It's not a secret that guys tend to be a bit less

It's not a secret that guys tend to be a bit less enthused about senior portraits in general - so Ann had the genius idea of getting some senior photos for Davis as as part of a larger family session. He works at Timber Ridge Golf course, so we were able to get special permission to take photos there. As a bonus, we got some great photos of each of his siblings too.

I have every intention of updating my own personal

I have every intention of updating my own personal branding photos this winter when things slow down enough for me to catch my breath, but in the meantime, I grab Jeff from his office, hand him my camera, and swipe my hair to the side to pretend I did something with it while I show off an album I designed for Melanie and Marko. But hey - at least walking/biking the girls to school each day requires me to put on real pants for the day (unless I change back into lounge pants when I get home).

Literally everyone thinks their dogs are misbehaving during photo shoots, but the truth is, if I can make a weird noise and get them to look for even half a second, I don’t really care if they run off to explore after that. Misi’s dogs joined to celebrate her graduation, and her boyfriend slash dog photo helper, Anthony, even managed to jump into a few photos.

I’ve noticed a trend in headshots lately - less

I’ve noticed a trend in headshots lately - less people want classic headshots on gray or black backdrops. More people want headshots that make them feel more warm and approachable - a reflection of the changing business world and our personal brands. The best way to personalize your headshots? Set up a mini 30 minute branding session. It’s fully customized to you, and you get ten retouched digital images with a commercial release to use across your website, social media, and any other place your little marketing heart desires.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

P.S. Recognize Maddie from her wedding photo in my feed a few weeks ago?

As a kid, I used to daydream about having an "insi

As a kid, I used to daydream about having an "inside outside room" at my house one day. I had it all planned out - I was going to have turf grass as carpet, paint the ceiling blue, bring in plants, and hang a porch swing from the ceiling.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As as adult, I still have a whimsical style here and there, but the inside outside room of my childhood dreams never came to fruition (probably for the best on that one).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But @planterraconveratory is an actual inside outside room - and one with much more class than ten-year-old Allie dreamed up. It's a plant lovers paradise - truly jaw dropping.

My sister has a painting of Michigan on her stairway, and I loved realizing the connection to the artist when Emily from @37prime reached out to me for some branding photos.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In Emily's own words, "Art is something I have always been passionate about, but I didn't know how to go about pursuing it as an actual job, and I never though I'd be a 'real' artist. After several years as a stay-at-home mom and a few jobs as a graphic designer, I decided to dig in and see what I could do artistically on my own. Eventually I found my way to watercolor. I started selling just a few watercolor prints, and things took off from there as I established my own style and my customer base grew. My main objective is to keep being creative and challenging myself. The fact that I can help other people appreciate art, handmade things, and small businesses is a bonus. It took my 37 years to find a way to make a living off my passion, and I hope other people can be inspired by my story."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

P.S. I'm 100% booked for October, but get in touch to get on my waiting list or get something scheduled for November and beyond.

Ask a group of photographers what time of day is t

Ask a group of photographers what time of day is the most challenging to take outdoor photos, and most will tell you high noon. The sun is the highest and harshest, which makes it harder to get even light. But as a wedding photographer, I work around the wedding day schedule and make it work. This photo was taken at 11:59 AM after Isuri and Shashika's morning wedding so their families could Zoom in from Sri Lanka.
