazing people believed in what I could create for them, what we could create together. 
It blows my mind seeing everything and everyone together in 1 box. My (almost) whole year in recap. From the first tiny square to the last, ever experience, every session, every client, every new friend I made, every moment we captured, it has changed me, it has shaped me, it's now a documented piece of history. I can not wait for 2015 and I can't thank you all enough for filling each and every square here.

Being You | Stylized Boudoir Session

I can't believe I had forgotten to share this beautiful, amazing woman with you!!This is my AMAZING stylist, Jen. She's the talent behind many of my images. I love having someone I can 100% trust for my clients. It's always so exciting when a beautiful woman walks through my door and I know they are going to shine even brighter after they are done getting their hair and makeup done with Jen. I also have trusted her for the last 10 years with all of my own persona haircuts, from first seeing her and asking her to help me grow out a disaster, to 10 years later asking her what she thought about shaving half my head and her smiling saying- I think you can pull it off. She has a way of taking what you want- and making it better. It was so fun to see her on the other side of this experience!! We had a wonderful time, right in her own home, creating something soft and natural for her indoors, to then moving outside and doing something FUN and sassy- I love versatile girls with no fear ;)


If you're still in biker babe mode you need to check out Roberta's biker inspired session- a fitness bad ass who you can find online at Fit Biker Chick!

Dress Up for the Grown Ups

Boudoir. What a fancy word. It sounds classier than just saying bedroom. It almost gives it a sense of beauty, a sense of whimsical privacy.

To many women as of late it means- I want to wear lingerie and get photographed for my special someone. But to a photographer, it shouldn't mean that. For me, it meant- I want to put on next to nothing and have you photograph me for a long time. When I first started out I just didn't "get it." Not being an overly sexy person myself, I wasn't interested in it. I had some requests for it but never got overly excited about it, and there for, that's probably why I never shot any sessions. Then... I started to get in to pin up photography. It was a FUN version of boudoir for me! But as I photographed more and more pin ups I realized something. It wasn't about the hair, it wasn't about the clothes. It was about 1 thing.

Feeling beautiful.

It was also about being confident, and loving who you are and loving someone else enough to share that.

And slowly, I started to really, really fall in love with Boudoir photography.

First off, what girl doesn't like to get pampered?A morning where you don't have to stress about getting your foundation on right, you don't have to figure out how on earth those models get their hair to look so dang perfect. You just sit back and when you're done- you find yourself looking like you stepped out of a magazine. You feel like you have it going on, because you do! Then you get to go to a studio where you play with shoes, jewelry, lace, pearls, sparkles. I don't care how old you are- playing dress up is FUN! You get to transform. EVERY DAY you walk around in what you probably feel is something that doesn't scream- LOOK AT ME, I'm FABULOUS! (Hey- if you do- you go girl!) But THIS, this is totally a time to do that!! And when it's all said and done, you get that moment that you get to keep forever to look back on in your images! You get to carry that moment out.

THAT'S the part I love.

I get to to help you dig deep and be confident enough to do something daring- because why not- it's just us in the studio!

It's YOUR time. I LOVE THAT!

But the best, best, best part is when you get to see your images for the first time and you literally SCREAM in my studio bc you can't believe what you've been missing out on, inside you, this whole time!
