A Beauty Retreet and Photoshoot Event - St. Clair, Michigan

St. Clair Boudoir Photoshoot in Historic Mansion

Gorgeous Floral Milk Bath Sessions


   Shut the door, breathe in the scent of lavender, and feel your body sink below the surface of the warm water. Watch as the moisturizing milk bath floods over your curves and flower petals dance to the surface. 

   This is what we created for all the women who signed up for our Beauty Retreat.

   The whole day was spent in a 3 story Mansion in St. Clair that was over 100 years old. The ladies were pampered right from the beginning, as the morning started out with professional hair and makeup done in a vintage bathroom, complete with a baby chandelier. 

   The first portion of their shoot was Boudoir, where they had 6 private bedrooms to choose from to get photographed in. So exquisite and classy. These ladies did an amazing job with wardrobe. We provided them with a Style Guide for what we thought would be perfect for the location and they couldn't have done better! Timeless pieces of sheer fabric, lace, pearls, diamonds... my gosh. 

   After that was the Milk Bath portion. Each girl had her private shoot complete in a claw foot tub, adorned with gorgeous fresh flowers from Christopher's Flowers in Port Huron. This was a first for ajbc photography and to be honest, I'm officially obsessed with the look! 

   Afterwards each lady got a little black book, and even though some say the portraits were for their significant other, we all know the experience it's self was a very personal and empowering adventure every woman will be able to be enjoy every time they revisit those pieces of art they created with us!

Retro Mommy and Son Moments

Pin Up Mom,Vintage Car,the Golden hour

Mommy and Me Retro Summer Session in Lexington, MI

   Oh Linsay- you doll. And Elliot- you little handsome busy body!
   These two were adorable, all the way around. The way they looked, their personalities, and how they interacted with each other.
   Mom knows the pin up style- she did her own hair and makeup and already had her outfit nailed down before we even met up! Little man, he kept us on our toes and laughing- making stick and rock lemonade at their picnic, helping mom drive, and his silly toothy little smirk when he would pop his head around corners!
   I live for these moments! They aren't posed, they are unexpected, and they are always the best! You can't plan for perfection, it just happens!
   What makes me even happier is Linsay is freezing a moment in time, not only for herself to look back on, but for her son too! I imagine him pulling these images off his mother's walls 50 years from now to have and hold in his own home, passed down again and again, even down to his children who will love seeing their father at this moment in his life That's what art is about. Not about the facebook likes or shares, but about a legacy you're family can physically hold on to and embrace emotionally.

Vintage Pin-Up with Retro Truck

Mom goes pin up- A gorgeous girl and a rusty old truck

a journey of going from being a
young woman, to a mom, and back again!

   I met Melissa about 3 years ago. Her friend had a pin up party (girls night!) and she booked a spot. There’s a shot of her laying laying down, hair fanned out, corset fitting perfectly, and it still stands as one of my favorite pin up shots I’ve ever done, to date. Her expression just screamed true pin up, which to me is sass and confidence.
   Thinking about who she is now… the fact that in person she is so genuinely sweet and happy… well… again, true pin up.    About a year or so after that we came back together again to do a maternity shoot. A very, very last minute maternity shoot. We’re talking days before her daughter was expected to be here! But we made it and those were amazing as well.    I was ecstatic to find out my perfect little pin up was coming back to me again this year for another shoot!! By this time her goal of dropping the baby weight had happened and she looked phenomenal.
   The first part of her session undoubtedly reminds me of Gilligan’s Island Mary Ann. Just that perfect, innocent, fun beautiful girl. This wasn’t done on purpose, and I think it’s mostly the outfit and the hair, but…
   When Melissa showed me what she had put together for the second part of our session I almost died! Polka dots and stockings. Oh my gosh. And buttons down the skirt… I just love it! This part was so much fun! As much as this was a wonderful way for her to put a mile marker on this time in her life and her progression of going from a petite young woman, to pregnant, to a mom, and back again… I heard her hubby was pretty happy with everything too! Take a look!

Peeking into the Boudoir with Luscious Lady LaLa LaRoux

   It’s not every day you get to spy on a gorgeous girl getting ready alone in her bedroom. But, lucky for you, I did and now I’m sharing it with you.
   Oh, if only we all looked this stunning while brushing our hair, right?
   Not to mention, who else looks THIS STUNNING with little gloves on? It’s so unfair!
   LaLa Roux is the perfect blend of modern day fashion and classic pin up beauty. To the tiny vintage shoes to her fun hair, she proves to you beauty has no boundaries. You do what you want. You dress in what makes you feel good. And you mix eras to make you stand out.
   Take a look at everything we did during our stay in St. Clair at Memories Manor!
