Senior Session or Fashion Editorial... You decide.

Bohemian Senior Session-
grace in your heart and flowers in your hair

Pro Golfer worthy shots at Lakeview Hills Golf Course

   Flowers in her long blond hair, wind and sunshine dancing on her skin. Sam's photoshoot was one of the first shoots we did this year and it set the beauty bar high! Not only is she gorgeous she's genuinely the sweetest!

   We had a total girls day- picking flowers, going to the beach, and then ending the day with ice cream after our shoot! Oh, we also did a little golfing, and off-roading on the gold course.

   Sam really wanted her images to feel warm, and have that "glow" so it figures the day of her shoot clouds had been covering the sky all day. I assured her photoshop could fix what mother nature left out for us and we decided to do the shoot. When we walked out to the field to shoot we had no idea we were going to find an elegant explosion of wild flowers. It was honestly the best surprise. We had no idea this outfit was going to turn out THIS stunning, sometimes you have to ditch your plans and just let things flow and follow what feels right.

  After that we shot at the Lakeview Hills Golf Course where we had 9 holes completely to ourselves, and a cart to explore with! I love how professional she looks in all of those portraits, not to mention the look of a true athlete.

   We ended on the beach with HIGH winds. The waves were crashing at least 15 feet up the side of the rocks. It was amazing to watch, and a little intimidating. Normally you wouldn't think hurricane winds would be ideal conditions for a Senior Beauty Photoshoot but I was instantly excited about it! Her hair flew everywhere- it really gave the portraits that organic, care free vibe, not to mention a look you just can't create on a normal day. And then finally... like she hoped, the sun peeked out and we ended on that magical note.

Elise- Port Huron Highschool Senior Session

Senior Session showcasing Dance, Singing,
and Color Guard Talents

Ethereal and Retro Style Senior Shoot
in downtown Port Huron

   I like to think we all have a secret “us” hiding inside,
waiting for the world to either accept us,
or waiting for us to accept it’s time for the world to meet us!
Meet Elise, this is her AJBC story.

   The first time I met Elise she was a cute Senior about to graduate, what some may call shy, but ever so sweet.
   We planned her shoot around her many talents- dance, color guard, photography, and singing. Not many people could have a shoot that encompassed so many beautiful and expressive talents, but Elise is honestly probably hiding more.
   The day came and we started out with more outfits than you can imagine! They FILLED the studio. Dance costumes from recitals, gowns, fashionable pieces, jewelry passed down from family, yards and yards of fabric and fun props. You could tell we weren’t just about to photograph a Senior, she was about to put on a live show for us, and that she did.
   Our first look was pointe, and to be honest, we photographed this look on a back dirt road, partially in a ditch.  We let the dust settle and then… Elise began to flow. Her body was calm yet precise and it was beautiful to watch.
   Next we headed downtown where she took what many would look at as a basic flag and turned it into visual art. But this is where we saw this inner fierceness come alive! Pure magic!
   After that we played it a bit more low key, cute city girl look in a coffee shop. We did some fun hair whips, got some drinks, and captured her sweet side, for sure.
   Lastly we headed back to the studio where Elise boldly rocked this red sequined gown, while looking ever so timeless. I’ve never seen someone morph so effortlessly, so flawlessy.

   Elise, all these characters you rock, that fire you hold deep in you, let them rage, lady!

Port Huron Senior Spring Session

A Senior Photoshoot in studio and on location

Hiding among the Spring blossoms

   A sweet girl with fantastic hair and a sassy fur baby- all those things make for a killer Senior Photoshoot.
   Alex is Class of 2017. When most Seniors do their shoot in Summer or Fall, she waited for Spring and it was perfect!    We started the adventure off by doing some hair whips in the studio, then fanning out all those curls over her music sheets. I’m sorry, but when you come to me with gorgeous, thick locks like that you must allow me to 1- touch them 2- continue to talk about them 3- show them off.
   Next we drove 10 mins out into the middle of nowhere where we could get some nice grungy shots under a bridge next to the river and let her Huskey pup run wild! Angel, Alex’s mom, was there too. She was our lookout for when cars drove over the bridge, and to let us know we wouldn’t be dying, because when you’re UNDER the bridge and a car drives over, the sound makes you think you’re sure you’re about to die in that moment. haha She gracefully made her way in cute ankle boots over wobbly sharp rocks, which Elores, my assistant, would warn us if we were about to die on or not too, testing to see how wobbly they were before we got there! As I said before- it’s going to be amazing, I never promised it was going to be easy. And that’s why we call this an experience, not just a shoot.
   When we pulled up we opened our doors to the most beautiful overgrown bush I have ever seen, full of beautiful pink and white blossoms. Thank you mother nature- this will work stunningly for our black dress outfit with pink and silver balloons! And of course, we plucked off some blossoms and put them in her hair.
   We finished the shoot off tucked away in the trees just as the sun was setting. Alex’s adorable smile and easy going attitude made for the cutest casual shots I’ve ever taken. Just her, as she is in that moment, never to be the same again, captured in the sunset before graduating. So bittersweet.

Port Huron Senior shows off 4 styles in this teen guy photoshoot.

Senior guy transforms from casual to model during his photo shoot

Class of 2017 Senior goes street performer.

Let’s rewind to 2 years ago when I was looking for a model for a personal project I was working on and got hooked up with Audrey. Since then we’ve done 2 personal projects together that remain in my top 10 fav projects I’ve ever created!
   She has a shy but adorably sarcastic boyfriend that she’s been with for 3 years. She recommend him to me and they ended up booking a last minute Senior shoot. To make things even more ironic he, his mom, and his younger brother walked through the door and I instantly realized I photographed his little brother YEARS ago when I very first got into photography. Now it had come full circle, back to him. Not it was Matt’s turn!
   We started out in the studio with a black leather jacket and side swept hair that totally reminded me of an Outsiders vibe, which between the laughs he totally nailed! We then ventured outside where we did everything from climb over downed trees, hide under wooded forts, walk down railroad tracks laid in the river, and even got desperate and had to bust out the trombone case and turn into a street performer to get us to the next location.
   There was a lot of laughing and silly sly looks but Matt totally pulled off 4 different looks that I think secretly showed off all his personalities he might hide away until the time is right.

You have to watch our Behind The Scenes film to fully appreciate Matt's personality. It makes me laugh and smile every time!
