Thanks to this Port Huron High Senior, Color Guard is my new favorite sport. It probably does help that Janelle also does Power Lifting, so her fierce strength with the weights allows her to carelessly spin her flags in the air and make it look so magical. And believe me, seeing it in person early in the morning at sunrise on the shores of Lake Huron while the sun slowly reached over the clouds and bounced back on the water was truly peaceful and stunning. Look at the images, her skin is literally sparkling.  

   It was awesome to watch as Janelle transitioned from this soft, Color Guard Cinderella, to a beautiful 17 year old girl hanging out on a Fall day, to a strong, confident weight lifter, and ended on a grungy, sassy look hidden under an old train trestle track. She pulled off all looks perfectly.

Port Huron Northern High School Senior Model Inspired 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...

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-
