Urban Detroit Photo Session

Urban Detroit Photo Session

Are you looking for an Urban Detroit Photo Session?  Let’s chat!  I know my way around the great city of Detroit and would love to help you find just the right spots to showcase your high school senior or family!  Detroit has so much to offer for photo sessions.  We can find greenery, vivid murals, great architecture from historic to modern and so much more.  Our city has such a great vibe.  Let’s tell your story with an Urban Detroit Photo Session!  In addition to getting you to just the right spots we cover clothing choices in our pre-session consultations and I can answer any questions you may have.  When multiple outfits are going to be worn we’ll plan out what will look the best in the different locations. Being fully pre-pared for a session helps take care of any pre-session jitters and stress.  Let chat and work out the perfect plan.  Then it’s just down to relaxing and having some fun on photo session day!  Some sessions we even take a quick break at a bakery or I point out some favorite restaurants.  Lots of people see new gems that they want to come back and visit!

Who’s up for the vibrance of Eastern Market?  Who loves a Detroit Michigan vibe or skyline?  Who loves architecture from historical to modern?

Snow Engagement Photo Session

Snow Engagement Photo Session

I just LOVED this snow engagement photo session!  We met up on a magical snowy morning.  The weather could not have worked out better for changing this woman’s plans for a gorgeous snow engagement photo session into reality.  I was so excited when she said she would be wearing a long gown and a fur that belonged to her mother.  This couple simply looks marvelous together!  I love capturing these moments with them as the snow gently fell.  You’ve gotta agree it was a magical snow engagement photo session and they totally rocked it!

I’m so lucky to be the Rochester Michigan family photographer they chose!  I had such a great time with these lovely ladies.  I have photographed them before and ever since I have wanted to do it again.  This summer I had my chance!

We spent a lovely evening together in Oakland Township.  We enjoyed the sun glittering through the weeping willow, checked out the farmhouse, out buildings and field of beautiful purple flowers.  You’ll see that the purple flowers, and every thing else around for that matter, created the perfect background for these portraits.  We shared some laughs.  I usually come equipped with corny jokes.  Now this lovely mom has images of her lovely daughters that she says, as I would, that she will cherish forever!  She totally gets why I do what I do.  I love creating images that capture personalities and will bring back sweet memories of a special time in people’s lives.   Oh boy, enough of me gushing on, it’s time to share these beautiful images.  I will add it was great seeing their emotions as they went through their images for the first time last night.

If I could figure out how to slow down time, I would.  But what I can give people is a way to go back in time, even if for a few brief moments each day!  I know this family will enjoy that daily with their wall art and custom album.  Enjoy the trips down memory lane!

Is it time for me to be your Rochester Michigan family photographer?  Of course, if you are not in Rochester that is just fine too. 😉  Here are some of my Rochester Michigan Family Photo Sessions.

Detroit Family Photo Session

Detroit Family Photo Session

Such a fun Detroit Family Photo Session!  I just love shooting in Detroit!  The city is vibrant these days and it’s feels great to be down there.  So many things have changed since my days of in-line skating around the city, but also lots for familiar sites.  I was especially excited about this session because I was working with my new light.  Mid-day sessions can be really tough to photograph.  But we can’t always hide from the sun.  We just need a few more tools to help us deal with it and make people look their best.  A standard flash is not strong enough on a sunny day, to fill in the shadows that are a result of the strong mid-day sun.  Being able to shoot in full sun opens up so many more opportunities and provides us with fun, vibrant images. Note: if you are a geek like me, you would want to know that the light I used is the Godox AD200.

These guys were so great to photograph!  Turned out to be a great day for  Detroit family photo session.  Such sweet guys and up for anything involving exploring Detroit and stopping for some photographs.  We started off on a pedestrian over pass to/from Eastern Market.  Quite a feeling to be standing over the expressway with the cars and trucks whizzing by below!

They were such good sports and we shared a lot of laughs!

We explored more of the city and made a quick stop at the huge library on Cass, after checking out Mid-Town and then the New Center area.

Another bright spot every fall is when the H family comes back for their annual Rochester family photo session!  I love seeing how the kids have grown (Yes, I can be a little sappy) and how we fall back into joking around and exploring new spots along the way.  This year we walked along the Paint Creek Trail along the river and then checked out the Rochester Municipal Park.  These two little cuties are so much fun.  Their sweet personalities always shine through!  They each found some great spots for their photos.  It’s fun to put kids in charge of that for part of the session.  I loved it when their pups joined in for some photos too.

Their Christmas cards have been designed and delivered and now I’m working on their product order.  It’s so great that they can be brought back to this day for years to come with their prints and products.   What is your favorite photo-related product?  I love custom cards for every holiday season and wall art!  Albums for my family are still on my to-do list.  I love designing them for clients.

Such a fun Rochester Michigan Photo Session with this little cutie!   I have so many great photos to share from her session. Her outfit was perfect for the warm, sunny evening at the farm.  For her photo session we visited historic Van Hoosen Farm and Museum in Rochester.  If you haven’t been there yet you really should check it out!  Beautiful grounds surround the historical farm, complete with a museum on site.  Anyway, back to Carly and the fun we had…  Could she be any prettier?!?   And she’s soooo sweet!  Maybe we’ll be seeing her on the big stage or screen one day, as she is already into singing and acting!
