Earlier this month I met up with a fabulous designer friend of mine, Amanda Rita.  She works for Indigo Beauty Salon in West Bloomfield as a super talented hairstylist and makeup artist but is now also in school for fashion design.  I photographed some of her latest dress designs on models, Lynn and Madison at a Novi hotel. Her brand is ARTalia.  Enjoy the preview!

I’m also currently working on a project for some wall art to hang in the salon!   

Oh and by the way…there is still time to book a Valentine’s Day Boudoir Session (Jan 31st deadline)  Don’t miss out.   :)

Have a peek at some images from a recent photo shoot with model, Jessica.  It was such a fun time and we had such beautiful light that day.

Thanks for stopping by. Stay tuned for more upcoming images.

I really enjoy taking photos outdoors. Using the environment to create a unique element in an image makes me smile a little on the inside. Yes, I admit it.  It keeps my job fun and almost always guarantees that the experience will never quite be the same. In the beautiful state of Michigan this is true even while using the exact same location on multiple occasions. That might be difficult for you to believe but its really TRUE.  With seasonal changes occurring so frequently (every few months) the scenery flaunts tempting new elements every few weeks or so.  

Recently I have been working with some terrific models on outdoor photoshoots.  These outings have been more artsy in theme and involved full creative teams including wardrobe styling, make-up artists, hairstyling and sometimes photo assisting.  Although the below images appear to have been captured during the peak of Autumn’s colorful foilage change they were truthfully taken quite a bit later….in early to mid November and were processed in post to give off a painterly or slightly vintage vibe.  Have a look at some examples from some of last months (extra chilly) photography work :
