Welcome to my Blog!
Hello! Thanks for stopping by my Blog. This is a great place to view some of my latest work and get to know me a bit better. My photography services are much different than a typical "studio" experience; in fact, I don't work in a typical studio at all. To start with, I meet my clients at fun outdoor locations, help with wardrobe and styling ideas, and then spend hours "working my magic" by retouching each image with the latest computer editing software. These images are works of art that last a lifetime. They capture soul & personality; they are unique, beautiful and meant to be displayed on walls in your home....and your whole experience is STRESS FREE! Contact me today at (248) 465-1304 or jenlynnalder@aol.com to schedule your custom session. You will LOVE the results. Availability is limited.
For a more complete view of my work and detailed information about sessions, please visit my Main Site & Lessons/Workshop Site .
If you are a photographer looking to attend a workshop and/or take photo editing lessons via email, please see the Lessons& Workshop area here on my Blog for further information or feel free to send me a note. Thanks!

Ask and you shall receive!! For a very limited time only I am offering a special deal on my upcoming Creative Vision Workshop: Autumn Love. Yep, that’s right… a special. I have decided to take $100 off tuition for the next few days. You have until Saturday, September 11th, 2010 at midnight EST to take advantage of this promotion ONLY. This is my LAST workshop of 2010. *Limited spots available. Mention the following code: AL100 in an email or facebook message to receive the discount.
Want to know a little more about the workshop? It’s on Saturday, October 9th from 10 am – 5pm (one month from today!!)
It is going to be held at a beautiful park setting which showcases the amazing Fall colour that us Michigan folks get to enjoy every year. Golden pathways and rusty colored trees, crisp cool air… I can’t wait. There will be both male and female models, a fabulous couple, and some super cute children. The theme is Fall Fashion with a bit of a romantic feel. This workshop is ideal for: children photographers, couple/engagement photographers, model photographers, Senior portrait photographers (because of the young age of the models), creative photographers and anyone who enjoys using location/light/creativity to enhance their photos. If you are looking for help with posing, communication, creative vision and post processing- this event is for YOU. If you want to see what it is like to work on location, hands on, in the field with a team of models, designers, stylists…. for a full day….with other fantastic photographers, you simply won’t want to miss this. Especially for just $350!! If I continue to do workshops next year, the price will be nearly double that… so take advantage of a good deal when you see one. LOL!!!
The workshop also includes a catered lunch and is ideal for local networking and forming new friendships. If it is anything like the last ones I have had, it will be laid back, lots of fun and produce some amazing portfolio images. All participants are welcome to use the workshop photos on their websites/blogs/social networks. Don’t have a blog or web site of your own? Not a big deal! This event is open to photographers of ALL skill levels- even parents who just want to learn to take better photos of their kids. Feel free to visit my website for additional information.

Als0: If anyone is interested in a private, small workshop in Las Vegas during late February- message me ASAP for details. To be put on my waitlist for the Portland/Seattle area next Spring or Summer- send me a note as well.
I am off to work on another creative shoot this evening and looking very forward to it. For those of you who don’t know…. I am in the process of redesigning my website and am eager to add some of the new stuff I have been working on. It will be launched in early October. Stay tuned!
OK, OK, So I have been getting notes and folks out there have been asking…. “how ARE those shoots coming along???” So, I have decided to share a couple quick shots from my recent “project” shoots….
For those of you who DON’T already know, I am currently taking on about 10 creative shoots this month and re-designing my web site so that it represents more of my artistic photography. It’s what I love best. Originally I was hoping to get it all done in about 6 weeks, but now realize that 4 weeks is looking “doable”. (and…. yes, 1 week has already passed) This week I collaborated with a few ultra talented ladies, on 2 different shoots and have been working very hard on creating some fine art images from our session together. Yay!!! But for now, enjoy the little teaser. 
This first one was taken before we started the REAL shoot. hehehe.
And here a is tiny glimpse into my shoot today…. without giving away too much.
Stay tuned… I’ll be posting a LOT of new stuff soon. I wish it could be sooner but taking on an extra (2-3) shoots each week… in addition to client sessions + an abundance of online lessons = overload for me. LOL Good thing I love my job !!
** ALSO- Registration is OPEN for my next workshop on Saturday, October 9th. I have an f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s team set up for the GORGEOUS Autumn colour!!!! To register, send me a note or visit my site. You won’t want to miss out, I seriously cannot wait!! It’s my LAST one of the year.
Last Silhouettes of the Summer (Northville, MI Photography)
September 1, 2010 Silhouettes
It’s the first day of September? Yep, I said it. Can’t believe it- but it IS here. already. just….wow!!!
I am welcoming September this year though. I love the Fall and am ready for it. And this Autumn will be the time for some terrific changes here at JenniferAlderPhotography. Just so all of you know, I have a dozen of creative shoots lined up very soon, plus lots of amazing clients, AND a new site re-design over the next 6 weeks. Times will be busy but FUN. Oh… and in October, I have a fabulous Creative Minds workshop going on. Send me a note for registration details- you DON’T Want to miss out and spots are still available.
Meanwhile, I had a silhouette session last week with 15 yr old, Morgan, that I would like to share a little bit from our time together. She did a great job and it was just lovely working with her and Mom. I plan to do more silhouette sessions later in the year, so keep your eye out if you enjoy these. I think I have parts of four or five sessions here on my blog over the past couple of months. Hope you all have enjoyed it.
If you’re a photographer who wants some tips on posing, settings and post processing on silhouette images- sign up for an online photography editing lesson! I now have one just for Silhouettes!
Check it out… another blog post. Yep, that’s right- I am keeping up with things. Cooler days are rolling in and the sun is setting earlier. And we all know what that means, right? Summer days are coming to an end, again. If you would like to book a portrait session for now or early Fall, I can still make room for you. Send me a note at: jenlynnalder@aol.com or on Facebook. Now is the perfect time!!! I recently had a session with a lovely adult female, Ms. “k”, who hired me because she wanted some current, fun, beautiful images of herself. She brought along lots of outfits and accessories and we pretty much lost track of time on our shoot, LOL. Have a look at a handful of images from our time together at the lovely park area:
Hope you enjoyed the preview! Stay tuned for more upcoming Fun stuff.
Silhouette photography has been a fun way for me to release creative energy this Summer. I love the time I spend on this type of photography and look forward into including more sessions like this into my future workload. Most likely I will share a few more silo sessions with you all. Last week, just a few days after my WHIMSY workshop, I had the chance to meet up with a fabulous couple, Jackie and Matt, at sunset for some romantic images. Have a look at some of the shot from our time together:
And these two are just for fun
Thanks for stopping by everyone! Stay tuned for more session previews
