What a fun fall family Thursday in the park we had with Sean, Rebecca and their kids! We have known Sean for a long time – for Ally going back to elementary school and for me back to high school where we were football teammates, so this was a very cool thing to be spending time with him and his family, not to mention that Rebecca is delightful and the kids are great! Fall Family Thursday We decided on Heritage […]
Yes it is time to meet Al and Tarcha’s new arrival – Nala! We were so excited to meet her! We have known Al and Tarcha for 5 years now and we have done headshots for Al, his dad, photos for their church in Detroit where Al is a pastor, maternity photos of Tarcha when they were expecting and now finally little Nala! We have shared plenty of good times with these guys and they have really become friends in […]
We drove up to Harbor Springs for a photo session with Cathy Hackl and her family at her in-laws’ place and this was a really special day for multiple reasons. You see, we met Cathy through Periscope which you have seen and heard us talking about pretty much non-stop since April. Cathy was one of the first people we met on Periscope – part of the original “Scope Crew”. She was always so smiley, pleasant and friendly on her broadcasts, […]
Getting the siblings together on a special day is always a great plan for a photo session and that’s just what this family did. The youngest brother was graduating high school on this particular day and one of the older sisters was in town to celebrate, so along with their mom we gathered at Cranbrook to mark the occasion with a photo session. We rarely get to take photos at Cranbrook because it’s typically prohibited unless you are an approved […]
Balloons, cake, family and a yummy one year old sums this session up, and I would even take that further and say that that sums life up! Right? That’s what it’s all about – moments like these. This family was a delight and they actually came in with multiple family members and generations. Everyone had a ball being together and celebrating this milestone with the youngest member of the crew! A portrait photographer’s dream… We started with some photos of […]
Here we are with back-to-back family sessions on back-to-back days with back-to-back blog posts!!! Say that five times fast… Meanwhile this is another fantastic one and in both cases we’ve known the dad of the family outside of the studio so we were excited when they called us to photograph their families. Ally has known Larry from yesterday’s post for a couple years, but I have known Mike from today’s post for about……..40 YEARS! Going back a ways… Yes Mike […]
The family is the classic masterpiece isn’t it? This family session was special for a few reasons. For starters they don’t all live in the same city so when they get together it’s really nice for them, which in turn makes it really nice for us to be a part of. The fact that they would choose to capture the occasion of being together here at our studio is really rewarding for us. In addition, Larry and Ally have gotten […]
Photographing brothers at four and two years old in theory can be an adventure, and these two rambunctious rock stars were anything but boring! They were total hams and they had us cracking up. Alternately having fun with each other, fighting, smiling, running, and touching stuff – so in other words basically they’re perfect. Ha – you’ll see that in the end they totally rocked it and they are just gorgeous kids! We went for the simple casual look with […]
We photographed this lovely couple years ago when they got engaged, and now they have added to the family with a precious and yummy little girl who they brought to the studio for some one year photos and a cake smash. What a day – this little one was as close to perfect as a one year old can be for a session! She was a total ham, worked the camera like a pro, and treated us to quite possibly the […]
We have been really fortunate to meet some really special families over the last few months, like several in a row that we’ve just connected with from the first minute we met them and this next family was no exception. This is a case of a crew that have only been all together for several short years, and yet they clearly fit like pieces of a perfect puzzle and you would think they’ve been together forever – they all get […]
