Boudoir Sessions Available (Northville Michigan, Boudoir Photographer)

November 28, 2009 · Boudoir

Hi everyone! I hope that each and every one of you had an amazing Thanksgiving. I did. My fiance, Ryan, and I had a wonderful family dinner at my Aunt Jo’s house. It was a beautiful day- great food, the best company ever and Soooo much to be thankful for. My family is a blessing. And so is my relationship with my fiance. I think successful relationships are a gift- they should be appreciated and celebrated. I believe that certain people are in our lives for a special reason.

This is one of the reasons I do boudoir photography.
BUT….. I do NOT post pictures from these sessions on my website and/or blog. I respect that the images taken at these sessions are for the eyes of your significant other only.

I have recently added information to my site with my “G- rated” image below:

Boudoir sessions are popular these days! Females WANT to give their significant others classy, sexy images of them. Why not? Oh, and for those who are a bit anxious about modeling lingerie…. now, please… keep in mind that I do retouch images ;) NO worries. Little flaws are all erased. LOL.

We can schedule these sessions at a nearby hotel and/or your home. I even do very limited amounts of Boudoir Session Parties- please inquire!!! You and a small group of friends can all get in on the fun. :)

With every Boudoir Session a “Little Black Book” (5X7 black leather album of photos) is included. These make INCREDIBLE gifts. They are perfect for his:

  • Wedding gift
  • Valentines Day gift
  • Anniversary gift
  • Christmas present
  • Birthday surprise
  • or ….just to celebrate womanhood

Did I say they make INCREDIBLE gifts? They do! Guys Loooooooooooove them.

Oh, and …..Yep, I am a female so that means you can feel extra comfortable taking these pics with me. I do not show them to other people or display them anywhere. And I have some fun props to use as well. You will look amazing in the images. :)

I also have stylists available who, for a small fee, can bring out your beauty like you would not believe. Lots of optional talent available. Send me a note to plan your session today.

Don’t wait- availability is limited!!!

* Coming up pre-holiday blog posts- probably a couple of model sessions, a newborn shoot, perhaps a family or two…… and probably some sort of holiday give-a-way. Stay tuned. December will be busy for me but I will do my best to keep you all posted.

Kelsey in the Country (Ann Arbor, MI Model Photographer)

November 25, 2009 · Adult Portraits, Senior Portraits & Models

A few days ago I met up with one of my favorite models to work with, Kelsey. You may remember her from this shoot. This time I got to work with her as a blond. ;) We met out at a farm area that had lots of open fields. I wanted to give her some western sort of images for her portfolio. Have a look:

Yea, can you say GORGEOUS???



Kels also brings a lot of enthusiasm to the shoot. I think I was laughing the entire time. Seriously.


Great to see and work with you again, girl. Hope you enjoy the pictures. Keep in touch! :)

** Yes, it is true. I will be holding a mini-workshop (2day) in late May for photographers. It is limited to the first few people to sign up. The focus will be on working with models/stylists, location selection, posing, perspectives and communication IN THE FIELD. This session will be beneficial to photographers who do creative Senior or Bridal photography as well. Cost is $700 which includes the model/stylist fees and lunch both days.

Modeling with Maria (Northville MI Model Photographer)

November 23, 2009 · Senior Portraits & Models

What a treat it was to work with local model, Maria A. She was looking to add a little zest to her modeling portfolio so we got together recently and worked on some less traditional shots. Have a look:


Isn’t she gorgeous?? I just love her eyes.
Her cousin rocked the makeup application, too! Loved the blues.
Maria has been dancing for years and also does choreography
And …I think she looks great in pink.
Loved working with you girl. Keep in touch!

Alexandra (Detroit Michigan Model Photographer)

November 20, 2009 · Senior Portraits & Models

So yesterday afternoon I met up with an amazing model named Alex. I had been wanting to work with her for quite some time and after a few rescheduled dates we finally got the opportunity. Isn’t she stunning?

I wanted to give her a couple of standard black and white head shots for her portfolio:

I had an artistic urge and just went with it on this one…. a bit of Photoshop drama, I suppose.
And here is a mini-series of the shots we took in a nearby alley.
Thanks a ton, Alexandra, for hanging out with me yesterday. It was fabulous to meet and work with you- can’t wait to do it again! Loved it :)
*Oh, and I thought it would be a good time to mention this. By request, I am going to be holding a 2day in-the-field sort of “mini-workshop” in late May for photographers. It is limited to the first few people to sign up. It will be an actual hands on workshop focusing on working with models/stylists, location selection, posing, perspectives, and communication. This session will also benefit anyone who does creative Senior Portrait Photography and untraditional Bridal work.
Cost is $700 per person, which includes the model/stylist fees and lunch both days.
If you are interested in signing up, just send me a note at jenlynnalder@aol.com or on Facebook.
Have a fabulous day everyone! :)

Dedicated Modeling (Ann Arbor, Michigan- Model Photographer)

November 16, 2009 · Senior Portraits & Models

You know you are working with a dedicated model when she shows up in a mini-dress to work outdoors in 40 degree weather (and never complains!!). Amy C. did just that… she hired me to take pictures of her in the snow actually- but this November has been warmer than most. LOL. She did an amazing job. Her stylist and boyfriend joined us for our alley shoot and we all had a really good time. I tried to work as fast as possible because she was shaking a bit.

Here is what we accomplished in our short time working together. I tried to give her images a little dramatic edge:

Doesn’t Stacy do a great job with hair? And here are some cleaner headshots- isn’t she beautiful?? The last one is just for fun ;)

I hope to work with you all again sometime! Keep in touch :)
