An Incredible Photo Restored From 1922 – Over A Century Ago!

by
No Comments
We love restoring old photos that people bring us – the stories we learn and being able to give them new life when we bring back the detail in a faded memory is just so rewarding!  This one was no exception.
 
When Diane brought this incredible 1922 photo (she’s pretty sure it was either ’22 or ’23) which included her dad and grandparents we were mesmerized.  What a photo!  But it was 100 years old and fading fast… 
 

An Incredible Photo Restored From 1922

 
Here’s the story of the photo from Diane:
 
“These were immigrants who came here (legally-lol) for a better life from Crni Lug, Croatia in the early 1900’s.  This picture was taken 1922-23 in Shingleton, Michigan.  The bride and groom are Josephine (Stimac) and Frank Lisak. The couple with the baby carriage are Joseph and Antonia Stimac.  The small boy in the carriage is my father Raymond.   Antonia died a year later from tuberculosis.  I received the picture which had been stored in a box for years.”
 
 
1922
We are pretty pleased with the result – we were able to bring back most of the detail, clean up the damage and recover this incredible scene.  Take a look…
 
1922
Just a fantastic moment in time over a century ago – recovered and restored!

Raechele and Tim Have Such A Great Family! Much Fun!

by
No Comments

Family portraits are a lot of fun for us here at the studio, and Raechele and Tim’s crew were no exception!  They were a delight to have here and their two sons Mercer and Ellis did a great job!  Listen, we get it that young teenaged boys don’t necessarily dream about getting dressed up in suits to pose for photos, but these two were total gentlemen and they made the best of it!  We had plenty of laughs and a generally great time.  Everyone looked great and we’ve got some outstanding results to share!!!

Let’s get to it.

Raechele, Tim, Mercer and Ellis!

Let’s start with the whole group:

Raechele

Yes!  A classic portrait!

We also have a little behind the scenes fun from Facebook:

And now the happy couple:

Raechele

We are fans. 

Now we’ve got the dudes in the spotlight:

Raechele

Handsome young men!

We’ll leave you with one more:

Raechele

They crushed it!

So there you have it!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our time with Raechele, Tim, Mercer and Ellis!

We love photographing celebrations – who doesn’t love a sports themed bar mitzvah?  We actually photographed Ari when he was a toddler so this was pretty cool to be a part of his special day as he takes his place as a man in the Jewish tradition!  He crushed it at services and the party was a banger!  Let’s take a look at the highlights of the celebration with Ari and his family on their special day shall we?

No Comments

We have always been fans of photographing folks in traditional dress no matter the ethnicity – all of the colors are so beautiful!  And when the family’s beauty inside and out matches the beauty of the clothing?  Perfection!  We are big fans of Happie and Bertram and their family and we were able to capture them at the studio as well as on location – we’ve been looking forward to sharing these highlights!

Happie, Bertram and their Happy Family!

Let’s start with the studio photos and a couple different looks beginning with casual:

Happie

What a delightful and gorgeous crew!

From casual to formal…

Happie

Love that family hug!

Now we go from formal to traditional!  Here’s the first combo from the behind the scenes on Facebook:

And the next one on the purple…

Let’s now share one on location at the house with the extended crew to finish it off…

Getting the Job Done With Jonathan and the Fam For Senior Pictures!

by
No Comments

When Jonathan’s mom Bucci walked into the studio to say she needed senior pictures for her son we had a good feeling right off the bat – some people just bring the good energy and this is a family that is loaded with it.  And as for Jonathan, we were really impressed with this guy!  A student-athlete, a West Bloomfield Laker and an all around good kid.  His senior session was a winner and the fam jumped in for a few portraits as well, so let’s get to some highlights!

Getting the job done with Jonathan

Jonathan

Looking good Jonathan!

We actually hit a few spots around West Bloomfield and here’s a little fun behind the scenes from Instagram at Orchard Lake:

We’re fans.

Back to the main man…

by
No Comments

Erma turns 90 only once, so when her family gathered together to celebrate her it was really special!  We were thrilled to be a part of their weekend with these amazing family portraits!  You couldn’t have ordered a more perfect day either over the 4th of July weekend and we met them at Tam-O-Shanter Country Club for the proceedings… let’s get to a few highlights!

Erma Turns 90

Let’s talk about Erma for a second – what a character!  She’s so funny – she kept saying we had to pay her to take her picture – haha!  You’ll get a feel for how much fun we had with her and her wonderful family with multiple generations on hand in this behind the scenes livestream from Facebook:

And here are a few highlighted photos – we mixed it up and took photos of each family unit and lots of combinations!

Erma Turns 90

Ibrahim Turns One Month Old And Brings The Fam In For Portraits!

by
No Comments

Ibrahim turned a month old and brought his parents to the studio for one of the most adorable photo sessions of ALL TIME!  He along with his dad Ibrahim and his mom Cynthia make up one of the cutest families you’ll see – they had matching “mom”, “dad” and soccer baby shirts and we just had so much fun with them…  So let’s get to some highlights!

Ibrahim turns one month old!

This session was all in the studio and Ibrahim was really a perfect subject – no meltdowns – he didn’t even poop while he was here!  Such an alert and mellow little dude!

Ibrahim

Is there anything more beautiful than when a baby makes three?

We also have behind the scenes first from Facebook – and as you can see our neighbors Toyology Toys down the hall came through with a little soccer ball!

Next we have a couple with just mom and just dad…

Ibrahim

LOVE that little jersey!

Ibrahim

Love this.  Such love in this portrait!

Here’s the fun behind the scenes TikTok:

No Comments

Turning one is pretty cool.  Theo should know – he just did it.  And he brought his brothers and parents to the studio to celebrate the milestone with some portraits – and some balloons – and a CAKE SMASH (which by the way wasn’t the first time for this family)!  Let’s take a look at a few of the highlights shall we?

Theo

That’s a happy dude!

Now let’s bring in the big bros!

Theo

One more of the main man before we get to the smash…

Theo

Now here we’ve got some behind the scenes from the cake smash on Facebook:

And the yummy result!

That face!!!

Well there you have it – a smashing good time with Theo indeed!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights!

Kollyns Is The Most Adorable Almost 6 Month Old We Know!

by
No Comments

Melyssa was once known (and still is as far as we’re concerned) as the “Frameable Faces Fairy” and she’s a legend here!  She and her family have become friends of ours over the years (here’s a throwback to a session of Melyssa and her sisters) and she recently brought her THIRD child to the studio – almost-6-month-old Kollyns!  Hard for us to believe!  And Kollyns is such an adorable smush.  We loved having her here and we need to show you these highlights!

Kollyns is adorable

Simple and scrumptious – we’re going to let these photos mostly speak for themselves.

Kollyns

That smile!!!

Kollyns

She’s awesome.  We also have a little fun behind the scenes from Facebook:

And these next two are the end…
Kollyns
Hehe…..
Kollyns
LOVE!  Kollyns is delicious and we hope you enjoyed this little taste of her session!
