Another December upon us. Another Christmas Mini Shoot!
Every year I'm completely lucky and have the cutest families and kids come visit me for the holidays. We gather up everything sparkly and pretty and design a Christmas set for them.
This year we drug the studio bed outside and decorated the trees with bulbs. It turned out so magical. The little ones looked like little peanuts on the bed! And the families crammed in together for a really cozy Christmas portrait.
For it being December in Michigan, we TOTALLY lucked out that each day the weather was 45 degrees or better.
Take a look at the little friends that came to visit, some of them even all the way from London, Ontario, Canada!

I met Jain Darling through Alfie Jean when we did a shoot for The Luscious Ladies.
No wardrobe was provided, no hair and makeup artist. This girl just nailed everything, herself, head to toe.
Because this is shot in a bedroom it does has that boudoir touch to it, but not by toady's standards. In a day where beauty was about curves, class, and just a touch of sass, Jain Darling is taking us back to that time, and making us jealous we can't stay there and look as good as she does! Oh to look this flawless when you brush your hair! I swear she has a way about her that is so delicate, yet demanding of your attention, and I love it!

Say hello to Alfie Jean. The cutest little lady you will ever meet. I promise you, yes, she was born in this time, yes, this is present day, and yes, she has this much class.
When you talk to her she instantly transports you back in time though. The way she presents herself, and the way she speaks to you, her beauty is one of a kind, starting on the inside.
She holds her own classes, empowering women and giving them tips on how to live the lifestyle of a pin up, because this isn't a hobby for Alfie- this is her way of life, which is a bit envious.
I was lucky enough to work for her during a Luscious Ladies shoot we did in St. Clair, Michigan at Memories Manor. See what we created together here:

A few years ago I had done a portrait session of myself for my website. You can see what I'm talking about in my my bio, here.
My husband shot the photos and I remember saying to him, I just wish my clients would trust me. I wish I could find someone who when I say I want to go to a muddy field they get it, and go.
That day finally came, and it was with a beautiful girl named Jessika from Algonac High School.
We met before hand, like I always do with my girls, and talked about how we wanted to embrace the natural look, sit in a field of wild flowers, splash in the water. When it came to the day of shooting I told them, there's a corner about 2 mins down the road filled with amazing wild flowers right now. If you don't mind being next to the side of the road and a ditch, we can go. And so we went. And the results are simple, and breathtaking, all at once.
It started to sprinkle and that little bit of grey was exactly what we needed to take her images from every day, to something that looks totally ethereal. Not to mention the way Jessika holds herself in front of the camera, it's stunning all the way around.
When we got done and were running back to our cars I looked over and saw a field newly plowed and just loved the texture. Remember when I said I just wanted to find someone who would love a barren, muddy old field, just like me? This is why. Jessika hopped right in, posed, and ended up looking like she should be in an urban outfitters magazine.
The next set was taken right at the AJBC Photography Home Studio.
After that we headed downtown to mix up our looks. And man, does she rock this edgier downtown look too.
Finally, as the sun was about to set, we got to play in the water! I was just in aw as she sat there, perched on top of the log, dress floating in the water, her hand delicately leaving ripples in the surface, at how gorgeous she was, especially in that moment.
