Another Urban Kids Session (Northville, MI Child Photographer)

August 7, 2011 · Family, Kids, Special Promotions

I met up with three adorable kids for a sibling photoshoot in downtown Northville the other day.  I like taking photos of children in ‘urban’ settings…. finding funky doorways, brick walls, steps, alleys and more! Such fun.  Have a quick look at some of the results from our mini-session:

  

Great looking kids! :)    So nice to see and work with you guys again.  

Stay tuned for upcoming posts. August is a busy month for me and I will be sharing lots here on my blog soon.

Maternity Photography (Novi, MI, Photographer)

May 10, 2011 · Adult Portraits, Baby, Family, Maternity

When i found out Kelsey was pregnant, I couldn’t wait to take some images of her!  The two of us met a couple of years ago and she has modeled for me countless times in workshops or other projects.  She is a wonderful person- full of spunk, creativity, motivation,humor, compassion and kindness.  Oh yea… and did I mention she is GORGEOUSSSS?!  Well, she is.  It is always great to see and work with her and last weekend was no exception.   For the photoshoot we decided to met up at a local park  and do a quick, nature based  mini-session.    I used both the woods and a nearby field as the setting.  Kelsey is a fan of artistic images and so I played a bit with colors and light.

 Thanks to MAK styles for doing a great job with the Bohemian inspired hair and makeup  :)

 

  

So cute, right?!  Yay for a baby boy in just a few weeks…. such a blessing!  I can’t wait to meet him.

 

 She is 9 months pregnant and positively glowing in the beautiful sunlight…..  I love these ones… and her!

 

 I wish you well on your new journey!  

 

 Thanks to my niece, Melanie, for assisting me on this shoot.

Fall Family Portraits (Northville, MI Photographer)

October 29, 2010 · Family

So last week I had a chance to take some portraits of some of my favorite people!  The Fall colors were in full force – I LOVE LOVE LOVE this time of year.  Have a look at a handful of the shots we got at Mill Race Village in downtown Northville.

 

And some softer fall colour….

Awwwww… such a beautiful family

I can’t believe  how fast she is growing up…

And this one, although very traditional, is one of my favorites ever of Mel and Johnny together- they usually won’t even stand next to one another, LOL!!!!

Ending with an image I titled, Fading Memories (I had to get some art in the post, right?)

Thanks for stopping by!  Stay tuned for more upcoming shoots! I have some fun stuff in the mix.

Oh, and by the way….. my workshop promotion ends on 10/31/10 ($50 off tuition) so if you haven’t taken advantage of it, please do!  This will be the only special offered for my Creative Minds workshop: Urban Arts and Drama in the Spring of 2011.

Fall Family Portraits (Northville, MI Photographer)

October 25, 2010 · Family

I really enjoy taking portraits during the Autumn season. The color is just so beautiful and the temperatures aren’t super high….  it makes for a nice and relaxed photo session.  I met up with this awesome family of 5 recently for an  evening shoot, just before sunset,  at one of my favorite park areas.  This is just a very small sneak peek into their session. Tons of photos were taken that day!! What else would you expect?  LOL.  I did both casually posed and candid shots- and they were filled with color-  have a look: 

 

  

I’m still loving the fisheye lens…. its a lot of fun!

One of just mom and dad…  good looking couple, right?

 

The girls are always so full of life- playing and smiling :)

 Awwwwwwwww…. so cute!

A more traditional close up, the colors were so amazing that evening….I did ones like this for everyone individually.

Sisters playing peek-a-boo….

And finally one of the boys walking together down a gorgeous path area …..  I edited it to have a magical feel.

Thanks again you guys! It was terrific seeing ya and I HOPE you enjoy all of the rest, too!  Its always a pleasure working with you.  :)
