Port Huron Winter Senior Photoshoot on frozen Lake Huron

Michigan Photographer captures Senior
on the ice of Lake Huron to mimic Iceland scenery

   Your Senior Photoshoot should leave you with stunning portraits, but it should also be an experience that truly stands out when you look back on your twelfth year. I can't bare to think it was a day that you look back on and you say- we went to some park and I changed my clothes a few times and then we were done. I need your experience to be more that that- something exciting, thrilling, unique, something you wouldn't normally do, and of course something that expresses who you truly are.
   Celine's shoot was exactly that. How many times do you go to the beach in the winter? How many times have you crawled in between two huge pieces of ice and just released your inner fashionista? Or what about standing on top of a frozen over break wall and just letting the wind take over? Not to mention how perfectly her fair skin paired with the fresh snow in the second outfit making her a modern day Snow White.
   I’m always so thankful for adventurous souls like Celine! Right away she said she wanted the whole shoot done in the Winter, she was not shying away from the cold or the snow, which we don’t hear a lot! Winter shoots have such a sense of whimsy. It was so easy to capture beautiful moments, especially with her sweet personality.
   This shoot was so natural, so effortless that we didn’t have to spend a lot of time out in the cold. Just be yourself, let go, be free, and we can get what we need without you turning into a popsicle on set. Celine also opted to add in our Hair and Makeup package, so all she needed to do the day of her shoot was show up in comfy clothes while our in house stylist took care of everything! Super easy and a little celebrity treatment.

Nik- The Guy Senior Shoot that will be hard to top

Guy Fall Grunge shoot by Port Huron Senior Photographer- ajbc photography

---

 I’m so happy to FINALLY be putting up Nik’s blog! It's been an amazing secret we've been hiding since the Fall. He was so natural in front of the camera, Nik’s personality was fun, genuine, and contagious, so from the get go, it was a blast!
   For our first look we wandered out into the woods. Nik’s first outfit was this comfy yet super stylish mustard yellow sweater and piercing green eyes matched perfectly with the golden hour sun and changing fall leaves! Not only did he nail this killer look... we also got so see his absolute adorable side with his adorable pup tagging along.
   With Nik he pulled off so many looks.. from a stylish good lookin’ Port Huron High Senior to.. oh hey whats up, GQ Model. For Nik’s second look we hopped in the car, and headed to Downtown Port Huron for a more grunge look. He was rockin’ ripped jeans, black T, and a flannel... simple yet perfect for the look we were going for! Between alley ways, vape smoke, abandoned buildings at the newspaper storage room we got some rockin' shots! Edgy and not what you would expect from a typical Senior shoot, which I'm totally all about.
   This is proof a guy shoot can be equally magazine worthy as a girl shoot.. Normally everyone is obsessed with the Senior girls but Nik's making guy Senior shoots look pretty kick ass right about now. Nik either needs to get into modeling or fashion styling because he nailed everything about it!

Texas Couple tells love story during Winter Photoshoot

Port Huron, Michigan Couple Photographer
photographs young love from Texas

   This year I had a goal- take less “portraits.” I know that sounds ridiculous but I was swooning over the images I was seeing on Pinterest- full of love, fun, emotion. And my photography runs on emotion.
   If you give me a love story, a trauma, even a fairytale, what I can create for you exceeds what I work off of when I’m just running on colors of clothes.
   With Kaley and Shawn I got the most adorable love story! They’ve been together since they were young (as if they’re old now... haha) and got married, moved, and Shawn enlisted in the military before they were even 20. I loved watching their love story unfold as the images popped up in my facebook feed over the years.
   Kaley came to me for her Senior Portraits nearly 4 years ago and she was a beauty back then. Not much has changed.
   Fast forward to now. They were home visiting from the sunny, warm state of Texas and booked a shoot in Michigan with AJBC Photography in the dead of Winter. Snow, deep snow, and below freezing temps, way below, just a touch above zero.
   We grabbed a warm blanket, headed out to the forest and I just watched them enjoy each other, snuggling, dancing, smooching. I didn’t need to ask them to “act like they like each other” like we’ve had to do with so many couples in the past.
    It felt so good to photograph people just being themselves. I’ve never been one for awkward stiff posing, but I’m losing that “posing” side of me even more, and I love it!!

Anchor Bay Senior Photographer- Photo Shoot

BoHo Michigan Senior Photoshoot

Outdoor, Natural Beauty Shoot

   Anchor Bay High School is a long ways from our little town of Burtchvillr, but Jessica still made the drive to get photographed by us at AJBC Photography! Thank goodness because I would be jealous of any other photographer that got to capture those mysterious eyes! You’ll see what I mean when you scroll down.
   When Jessica was planning her Senior Photoshoot with us in the studio she just kept saying the word “golden.” She wanted her Senior Portraits to be warm, full of sunshine. Who doesn’t love that look? So we scheduled the 4 outfit photoshoot for later in the day, when we would catch that golden hour.
   We started by showing off her creative side and all of her talents. Not only did she come with her own make up done (totally flawless) she also draws, does photography (she even booked a few of her own Senior Shoots this year) and is musically gifted. Seriously... share some of those talents!
   Next... to the bean field! And a ditch... Yes, you read both of those right. Magic, I know. This field was just a visual replica of the yellow brick road. We actually referred to it as the yellow bean road. It’s so refreshing having open minded people like Jessica and her mom create with us! They totally embraced this look and the adventure that goes with it... barefoot, in a dress, on the dirt backroads, in front of a farmer’s bean field, or crawling 3 feet down into a muddy ditch because you know that color and her blonde hair and her perfect fair skin is just going to harmonize beautifully together. God, I love the beauty in the unexpected!
   Next we snuck in to the back of an apple orchard, parking behind trees off the side of a dusty road, to hide from the crowds and do our own things. The sun just wrapped around Jessica as she sat soaking up the rays. We fanned out her hair for some shots and then... those eyes. Seriously unbelievable! It’s moments like these us photographers have to peel ourselves away from the camera and admit there’s more to do, but you really don’t want to- you just want to keep photographing!!
   Lastly we drove to the shores of Lake Huron in Lexington to watch the sun sink behind the trees and reflect off the calm water. Jessica gracefully balanced on big rocks, danced in the sand, and went from this sweet young girl to this fashion model all within this one photoshoot.

Her sweet smile when she laughed reminded you she was still just a young girl in school. Those eyes and that mature attitude reminded you she wasn’t far away from being an adult either. And that’s what these Senior Experiences are all about.
   Capture the beauty of both worlds in a magical way while they're still here.
