Sammy is a ray of sunshine – so much personality and a real delight to photograph, and what’s more is the very cool connection I (Doug) have with her family! They bought the house I grew up in from my parents years ago! They don’t live there anymore but we shared the same “view of the world” literally for a time and that will always connect us. Sammy’s parents Jen & Bert are great and they even joined for part […]
Being captivated by Clare is a great shot in the arm – spending time with this girl and her delightful mom Nicole on a perfect day taking pictures is just the ticket and we loved it – the results speak for themselves! Clare is a rising senior at Mercy High School and an athlete to boot. We went to Birmingham for these photos and we are so happy to present these highlights! Captivated By Clare! Let’s get to some highlights […]
Yes we made magic with Micole in Detroit – senior picture magic! Micole is a rising senior in the class of 2021 at Bloomfield Hills High School, and we LOVE our Blackhawks since our own kids were Blackhawks! Part of what made this session special was that Micole’s whole fam joined us – parents Sarah and Todd and little brother Ari – and it was pretty cool to have everyone there to join in and celebrate this girl. She’s smart […]
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 […]
Livin La Lira Loca just popped into my head for a title for this girl, and not much is left to be said about her that we haven’t already said before, and yet…….we may never run out of things to say about Lira! This girl is a once in a lifetime girl – like for example on the way back from her Detroit session in the car she was on a zoom for strength trainers because she’s doing that to […]
YES it’s time for the Class of 2021 Spokesmodel Panorama…..RAMA!!! This is our fourth annual post like this, and while these are NOT professional photos, they are a fun behind the scenes way of representing what we’ve been up to with our new crew in panoramic style! I took these (Doug – not Ally) with my iPhone XR and we love to stack ’em up and give them their own blog post! This year has clearly been a strange one […]
Rita really reached the top on a hot but perfect day in Birmingham for her senior pictures! What a BEAUTY on every level. Smart, adorable, personable, funny and nice – we fell for this girl immediately along with her mom Eva – we laughed so much! Just felt like old friends, and Rita slayed the game. Rita just graduated from Walled Lake Western in the class of 2020 which we know had a pretty weird end to their senior year, […]
Yay doesn’t begin to cut it – we needed to add “yahoo” (we almost added a “yippee”) for Yanni and her senior pictures! Yanni’s mom Inger and I (Doug) go back to college days at Michigan where we hung out in some of the same circles and I was always a fan of Inger with her fun signature “Heyyy mannn!!!” greeting. We reconnected a few years back through Facebook and we’ve been in regular touch again since. Love when that […]
With another entry in the surreal moments category we present to you our last and FAR from least spokesmodel for the rising Class of 2021 seniors – JuJu!!! Giulianna was last here with her siblings in December of 2010! Here’s a photo from that session from a studio sample book we still have! She was so adorable! And now she’s back a full decade later as a beautiful and kind senior! Wow… time sure flies and it’s so special […]
The last time we photographed Jaden he was just a little kid here with his family (check out this old school blog post going back almost a decade), and now he’s grown up to be an awesome young man on his way to pursue his education at Florida A&M – he’s going to be a Rattler! We are big fans of this family and we planned Jaden’s session for before the pandemic started, but we didn’t get it in before […]
