Port Huron Northern High School Senior Model Inspired Shoot

Senior finds her inner model
during photo shoot

A Down Town Alley and Country Back Roads-
a Port Huron Senior Session

   Back in the studio we couldn’t stop talking about Marissa and “that look.” I still don’t know exactly what it is but she just has this subtly unique look that fools me in to thinking she’s a fashion model every time I look at her portraits. But it’s not 3 layers of makeup and crazy hair dye. It’s just that natural beauty she’s rocking.
   Marissa sent me two images to plan for her session- a girl in a back alley and a girl sitting in the middle of the road with mountains in the background.
   The mountains I knew I couldn’t get her.... but beautiful hills in the middle of a Michigan Fall, I could do that! And the alley ironically looked identical to a little back alley we use in Down Town Port Huron.
   We went from back roads to city, jeans to a dress. She did fabulous at both places, carelessly and flawlessly.
  But don’t take my word for it- see for yourself!

Memphis High School Senior Session

open spaces at sunset-
a freeing Senior Session

A new mom celebrates life and Senior year with her family

   A family of 3 walk in to my studio. Mom is a Senior in High School and coming to plan her Senior Session. Dad is here to be supportive and take care of little baby girl so Mom can have her time. And baby girl just lays there with those big eyes that make you melt. I instantly fall in love with them as a family, and then we take beautiful portraits together.

    I guess that’s the shortened version of this whole story, and straight to the point- I just adore these guys!

    Paige is so impressive. She’s in the busiest stage of her life as she is about to graduate from high school, she power lifts and does cross fit, and on top of all that she’s a fantastic mom (and new fiancé- yay!)

   Paige had two requests for her session.
First and most important for her portraits- that feeling of being Free.
Something light, whimsical, open spaces.
Second- incorporating her mom's (who had passed) Senior portrait in to her session.

    At a time where most Seniors are going through phases of thinking about themselves first, it seemed that Paige’s attention would always shift from herself back to her family. I wanted her to take this moment for herself, to take time to celebrate her, because at no matter what age, mom’s need and deserve that. This was HER time to shine. It was OK to JUST think about herself. But I get it now. When some Senior’s want to include their sports, hobbies, cars, instruments because it’s what’s most important to them at the time and represents who they are, that’s exactly what Paige wanted to do too, incorporate what meant the most to her at this stage in her life. So I let her.

   And this is the amazing beauty that happened...

Retro Family Love

Retro Camper Summer Family Photo shoot

A Redone Vintage Shasta Trailer,  Fuzzy Show bunnies,
and some pin up love!

   Imagine yourself going back in time for a minute where women were classy and sassy, kids were sweet, and love was real. You’ll get these guys, what we’ve been referring to in the studio as “Retro Love” because they just don’t make families like they used to... families like this one!      Yes, Stacy always looks this fabulous. And yes, this really is their Vintage Shasta camper that they redid all on their own!
   If that isn’t enough to keep you scrolling through these adorable moments, just wait until you get to the fluffy bunnies! I know... Pure magic! This little girl was such a proud, responsible mama to her fuzzy babes, who happen to be show bunnies!
   And let’s not forget about those boys! Goofy, sweet, typical boys that love bikes and rolling around on the ground.
   We had such an amazing time photographing this! They hauled the camper to the studio, backed it up, we set up shop, and I just melted in to the background like a fly on the wall with my camera as they played games, giggled, poked fun, and enjoyed life together.

Port Huron High School Senior Shoot

Senior Session at Sunset
in Lake Michigan

fierce Cheerleading and powerlifting
Big Reds senior at Memorial Stadium

   Long blonde hair, kissed by the sun, and blue water up to your chin. Waves crashing on the rocks, a white sundress, a huge Indian head dress.
     I’m not describing a movie scene, I’m just setting you up for the first part of Nathalie’s Senior shoot.
    Nathalie and her mom came to me with very creative, solid ideas. They knew what they wanted. They had a vision. They lift it up to me to piece it all together beautifully.
   These images represent more to me than just a beautiful Senior girl. They represent how beautiful and fun the world can be, how special life is.
   During the whole session Nathalie was a little shy, but had the biggest smile and genuine laugh. I knew instantly we were going to catch moments that so many others try so hard to fake. Genuine happiness. Natural Beauty.
   See for yourself-
