Senior Session or Fashion Editorial... You decide.

Bohemian Senior Session-
grace in your heart and flowers in your hair

Pro Golfer worthy shots at Lakeview Hills Golf Course

   Flowers in her long blond hair, wind and sunshine dancing on her skin. Sam's photoshoot was one of the first shoots we did this year and it set the beauty bar high! Not only is she gorgeous she's genuinely the sweetest!

   We had a total girls day- picking flowers, going to the beach, and then ending the day with ice cream after our shoot! Oh, we also did a little golfing, and off-roading on the gold course.

   Sam really wanted her images to feel warm, and have that "glow" so it figures the day of her shoot clouds had been covering the sky all day. I assured her photoshop could fix what mother nature left out for us and we decided to do the shoot. When we walked out to the field to shoot we had no idea we were going to find an elegant explosion of wild flowers. It was honestly the best surprise. We had no idea this outfit was going to turn out THIS stunning, sometimes you have to ditch your plans and just let things flow and follow what feels right.

  After that we shot at the Lakeview Hills Golf Course where we had 9 holes completely to ourselves, and a cart to explore with! I love how professional she looks in all of those portraits, not to mention the look of a true athlete.

   We ended on the beach with HIGH winds. The waves were crashing at least 15 feet up the side of the rocks. It was amazing to watch, and a little intimidating. Normally you wouldn't think hurricane winds would be ideal conditions for a Senior Beauty Photoshoot but I was instantly excited about it! Her hair flew everywhere- it really gave the portraits that organic, care free vibe, not to mention a look you just can't create on a normal day. And then finally... like she hoped, the sun peeked out and we ended on that magical note.

Elise- Port Huron Highschool Senior Session

Senior Session showcasing Dance, Singing,
and Color Guard Talents

Ethereal and Retro Style Senior Shoot
in downtown Port Huron

   I like to think we all have a secret “us” hiding inside,
waiting for the world to either accept us,
or waiting for us to accept it’s time for the world to meet us!
Meet Elise, this is her AJBC story.

   The first time I met Elise she was a cute Senior about to graduate, what some may call shy, but ever so sweet.
   We planned her shoot around her many talents- dance, color guard, photography, and singing. Not many people could have a shoot that encompassed so many beautiful and expressive talents, but Elise is honestly probably hiding more.
   The day came and we started out with more outfits than you can imagine! They FILLED the studio. Dance costumes from recitals, gowns, fashionable pieces, jewelry passed down from family, yards and yards of fabric and fun props. You could tell we weren’t just about to photograph a Senior, she was about to put on a live show for us, and that she did.
   Our first look was pointe, and to be honest, we photographed this look on a back dirt road, partially in a ditch.  We let the dust settle and then… Elise began to flow. Her body was calm yet precise and it was beautiful to watch.
   Next we headed downtown where she took what many would look at as a basic flag and turned it into visual art. But this is where we saw this inner fierceness come alive! Pure magic!
   After that we played it a bit more low key, cute city girl look in a coffee shop. We did some fun hair whips, got some drinks, and captured her sweet side, for sure.
   Lastly we headed back to the studio where Elise boldly rocked this red sequined gown, while looking ever so timeless. I’ve never seen someone morph so effortlessly, so flawlessy.

   Elise, all these characters you rock, that fire you hold deep in you, let them rage, lady!

6 month old Harry Potter Inspired Photoshoot

Pulling Mandrakes at Hogwarts during Herbology Class

Paper Boy style Vintage Portraits

““Mandrake, or Mandragora, is used to return those who have been transfigured to their original state. It’s also quite dangerous. The Mandrake’s cry is fatal to anyone who hears it.””

— Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets

   I am (and not so secretly, may I add) obsessed with Harry Potter. I mean, I flew all the way to Europe just to go to The Studio Tour and took a special trip to Florida not for the sunshine, but specifically for The Wizarding World. I don’t think it’s becoming a problem in my day to day life, but I can’t be too sure. haha
   Nicki, little Corbin’s mom equally loves HP and wanted to do a 2 part session for his 6 (ish) month session. So we did a Mandrake syle set up just for her, and an adorable vintage set for the rest of the family to enjoy.
   We set him up in our slightly over grown (we’ve been busy, ok!) garden and made a little version of the Herbology classroom. Corbin did GREAT! He even munched on some greens for the full experience. What a stinker.
   I was sad when I had to tear down the set, so the sign still stands in my garden!
   Next Mom changed him into adorable little old man suspenders and a cap and we went out and just sat in the tall grass in the back of the studio and played with all the old things I collect as a hobby and blame it on my job so I can keep collecting. Again, he did amazing. His cute, different expression... we captured so many different sides to him!

Forest Fairy Photoshoot

Woman creates art with her movement during this Dance Photoshoot

Whimsical Beauty tucked away in the forest

   Barefoot and beautiful, walking through the crunched up Fall leaves and the dried Spring mud. It’s a whimsical, natural type of beauty we’re about to capture.
   Next on Pointe and running with tule, Kayla creates art through her movement and dance. Watching her flow, unplanned choreography is like watching water flow.
   The whole shoot reminds you of a stunning little forest fairy hopping around the forest ground. The trees folded to make perfect tunnels and the road turning up the hill made for a more modern version.

   I love shoots like these… natural, gorgeous, a bit over the top! Take this experience to celebrate yourself with flowers in your hair, jumping off rocks, dancing in the middle of the road.

   Kayla is lucky enough to own her own company where she literally gets to be a fairytale princess every day… no… really…. you can have Cinderella come to your birthday party and secretly, it’s Kayla, but ssshhh, don’t tell anyone. How fun of a life is that!? She's also a professional Dancer. This was to be a mature yet innocent and wondrous blend of both of those worlds- truly reflecting who she is. 

   See what we created together below:
