Shamrock Rugby, A Pure Michigan Fall Day and OWEN!

If this session looks familiar to you it’s because Owen’s big bro Aiden was on this blog a couple years ago and Owen is also a Detroit Catholic Central Shamrock – except this time the sport is RUGBY!  Owen and his mom (and our longtime friend) Kelly joined us for a great time at CC as well as a little time at the studio and we got some fantastic stuff….  Let’s take a look!

Owen Crushes It

We started on location at CC:

Owen

Home field advantage!

There’s really so much to work with for our Shamrocks on that beautiful campus… and we also have some fun behind the scenes first from Instagram:

Owen

Looking good Owen!!!

At this point we headed back to the studio and here’s a little more behind the scenes from Facebook:

And we’ll leave you with this last LIT pic:

Great way to end it!  Hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Owen!

Brennan Brings It In Detroit and In The Studio For Senior Pics!

Brennan brings it indeed in these highlights from his recent senior session and we aren’t surprised… We’ve been photographing this dude for pretty much his whole life going back to family pics and his bar mitzvah (photographed by our awesome event photographer Angela) along with his older sis Riley for her senior pics, and so on and so on…..so we knew this would be a great time with Brennan and his mom Monique.  We go wayyyyyyy back – they’re family really.  So let’s get to some highlights!

Brennan Brings It

Let’s do the Detroit pics first:

Brennan

STUD.

We also have some fun behind the scenes first from Instagram at the DIA:

We used a couple of our favorite “secret” doorways like the one above and this one hehe…

Brennan

So cool!

Here’s a little more behind the scenes from Facebook downtown:

Back at the studio

Back at the studio we got some hockey and letterjacket shots – Brennan is a Walled Lake Northern Knight playing for the combined Walled Lake hockey squad.

Brennan

Dude es en fuego.

And we’ll leave you with this one in the hoodie:

Brennan

Great one to end on…

So there you have it – Brennan brings it and then we bring it to you!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

Fore! Fire! Fall! Fabulousness! Senior Pictures with Meredith!

Fabulousness!!!  Yep.  This senior session with Meredith had a little of everything and this girl SLAYED.  She’s a legacy Walled Lake Northern Knight for us since we photographed her big sis Meg a couple years back and we love this fam.  Mom Carolyn joined us and dad Darren was able to meet us as well for part of the session for what was a PERFECT October day for being outside photographing.  

Fabulousness

Okay let’s do this – here are some highlights.

First the FORE and the FIRE!!!  As in, well the portrait speaks for itself….

Fabulousness

So cool – not to mention Meredith got a hole in one in her final round as a senior on the golf team – how amazing is that?  We also have some fun behind the scenes first from Instagram:

Next we have FALL!  There is always a short window to get this one bush that “burns” for a short while each Fall and we got it for that Pure Michigan feel with our girl:

Fabulousness

Gorgeous!  Let’s also give a shout out to Mandy Rose from Mandy Rose Studio for Meredith’s beautiful hair and makeup!

Our one regret for this post is that we couldn’t find a good word for books, reading, or library that starts with “F” lol…  But the photo in and of itself makes up for it just FINE.  Hehe…see what we did there?

Fabulousness

It seems like at least once per year we have a senior who is a voracious reader and we love this vibe for senior pics.  

At this point we bounced around for some other outdoor photos and here’s some more behind the scenes from Facebook:

And we’ll leave you with this beautiful photo of Meredith at the lake with a gorgeous sky and some off camera FLASH…

Fabulousness

STUNNING.

And there you have it – fabulousness indeed and we hoped you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Meredith!

Noah’s Nifty Senior Pictures In The Heart Of Detroit!

We are psyched to present these highlights of Noah’s Nifty Senior Session in the heart of Detroit!!!  What a great kid, and we had a fantastic time in the D on a perfect day with Noah, his mom Lauren and her boyfriend Corey.  We even hit a spot or two we didn’t know about which is always cool for us.  Obviously there are tons of spots in Detroit.  So let’s get to the pics of this class of 2024 Frankel Jewish Academy Jaguar!

Noah’s Nifty Pics

Our first stop was Comerica Park where the Miggy retirement celebration was in full effect and we got this photo in front of the huge Tiger…

A roaring good photo huh?

Now let’s zoom in on our guy for a few…

An outfit change later:

Nifty

Looking nifty indeed!  We also have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook:

Next stop Eastern Market!

Nifty

One more destination – Belle Isle – and first we headed to the fountain which was actually on – here’s some behind the scenes from Instagram:

And last but not least – Noah plays baseball for the Jags too – so you don’t want this smoke coming from the pitcher’s mound….

Nifty

How bad ass is that one?

So there you have it!  What a day, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights!

Fiery Antics With Anthony and More on His Spokesmodel Session!

Bringing home the class of 2024 senior spokesmodel crew with the dudes!  Anthony crushed it – you might even say he was on FIRE!!!  We weren’t surprised – Anthony is a great kid and we go wayyyyyy back with his parents.  His dad John and Doug were football teammates at Michigan so we’re talking 35 years…  pretty surreal to have Anthony here representing the Catholic Central Shamrocks for our spokesmodel team!  His mom Lynne joined us at the studio for these epic photos – let’s get to them…

Fiery Antics With Anthony

Anthony is a student athlete and he works hard at his craft whether on the gridiron or in the shot put and discus circles (and especially in the weight room) and we wanted to capture that grit and badassery so….

Anthony

Like we said…..dude was on FIRE!!!

Here’s some fun behind the scenes as well first from Facebook:

After the flames died down we got to the business of capturing more angles of our guy’s personality of which he has plenty!

Anthony

Looking great!

Anthony

Smiling Shamrock!

We also changed backdrops to get a few on the white – our seniors typically try out plenty of different looks, backdrops, and locations too!  Here’s some more behind the scenes from Instagram:

Awesome!  
 
Anthony killed it!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our session with him and we can’t wait for the class of 2024!  It’s practically here….

Ryan Rocks His Senior Pictures Which Had A Little Of Everything!

Ryan rocks – what a great kid!  We went to high school with his mom Missy and we had a blast with them along with dad Jon on a cold snowy day in Detroit, along with some pics back at the studio and the finale in the Clarkston Wolves hockey team locker room!  Plenty of laughs, and as the title suggests, this session had a little of everything – even Barley their Bernese Mountain Dog!  So let’s get to the highlights!

Ryan Rocks

As mentioned we headed to Detroit first where we got this cool shot:

Ryan Rocks

Love a little urban decay…

We have some behind the scenes from Belle Isle too on Facebook:

Back to the studio we went first for a little fire!

Last stop – the locker room at the Detroit Skating Club!

Ryan Rocks

Such a cool look with the jersey and the team logo on the carpet!

Ryan rocks indeed – we had such a blast with them.  Ryan reminds us of our own son Tony a little and as of right now he thinks he wants to be a police officer.  He would be a great one.  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our time with him!

In A Pure Michigan Mood With Merrick For Senior Pictures!

We love being in a Pure Michigan Mood – when the fall colors are in full swing and we have a fun senior to photograph?  It doesn’t get much better than that, and Merrick brought his A game!  Merrick has been in front of Ally’s camera several times now going back to when he was little, and most recently as a senior spokesmodel for the class of 2023!  We headed out on a brisk fall day for this session and got some great stuff – check out these highlights!

Pure Michigan Mood with Merrick

We hit some spots around West Bloomfield starting with this one which is one of our faves:

Michigan Mood

Awesome!

We also have some fun behind the scenes from one of our favorite burning red fall trees on Facebook:

And here’s the result:

Michigan Mood

Spectacular!

At this point we planned to get a couple on the track since Merrick is a runner (he comes from a long line of runners) and all around great athlete!  We got some snow flurries which we used to great effect on this next one.  Merrick’s mom Melissa joined us for this series on location and we had a few laughs!  Merrick is a total badass…

Michigan Mood

You’re only cold in your head – it’s all mental!!!

At this point it was time to head back to the studio where we got a little more behind the scenes this time on Instagram:

Carly Takes Over The Studio For Carly Ann Fit Fitness Photos!

Carly is awesome.  We are so impressed with this young lady and we’re not surprised since we’ve known her parents for decades – I grew up with her mom and played high school football and ran track with her dad so it was a little surreal having her here ready to launch her coaching business Carly Ann Fit to the next level with some fresh new fitness photos!

You can follow Carly at her Instagram page – she takes the whole approach of mind, body and soul with her clients and she’s a motivational dynamo with a 90 day transformation plan for her peeps!  Let’s get to the highlights of her session!

Carly Ann Fit Fitness Photos!

Fitness Photos

What a bad ass pose.  And Carly will be the first to tell you that SHE worked really hard to get the body she has now – gotta love a fitness coach that is walking the walk.  We also have some fun behind the scenes from the session first on Facebook:

Carly then changed into a few different outfits and here’s just a sampling of poses and style that captures her brand:

Aiden Is The Man And His Senior Picture Session (Sham)Rocked!

Aiden came to us by way of his mom Kelly whom we’ve known for many years – I (Doug) worked with Kelly and we were in the M.B.A. program at Wayne State together!  We’ve been friends a long time and it was really cool to hang with her and her son for his senior pics!  Aiden is a Catholic Central Shamrock – a football player and shot put / discus thrower for the track team – just a great kid (not that I’m surprised)!!!  We had a pretty neat game plan for him including some studio work, some FIRE, and some location photos at the CC campus, so let’s get to some highlights!
 

Aiden (Sham)Rocked!

We started in the studio for a formal look on the black background:

Aiden
That’s a good looking dude!
 
Next we decided to get some track and field action and some FIRE!!!  This was the first time we photographed discus fire!
 
Aiden
We also have some behind the scenes fun from this photo on Instagram!

At this point we headed over to Catholic Central and took some pictures at the football field and the campus.  Aiden’s dad Eric stopped by as well (I think to bring the football as I recall)!
 
Aiden
Go Shamrocks!
 
Here’s some behind the scenes at the stadium from Facebook
 

And we’ll leave you with one more of our guy!
 
Aiden
And there you have it!  Aiden’s session (Sham)rocked indeed and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!
