Landscape Photos In The National Parks Of The American West!

We took an epic road trip through the American West in May/June – just Ally, Doug, Lacey and Tony in a Ford Escape.

15 days, 13 states, 9 National Parks, national forests, visits with friends in multiple cities, 3 homes of United States presidents….  whew.  It was AWESOME.

Ally doesn’t always bring her camera on our trips but she did on this one and took some landscape photos – a change of pace for her with the greatest outdoor subjects imaginable!  America’s National Parks!

Now keep in mind she didn’t document the entire trip – we highly recommend you check out the companion piece to this post at Doug’s History blog at his M10 Social website for the entire story, tons of commentary, videos, tips and recommendations for your own roadtrip (you should definitely do it).  Doug is a very good amateur iPhoneographer and we did a lot of hiking on this trip and Ally wasn’t about to take her bulky camera on strenuous hikes.  But the photos Ally did take?  Well….

Prairie Dogs at Badlands National Park

How awesome are those Prairie Dogs?????  Roberts Prairie Dog Town at Badlands National Park is amazing.  There are prairie dogs in several different locations at the Badlands but this one area is the “town” where you can just sit and watch them for as long as you like.  It’s a totally natural habitat – just because they call it a “town” doesn’t mean they have an exhibit like at the zoo or anything – this is the real deal.  And it’s not like you have to get lucky to see them – there are tons of them although you definitely have to get extremely lucky to get THREE of them to POSE like this crew, and Ally did!  She just has that touch lol….

Here’s another photo from the Badlands…

We saw bison everywhere at both Badlands and Yellowstone!

Obviously seeing a chipmunk isn’t unique to National Parks but we couldn’t resist this little furball having a snack.

Yellowstone Lake is really spectacular and we came across this elk hanging out too…

We also made a stop at Horseshoe Bend later on the same day we hit the Grand Canyon:

Professional Headshots with Neighbors Kane Mostyn Insurance Agency!

We are taking a slightly different approach with this blog post!  Here’s the background:

Ben Clevenger of Kane Mostyn Insurance Agency Googled photographers in the neighborhood and gave us a call – they are located right around the corner from the studio at 5777 W Maple Road, Suite 185 and they were launching a new website in the near future, so they needed updated photos of the team.  They hired us and they were a pleasure to work with!  As we got to talking about refreshing their online presence and their image we naturally got to talking about social media strategy and we are pleased to announce they are now also the newest client of M10 Social

Now normally when we share examples of our work we post a few right here on the blog, but in this case we aren’t going to do that.  First we’re sharing the behind the scenes TikTok we put together…. (please follow us there).

We also have some fun behind the scenes with Ben himself from Facebook:

We love the use of this one that we screenshotted from LinkedIn – you can see they got really nice feedback on it!

Now, we would indeed love to show you more of the photos, so here is the link to the “Meet The Team” tab and you can see how they look on their website which just launched!  

Be sure to follow them on Facebook and LinkedIn and look for some fun new content including an interview series with Doug, Ben, Michael Mostyn and Larry Silver that currently has the working title of “Insurance Hacks”!

Just A Solid Senior Session With A Solid Guy – Say Hello To Eric!

We’ve known Eric for a while – not that long, but long enough to know he’s a solid guy.   That’s the best word really – just solid you know?  He’s been a Bloomfield Hills Blackhawk football teammate of our Tony for 4 seasons but we really started to get to know Eric best over the last year or so, so we were really pleased to have him here at the studio with his parents Kimberly and Vince for some straightforward, low key and yeah, just solid pics for his senior session.  He’s got a great head on his shoulders, knows he wants to be in law enforcement and just the kind of guy you would want your kid hanging with.

Solid Guy Eric

This session took place completely in the studio and we started on the grey paper backdrop:

Solid Guy

Dapper – digging that business casual look!

We also have some fun behind the scenes from the broadcast on Facebook Live:

A couple more on the grey – including this super cool classic shot in black and white:

Solid Guy

Looks great.

And another close up in color…

Solid Guy

At this point we switched to the black background and we’ll leave you with this full length image:

Solid Guy

Just solid as we said!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our time in the studio with Eric!
