Natural teen Beauties with a boho twist

This shoot explains what photographing in Michigan is like, in a nutshell. We had planned this shoot with mom in the spring. We picked a date and the weather read cold and possibly rainy. How were we supposed to do sunny boho AND the beach with no sun and goosebumps?
Well, as it goes, summer got really busy, really fast. We all know, in this state, summer lasts 3 months, if we're lucky, so you have to cram everything in in those 3 months! The girls left for summer camps, had all kinds of sporting events, and right before Fall hit, we were finally able to schedule them in!
And, of course, even at the peek of summer, the sun was still missing. Good thing I love working with artificial light, we just made our own sunshine! Off camera flash, a yellow gel, and boom- the best summer day.
I knew the girls wanted to do something natural, with a boho feel so my hubby, the unsung hero to many of my big creative projects (you can meet him here), and I pulled out tons of little down trees and branches out of the yard and now the studio is complete with a real, handmade, 10 ft tall teepee that rocks! 

I extra love this session because it's a time many moms forget to capture, and it's so important, if not the most important age!
You stay on top of the baby photos, but then your child grows in to a beautiful person of their own and you have no idea where the time went. Their photography legacy has a huge hole in it when you look back. The worst part of not capturing this age? It's the last years you will get of them still as a child, full of wonder, and innocence, before they jump on over to the adult side of the world, with it's brutal honesty, hardships, and no return. 

See how we captured these beauties. <3
 

AND. An extra amazing bonus. Mom jumped in at the very end to capture this special time with her girls. They live right on Lake Huron so we got to photograph at their home. That day the water was so beautifully blue, it was the perfect visual ending to the summer.

Pin Up Party hosted by Port Huron Beauty Photographer AJBC Photography

3 years ago I did a Pin Up event with a retro teal Chevy Pick Up Truck. 
Ever since then girls have been asking me if and when I'm going to bring it back. 

Well... that time has come. 

We're bringing the Retro Pick Up Pin Up Party back for you girls PLUS some other amazing stuff!
Check it out!

(only 4 spots left now- 11:00 and 11:45 are booked!)

THIS time we'll be starting the morning off with Mimosas :) while you get your professional and classic pin up hair and makeup done. Red lips, cat eyes, curls, and bandanas. 

We suggest you bring your own wardrobe but we have some really cute pieces you can borrow or swap out once you get here, like adorable high wasted panty shorts!

Change and come OUTSIDE to the private 20 acres we'll be shooting amongst at my home studio. Feel free to climb around in, and on top of the truck, swirl around in our pond, or get lost in all the wild daisies on the property. We have several backdrops for whatever look you want to go for! 
Switch it up and come INSIDE for a clean pin up poster look like back in the day with adorable props to play with like old suitcases, cat eye classes, furry fabric, umbrellas, and so much more! 

---

AFTERWARDS you come back to the studio for your own private in studio viewing of your collection. 
Out of the collection you will get to pick your top 5 images to take home that day on a flash drive with pritning rights (I have a killer lab I can send you to as well!)
If you want to make yourself in to the gorgeous poster girl you deserve to be I'm also doing 10% off all art in the studio! 

---

So let's do this! Because I have NO clue when and if I'll ever do it again! And because you seriously haven't had this much fun since playing dress up as a little girl! 

There's no better way to feel beautiful and confident then to keep it classy and playful. 

$100 despot secures your spot and we can break the rest down in to payments.

A family session in London Ontario- pure happiness and true love

A look at family, happiness, and love through photographs.

A Family session shot in
London, Ontario Canada

   When I look through these images the first word that pops in to my head is innocence. Pure Innocence. The joy we see in the beautiful world around us because we are unknowing of anything we should fear.
   I envy children and their way of seeing the world.
   But if you look through these images, you’ll see Mom and Dad have that same look in their eyes, but it’s when they are looking at their daughter.   
   Oh, the magic of family, of happiness, and of true love.

Double Exposure In Camera Art with Port Huron, MI Photographer - AJBC Photography

As humans I feel as though we have a really important role to play in Nature.

We shouldn't fight it, or be above it, we should be one with it. 

See, alone, we are still a part of the Earth, it's hidden inside us, it makes up who we are; we are strong individuals who hold unique traits, shapes, stories, and souls. Just like Nature, we grow, we root ourselves, we look up to the sky, and one day we all exhale with both feet on the ground, forever planted. 

But when we seek to live and indulge ourselves in nature, we no longer stand alone, and that is a very beautiful thing. Beauty in a way we may never fully understand, for the vastness of it goes beyond just ourselves. 

It's raw at every level. 

And it lets us know we can become a part of something bigger, with no judgements, just simplicity at it's purest and most beautiful form. 

This series demonstrates that coming together through Double Exposure of Human and Nature.

All Double Exposure images were done IN camera, no editing or photoshop work has been done to achieve these looks.

Meet Raquelle. 

My main purpose of the shoot was to get beautiful Double Exposure images that told the story of Human Exposure and Nature. But once I saw how gorgeous she was all on her own, I knew we had to at least get a few shots showing that. Nothing distracting, not even professional hair and makeup, or a specific wardrobe. Just her and the camera. Natural Beauty.

I can never help myself from going outside though. And as of late, I really know where my heart belongs when it comes to who I am when I create, and Nature plays a very large part in that. I don't know what I would do if clients confined me to a studio for the rest of my days. 
Who wants to miss out on natural, literally, all the way around, natural beauty like this?
