One year sessions are so much fun – especially when it’s with a one year old who we’ve been photographing since she was born! Alexandra was the last baby we photographed before the pandemic hit us with lockdowns and she was back for her 6 month too, so to have her back was really such a joy! OMG. So much personality coming through in these photos!!! How cute is she… We also have a little behind the scenes fun of […]
We have had some wonderful opportunities lately to appear on a few different shows on the Internet as well as local TV and we thought we should gather a few of them in one place here on the blog! Doug & Ally’s Recent Appearances! Let’s start with the one Ally and I appeared together on which was on Fox 2 Detroit in a segment about how to take a great selfie for dating sites! This one was pretty fun… […]
Hey it’s Valentine’s Day this Sunday!!! And to celebrate we thought we would tease you with some delectable Valentine’s Day delights from our neighbor down the hall The Jagged Fork! They were actually on the news this week on WMYD Channel 20 Detroit and they needed some photos of their yummy dishes so of course we came running! Hehe… Take a look! Valentine’s Day At The Jagged Fork Don’t forget too that as of this writing dining in is now […]
Time sure flies… So if you’ve been in the Orchard Mall you’ve undoubtedly noticed the crying baby in the window of our studio – it’s impossible not to and that photo has provided many a smile and a laugh to a passerby over the past decade-plus… Well that little crying baby is our nephew Gabe, and Gabe hit the milestone of his Bar Mitzvah this past Fall! Like many events that were scheduled for 2020 there were many […]
Ty is a great kid and like many youngsters he had to adapt a celebration to the times that we’re in. 2020 was a challenging year for everybody but you wouldn’t know it spending time with this dude for his bar mitzvah which took place several months ago! This was the second time around with a mitzvah for us with this family so let’s goooo! Bar Mitzvah Celebration 2020 Style First let’s take a couple peaks at the session that […]
Through it all – through this challenging school year we still had a fantastic “part 1” of the Class of 2021 senior pictures! We say “part 1” because there are always a few spring seniors and we figure there may be a few more than usual this year (fingers crossed) because 2020 was……..2020. Generally when we post highlights of our sessions we focus on the senior but we do have family add-ons available and sometimes family members – maybe just […]
We had a Maddie takeover in the D! You’ve seen Maddie on this blog before as a spokesmodel representing Mercy High School for the senior class of 2021 and her return was epic! Yes it was a little cold but we literally had downtown Detroit to ourselves early on this particular Saturday morning and we made the most of it! Maddie Takeover In The D We started over by the Fox Theater which is appropriate since Maddie is into theater […]
HELLO HAPPS!!!!! It feels good to be recharged again with this incredible new app called Happs, but first a little context to explain why… Periscope Changed our lives and then……nothing. We’ve written and talked at length about Periscope – the livestreaming app that launched on March 26th, 2015 and we started broadcasting on on March 31st, 2015 at my buddy Alex Steinbock’s suggestion. Right away we saw incredible potential to reach people around the world and share our studio in […]
Andy is a legacy senior in the class of 2021 at West Bloomfield High School – we photographed his sister Jordyn a few years ago and we were looking forward to another hangout with mom Rebecca and the younger sib! We had plenty of fun and the results are great, if NOT surprising! Easy as ABC! Andy, Bham, Cool Pics – easy as ABC We spent the whole session at Quarton Lake which is actually pretty easy to do – […]
We had the pleasure this past week of photographing the talented and wonderful voice of WWJ Newsradio 950’s PM Drive Anchor Jackie Paige! Her story is well known here in Metro Detroit and she has plenty of fans for good reason – she’s a real pro and you should tune in in the afternoons on AM 950. We’ve known Jackie for a bit since our sons played lacrosse and football together in high school, but this was the first time […]
