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:

And we’ll leave you with this result on the white…
Anthony
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!

Ryan Rocks

Stud…

We have some behind the scenes from that pic as well from Instagram:

Ryan Rocks

A boy and his best friend!!!

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!

A Little Fire, A Little Fall Flava With Faris On His Senior Session!

Faris is a legacy with big shoes to fill – his sister Nora‘s portrait has been hanging in the studio for a couple years from her senior session!  But we have to say Faris was totally up for the challenge and created plenty of magic on his own with some FIRE and some FALL FLAVA!  Great kid, great family – we were not surprised in the least.  Mom & Dad Rajaa & Elias are delightful and we have a great time hanging with them.  Now let’s get to some highlights!

Fall Flava & Fire with Faris!

We started on location and we were able to get some cool fall colors – mostly some shades of maize first in the background of the meadow…

Faris

 

Good looking dude!

We also have some fun behind the scenes from that photo on Instagram:

Faris

 

At this point we headed back to the studio where we went with some sports and some style… First the sports with a little West Bloomfield Laker pride – and the FIRE!!! ⚽️🔥

Faris

 

Here is some more behind the scenes of the fire on Facebook:

Lastly we’ll go with the formal look on the grey paper:

Faris

 

What a stud – what a session!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Faris!

A Smokin’ Senior Picture Session With Taylor – Literally!

Wow.  Let’s just say we’re pretty DARN excited to share these highlights from Taylor’s senior session…. We fell in love with both Taylor and her mom Charese pretty much immediately.  You can just tell when you connect with your people, and we laughed our butts off on this session – we just had a blast and the results, well….you’ll see.  Meanwhile Taylor is a senior at Detroit Country Day and she’s adorable.  Funny, smart, beautiful, artistic, athletic – a quintuple threat, and we actually broke this session up into two days because we had some specialized strategies laid out to capture what we wanted, so let’s get to the highlights!

Smokin’ Session With Taylor

Okay so actually the smokin’ part happened on the second day.  The first day we started in the studio and we’ll start there:

Taylor

So cute!

We also have some behind the scenes – first from Instagram:

At this point we headed outdoors to Birmingham where our favorite little tree was in full Pure Michigan mode!  We only get this tree in the fall for a short window each year so we are always so excited when we do!  Here’s a little more behind the scenes from Facebook and we have to give props to Taylor who was a real trooper because it was quite chilly…

We also got some yellows and oranges – all the Pure Michigan feels!

Taylor

LOVE that one – the sweater was perfection for this photo.

Now for day two.  We headed over to the track at Detroit Country Day where Taylor’s peeps were practicing – cheerleaders, football – she had an audience!  And we had a WARM evening which was great.  We’re obsessed with how these came out with a little off camera flash combined with some incredible natural lighting…

Taylor

Wow right???

Now for the SMOKIN’ part…  and first one more behind the scenes video from Facebook:

And the smoke:

Taylor

Oh yeah…..

And there you have it!  A smokin’ session indeed with this young lady, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Shae’s Session of Senior Pictures Is A Sure Thing!

Shae is such a good natured dude – we knew this session would be a sure thing when we met with him.  We did some really cool stuff and Shae enjoyed himself for sure!  His younger twin sisters Tori and Savannah joined us along with his mom Julie and we had a great time!  Shae is a class of 2021 senior and he’s all about hoops so we did a little of that, a little bit of the Pure Michigan fall color look, and yep – it turned out to be a sure thing – a winner of a session!  Let’s get to the highlights:

A Sure Thing With Shae

We started out in the studio with a little FIRE!

Sure Thing

How cool!  We also have some behind the scenes from this photo on Facebook:

At this point we headed out to a couple locations – first on the trail network to one of our faves:

The kid is photogenic AF.

Atta Girl Abby! You Owned This Senior Session! We love it!

As you know we always look to come up with fun catchy titles for our blog posts and we don’t usually “talk to our seniors” in the title.  But we’re not sorry – we’re doing it because we think it’s fun – like Abby!  She’s got just a hint of snark (which we love) to go with her adorable which she also has plenty of.  We had a perfect day for her session and it wasn’t the first time she’s appeared on our blog – the first time was for her bat mitzvah just four short years ago!  Both of her parents came to the session which also made for a fun time – I (Doug) especially loved Adam trolling me about my lighting assistance for Ally pretty much the whole time.  Hehe….  In all seriousness we enjoy Adam and Lorie a lot and have actually known them for many years now going back to when our kids were in elementary school together.  So let’s get to Abby’s pics shall we?
 

Atta Girl Abby!

So Abby is an athlete – a soccer player like her sister Elizabeth but while we did studio soccer pics with her sister, with Abby we took it to the field at WBHS and got some really cool stuff… like this one:

Atta Girl Abby

SOOOO COOL!!!  Go Lakers!

We also have some fun behind the scenes first from the livestream we did on Facebook Live:

At this point we headed to Birmingham to get some natural photos at Quarton Lake…
 
Atta Girl Abby
Beautiful!  Let’s give a shout out here to Francie Fruitman for the makeup, and we also have some more behind the scenes fun this time from Instagram TV
