It was hard to believe that a year had already passed since we last worked with the Gleason Family, taking Bre's pictures. Our session began promptly at the Gleason household where a definite air of excitement and anxiety filled the air. Chelsey was eagerly looking forward to her photo session, meanwhile Bre was getting ready ...

Although it was a slightly brisk fall morning, the sky and colors of the sun couldn't have worked out better. And, as evidenced in the first image, Jordan stood tall and proud fully decked in a classic black suit, silver polka dot tie and pocket square.
As we shifted to something more casual, Jordan again brought ...

We had an absolutely gorgeous day for Sammy's shoot. There are days when the mixture of cloud coverage and angle of the sun make for impeccable lighting. And, what a day to have such dramatic lighting to compliment Sam's stunning profile and smile. We are big fans of utilizing the sun to rim light or ...

Sometimes we love when the students do a little bit of "homework" on their end to make the shoot successful and unique. In this case, Abby scouted a fun little location behind Parmenter's Cider Mill that she thought would capture the tone of her outfits and accessories. We felt the vintage brown boots and leather ...

Our family enjoys scouting locations and we knew this abandoned warehouse strip would be ideal for an urban street skater. Beyond this setting we used a good variety of the Mill Race Park landscape to incorporate Sam's many styles. Enjoy his array of head to toe looks from Sperry Topsiders and vneck sweaters to his ...

Megan's shoot was all about timing. It was extremely windy and the rapid movement of clouds had us constantly adjusting our reflectors and Alien Bee strobes. The first shot is arguably one of my favorites from the season and "highlights" how precious timing can be - lucky for us, Ryan was quick on the trigger ...

The beauty of the Fall sky and colors is their ability to create an entirely different perspective with locations we use so regularly throughout the year. In this case, Mil Race Park in downtown Northville. The downside is the limited and infrequent amounts of sun and natural daylight available. Katie definitely came prepared with a ...

This was a really fun shoot and yes we managed to break this session up into Ally's 2-hour window. First, we started off with our portable backdrop for the headshot, which we composed against the General Store at Mill Race. Next, Ally quickly changed things up, transitioning into a retro white denim jacket accented by ...

"Shakedown 2012, cool kids never have the time. On a live wire right up off the street..." Well this cool kid definitely made some time for us and we did our best to bring out Kory's true personality. Kory has a very eclectic interest in his clothes and music. From the White Classic Chuck Taylor's to ...

We had a great time working with Rachel on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon and her choice of outfits were a perfect compliment of two contrasting styles. Please forgive our cheesy Outsiders reference, but as middle school teachers we feel Rachel's Cherry Valance aesthetic fits the bill. Rachel started off the session by showcasing her "girly" ...
