It doesn't need to be a bright and warm day to capture beauty! Winter may have this dark and gloomy persona but some of the most gorgeous shots have been taken playing in the fresh snowfall, dancing in the white out fields, and climbing washed up ice mountains!

My Animal Instincts.

Empowerment Project. Self expression

The serpent came up and whispered softly in my ear,
"Have you heard? They're out to control you, my dear."

No fruit sweet enough to make me give in,
So right then and there I created my own sin.
And they looked down and shuttered at the thought.
"This freedom, these animals! What will we do with this lot?"

Burn us, cage us, hell, even fucking hope rape us.
Bruises, cuts, thorns, lashes.
We don't need your hope when we have our passions.

They threw me off the boat, told me it was time to swim.
Oh, but what you don't know, is I know how to control the wind.
I can block out the storm or create my own.
Flood this land, but my heart is my home.

I feel my heart race under my breast, under it's cage.
I feel my teeth grind over where my tongue has been laid.
Kick my bare feet, grip with my hands
That urge to become your human I'll never understand.

I am a warrior, I am a wild animal.
I was born naked, I was born to fight battles.

Paint my body black with the soot of your damned.
I see you meant now they were the ones who could stand
on their own two feet,
up for what they believe.
The damned were those who were not shaped ever so easily.

But me, I wear this snake as a necklace.
Me, I'm not afraid to eat your sinful fruit for breakfast.

I apply my war paint with just one finger.
I ask you watch it carefully, as it's a signal

I don't fear your opinion of me.  
Now call in your troops, I think you're going to need a bigger army.

I use Photography as a way to express myself and work through inner struggles. It's a way for me to process and let go of situations and emotions. I also hope they inspire others to let go and tell their own story in a powerful and artistic way.

Mother Nature and New Mother collide for Maternity Session

Summer Maternity shoot floating
on the water's surface

Natural Beauty at Sunset in Port Huron, MI

   Is ‘becoming a mother’ something you were born to do, or something you longed to do? It’s a natural, beautiful, inspiring process- creating an entire human with just your own body.
   Claudia was completely embracing this moment in her life and was ready to celebrate it as the organic and ethereal process it is through a photo shoot!
   While designing the shoot I wanted to work with nature and have it feel a bit fairy tale, a bit fashion, and a bit serene. Floating her on top of the water’s surface gave us that soft, maternal feeling. After that we embraced the raw aspect of pregnancy by showing off Claudia’s beautiful curves and enhancing her effortless beauty by stripping away all the unnecessary things and leaving her with just herself and that feeling of motherhood. This was also a graceful way to show off all of her artwork as well. Lastly we chased the sun as it set and celebrated soon to be baby Rory in a field of day lilies as the orange glow engulfed her.
   A few weeks later 1 became 2 and Claudia was officially a mother to a newborn.
   This experience was such an elegant way to end half this cycle... the end of pregnancyto enter into motherhood.

A Beauty Retreet and Photoshoot Event - St. Clair, Michigan

St. Clair Boudoir Photoshoot in Historic Mansion

Gorgeous Floral Milk Bath Sessions

---

   Shut the door, breathe in the scent of lavender, and feel your body sink below the surface of the warm water. Watch as the moisturizing milk bath floods over your curves and flower petals dance to the surface. 

   This is what we created for all the women who signed up for our Beauty Retreat.

   The whole day was spent in a 3 story Mansion in St. Clair that was over 100 years old. The ladies were pampered right from the beginning, as the morning started out with professional hair and makeup done in a vintage bathroom, complete with a baby chandelier. 

   The first portion of their shoot was Boudoir, where they had 6 private bedrooms to choose from to get photographed in. So exquisite and classy. These ladies did an amazing job with wardrobe. We provided them with a Style Guide for what we thought would be perfect for the location and they couldn't have done better! Timeless pieces of sheer fabric, lace, pearls, diamonds... my gosh. 

   After that was the Milk Bath portion. Each girl had her private shoot complete in a claw foot tub, adorned with gorgeous fresh flowers from Christopher's Flowers in Port Huron. This was a first for ajbc photography and to be honest, I'm officially obsessed with the look! 

   Afterwards each lady got a little black book, and even though some say the portraits were for their significant other, we all know the experience it's self was a very personal and empowering adventure every woman will be able to be enjoy every time they revisit those pieces of art they created with us!
