These two.
These three.
I don't know if I should say this beautiful couple is getting married or this amazing family is forming, it's a celebration of both.... of love.
We had so much fun incorporating their rustic chic look for their wedding in to their engagement session. Take a look!
Engagement session by ajbc photography / Port Huron, MI Couples Photographer
A strong independent woman. A yoga instructor. A mom. A beautiful soul who found herself, and then found ajbc photography- and then we created true beauty together.
If this doesn't empower you to push your boundaries, bush your body, and get outside and dance in the sunshine then I just don't know what will!
I met Jeni a little over a year ago. She booked a shoot for her little Amelia. It was over the top in every way. Oh my goodness. And Jeni was so on top of things. Getting the shoot done, using the images for thank yous for her themed birthday party, using the 2nd outfit and set of images for Easter cards. Everything was organized and perfect.
A year later Jeni called me and said there had been a big change in her life and she was so excited to capture it. Having no clue what that meant I was really excited to meet with her in the studio and talk everything over.
Jeni had quit her Corporate America job and found a calmer lifestyle through yoga. The need she felt to be perfect, over the top, and utterly organized was gone. She was all about living in the moment, and loving life. The change was drastic, but in a way that made you realize- she had found herself, and her life was going to be better because of it.
It was an amzing experience working with Jeni again. Her spirit, her alertness, and the way she expressed herself through words AND through her body with yoga was something I really connected to. And the way her daughter is falling in to footsteps of being so free and unique- it's a beautiful thing to watch.

First off. Can we talk about why they call it Trash the Dress when in all reality it should be called "Have fun with your dress", or "Do something exciting with your dress before it rots in the closet", or even "You have a beautiful dress use it one more time!" Anything but TRASH.... because that's not happening.
Secondly. Can you believe this beautiful woman has already been married for 4 years, still fits in her dress AND has had a baby. If only we were all so lucky. Sorry to rub it in guys, but it's true.
We had such a great time creating this fairytale scene. The Black River and some state land actually worked out perfectly for what we had in mind! Take a look at what we did with some balloons and a cold river.
P.S. If you're thinking this is glamorous, you should see how "horrible" the session started out! Check out some behind the scenes here:

(6:30 and 7:30 booked)
Picture yourself sipping wine, eating strawberries and chocolate, while someone else takes care of your hair and makeup. You just sit back, relax, and enjoy sitting outside in the middle of my calm, private 20 acres (woods, a pond, wild flowers, and even a tree swing, plus a fab "gold set" I've never used before until now!) We've figured out the best outfit for your body and now you're ready to get photographed, while I help you the whole time, shaping your body and facial expressions in to something out of a magazine.
Afterwards you come back to the studio where you get your own private viewing of everything beautiful we've created together. You pick your top 5 images to go on a disc where you can share on facebook, print from, and keep as a digital collection. You can also see all the other beautiful ways you can display yourself (or gift yourself!) with my canvases, wall art, and beautiful albums and boxes, ALL of which you save an extra 10% off of for booking the event.
I NEVER do "minis" or "deals" EVERRRR. And I have no intention of ever really doing this again, but I have the most beautiful set and I want to share it with more than one person so I've created a killer deal for you and am making a day of it! Join us and book NOW. I already know this is going to go SO fast!
Payment plans are available and can be broken down in to weekly payments that fit you and your budget! Just ask me!
