High School Senior Photoshoot brings Evermore vibes

High School Senior Photoshoot brings Evermore vibes

*hit play on Willow by Taylor Swift and proceed.

First, let’s not focus on how far behind I am on blogging and how many years ago I shot this gorgeous girl. Let’s focus on how, even 2 years later, these images still feel timeless but in style. That’s my aim with every session- how we style and how I edit it. We want to bring a freshness to the shoot while being able to still look back on it 10 years later and have it not feel like we entered into a different dimension. haha

With that being said. Meet Meghan.


I love how we went from an orange flowy dress olive overalls. This is the main reason I love photographing Seniors. This is something they really embrace that my adult clients don’t- we as individuals do not have a personality built on 1 thing, one way of living, 1 way of being. We hold within us several different versions of ourselves, and that’s ok. You don’t have to wake up every single day and be exactly the same. Maybe one day you want to dress up and go out in the city. Maybe one day you want to dress rugged and go hiking. You can do that. You should do that. And the way we show that to the world in photographs is through our wardrobe.


The third location we visited was Marysville High School. This was a must. Meghan was in softball, volleyball, and basketball. I’m tired just thinking about going to god only knows how many practices and games over her 4 year high school period. haha This was a chance to show off her more serious and strong side, which I always love to see. It added a little grit and edge to her shoot, and again, embraces the different faces she puts on when she steps onto the field or court vs the face she wears with family and friends.


The last stop was downtown Port Huron and was designed around what we discussed in our first meeting to plan out her shoot.
One of the main things I remember was that she wanted a modern Stevie Nicks vibe. After that my imagination ran wild on how to bring that to life.

*hit play on Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks and finish up looking at this funky, fashion forward set!

Let me show you what natural beauty looks like- teen grunge style.

Teen Fashion Photoshoot straight out of a magazine spread.

Aspiring young model matures with edgy session.

   Jillian is the epitome of natural beauty with a unique twist. I don’t know what it is, but before her session I secretly stalked her on facebook, as probably all photographers do, and I instantly feel in love with her look. She’s 14 and the perfect mixture of an innocent yet mature look that looks effortless yet dramatic.
   Jealous!
   We had planned on her bringing an oversized shirt for the studio and a white dress for outside.
The studio look showcased just her. I didn't want anything to take away from her beauty. This is when I fell back in love with simplistic yet dramatic studio portraits. The 2nd look was just something free and light. (Secret- it was SUPER cold the day we shot so we actually photographed the white dress look with her shoes on and sweat pants around her ankles, and in between shots she would pull them back up and put her coat on to warm up. Yes, we got tricks!) 
   As a total wild card Jillian brought an extra look- trendy sunglasses, ripped white washed jeans, and vans. Her long, uncurled hair blew in the wind as we did a little sun worshiper session right in the side yard of the studio.
   Her serious looks were to die for but for the last shot of the day I got one huge, playful, real laugh from her on camera and we called it a day.
   When she and her mom came back for her viewing I found out they would be using the images for her modeling portfolio and I got SO excited. She took her previously portfolio to Chicago and they told her she would have to come back when her look wasn’t so young. Watch out Chicago... Jillian will be back and you will be eating your words. This is bold, beautiful, and her young spirit brings this pure emotion to her edgy, mature portraits.

Winter and Wind- A Whimsical Michigan Maternity Session

Winter and Wind- A Whimsical Michigan Maternity Session

A Winter Maternity Session

Whimsical, Winter, and Wind.
Who needs snow when you have love,

Beautiful Maternity Session showing the love these two share- check!
Outdoors and incorporate that rustic feel they both are drawn to- check!
Snow- ugh. Darn it, Michigan. Fail.

   February in Michigan and it’s 40 degrees out! Not what we expected, not what we planned for, but we made the best of it and still came away with breathtaking images that held that winter feeling.

   We showed up to our location and it was a mud pit! But I knew the hidden beauty it had to offer so we suffered though it. We drug our gear and props out of my jeep and Bridget helped Careena through the rough terrain. We swapped big comfy boots out for heels at the last minute and then we started shooting.
   The wind only appeared to be a pin in between shots. When it caught Careena’s hair just right, and flung that beautiful dress around, it was totally worth it. The frozen pond mimicked an icy wonderland even without the snow, and the trees far off in the background are almost reminiscent of mountains. Winter was with us, just in a different way.
We changed outfits and headed deeper in to the woods. I totally believe fairytales come to life there, and this example doesn’t prove me wrong.
   I loved watching Bridget take care of Careena. Helping her balance, guiding her to walk in her heals, brushing the hair out of her face, and cuddling up behind her with a grip that showed she was there to make everything easy and ok.
   Careena was a beauty to watch. Her smile was genuine, her eyes told you what words weren’t spoken, and when she had the opportunity to get a few shots of just her alone and the baby bump, and new woman came out. Strong and fierce.
   Take a look and enjoy. <3

Peeking into the Boudoir with Luscious Lady LaLa LaRoux

   It’s not every day you get to spy on a gorgeous girl getting ready alone in her bedroom. But, lucky for you, I did and now I’m sharing it with you.
   Oh, if only we all looked this stunning while brushing our hair, right?
   Not to mention, who else looks THIS STUNNING with little gloves on? It’s so unfair!
   LaLa Roux is the perfect blend of modern day fashion and classic pin up beauty. To the tiny vintage shoes to her fun hair, she proves to you beauty has no boundaries. You do what you want. You dress in what makes you feel good. And you mix eras to make you stand out.
   Take a look at everything we did during our stay in St. Clair at Memories Manor!
