Kalamazoo senior pictures - Meet Emerald

One of the things I really enjoy about photographing senior pictures in Michigan is seeing all of the undiscovered locations that they take you to. Emerald (a senior at Schoolcraft) wanted to have pictures taken at her father’s home here in Kalamazoo because she liked that the property included a private pond and a picturesque wooded area. I think it really matched her style and her personality as a nature lover. The photographs are beautiful, and she looks stunning even with almost no makeup, I might add. Emerald plans to attend Michigan State in the fall. Lastly, I would like to thank her family for helping me on the day of the shoot. Congratulations!

Tips to prepare for your pet’s portrait

The key to a successful, memorable pet portrait is to have your pet be comfortable and calm when we are shooting. Follow these tips to prepare your pet:

• Be sure to bring toys, squeaky toys and treats that will get your pet’s attention. It’s best that your pet not know that you have treats with you.

• Bring a leash for your pet.

• You are encouraged to bring a special collar, clothing, costumes, bed or other favorite items.

• Exercise your pet appropriately an hour or less prior to the portrait session. This helps to calm your pet during the photo shoot.

• If desired, have your pet groomed the day of or day before the portrait session.

• Keep in mind that we may photograph you with your pet. Dress appropriately.

• Lastly, don’t forget to bring your patience. Even your pet is entitled to have a bad day every once in a while.
