Kayleigh- senior pictures- Gull Lake - Michigan

Here's another update to the senior pictures taken in the last month or so. To keep it short...great girl...sweet,beautiful, and smart. She's going to school for nursing. Thanks to her mom. She was a great help on the shoot. Congratulations!

This is my pick for the session and one of the best of the senior pictures so far. I just love it!

Look at those eyes!

A Paige out of old Hollywood- senior pictures in Kalamazoo

Here are more pictures from a recent senior picture session that I photographed in Kalamazoo.

Paige has an old Hollywood kind of look. I don’t think I took a bad picture of her. On the down side, it was the hottest day of the year. I thought we would all melt! Thanks to Paige and her grandma for such a successful portrait session.

Meeting Eva- newborn photography in Kalamazoo

Alyssa Davison, Mattawan, Michigan- senior pictures

My other favorite senior picture shoot that I did last year, and I never got it put on the blog. There were so many great shots that I'm not sure what my favorite was. There were many people involved in this session. Thanks to them all. They were all a great help. Enjoy!

I think that this is my pick. Much calmer than the horses

that I had as a child. I backed up into the back of this horse and she didn't kick me.

I was shocked.

Her boyfriend was a great sport! Very cute couple.
Above: a ring that her grandmother gave her.

Vintage Chic, senior pictures, Flint, MI

This is the time of year when my email box becomes flooded with emails to do high school senior pictures. I always hold back a couple of my favorite sessions to show future clients. This year, I’ll only be scheduling sessions from May until September. Please contact me as soon as possible if you’re at all interested in using me. May is almost full.

Often when I walk away from a session, I can describe the person in one word. With this high school senior I would select the adjective classy. This is Adrienne a fellow Flintstone with a love for writing, art, theater, and a quirky 50’s style. Our day started at the Flint Institute of Art, shifted to the Flint Farmer’s Market, and ended in an ally just outside the Capitol Theater…all historic Flint landmarks and all Adrienne’s ideas. I love it when many well planned out ideas come together! Special thanks to Adrienne’s father for being such a great help through the whole process. It was great to be working back in Flint with a high school senior that is so proud of her Flint roots.

Adrienne wanted to have her picture made with this painting. It was a childhood favorite.

John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), Garden Study of the Vickers Children, 1884, Collection of the Flint Institute of Arts, Flint, MI

Check out this vintage typewriter. This was a moose! It still works, too. I loved that she

wanted to include it.


I have so many favorites. I really enjoy this 50's style...the hair and clothes. Thanks again.

Kalamazoo Family Pictures: The Smiths

I have to admit, I was a little worried about how this session would go. I woke up that morning without a voice. But, It didn’t seem to be a real problem. Mom and dad stepped in to help out. This is just another fantastic family. Thanks so much for letting me have a glimpse into your world. Enjoy!

I love the more candid shots...the everyday things that no one is there with a camera to

photograph. Those are always my favorite. I want to document the relationships and

then the person. In my opinion, those photographs will end up meaning more down the line.

Meet the Petrey Family, Kalamazoo

This was one of the most beautiful sessions that I have done all year.

All things were going right that day...a great setting, a fantastic family, and

beautiful weather!! I will be using this park in the future. Thanks to Stacey for

suggesting the site and for letting me capture the energy of her amazing family.

You've gotta love this little guy and his grandma...Love this picture!

Another one of my favorites. He cracked me up...full of energy and

smiles.
