At this time last year, I was hanging out with her sister at Eastern Market. Although older sis has moved on to college, she came back to hang out with us at Gabrielle’s session. Thanks girls for a great session and it was good to see you again!!!

April 30, 2010my love of anthropologie
April 28, 2010I find inspiration from many different sources…namely magazine ads, other photographers, daily life…
…but then there is Anthropologie. I love the look of Anthropologie. No, I don’t think you understand. I get crazy giddy when I get their catalog comes in the mail. When I have more than two seconds of spare time in my life, I am going to show up on their doorstep, and beg them to let me be their photographer. They shall agree I am a perfect fit and we will all live happily ever after. We all know that’s how it happens in the real world, so I’ll keep you updated on that.
Until then, I am working on a series (Anthropologie inspired) for a project I hope to be submitting images to very soon. I am so in love with her style and look…isn’t she JUST beautiful…











a new one
April 27, 2010My blog was full of newborns for a while…we had a little break…and now I present my newest little friend. I met this fun and wonderful family HERE and was super excited to come back and photograph their new addition.




And I’m finishing it all off with some super sweet daddy/daughter moments. Melts my heart.


week of the pretties vol. 5
April 23, 2010She wasn’t part of this shoot, but she fits perfectly into this week’s series, which I have so weirdly named, the week of the pretties. Have a wonderful weekend!

week of the pretties
April 19, 2010I promised eye candy and I shall deliver. We (me, my husband, and Brittni Schroeder) did a shoot last week with five lovely young models. I have too many images to squish them all into one blog post, so I am going to post each day this week. We shall call it the Week of the Pretties. Perfect.
A big, huge, gigantic thank you to the AMAZING stylists…
Wardrobe: Molly
Hair: Mandy from Donoven’s salon
Makeup: Emily and Courtney from Donoven’s salon
AND, of course, thanks to all of the models for rocking it. Seriously. First up is Katie…






winner!
April 16, 2010Note to self. Being subtle and tricky is not one of your strong points. If out of staters who have never even been to Michigan can figure out the city from my collage, then I must rethink how I photograph for guessing games. Geez people, I could have taken pictures of the street light and you would know where it was. Regardless, it’s all in good fun and there were more people to choose a winner from anyway! Oh, and yes, the studio IS in Pontiac. Nice sleuthing skills my friends!
And. The winner.
Is.
Chosen from Random.org.

JESS M!
Congrats! I will email you soon with the details.
Thanks for playing my less than challenging game and I’ll see you all next Monday (SO much eye candy coming next week)!
giveaway
April 14, 2010Going back to Monday’s post, I promised more about a studio and I MIGHT have mentioned a giveaway.
So. The studio. Travis and I do not have our own studio, but are renting studio space in…in…yes, that is our mystery today and leads us to our giveaway. We are super excited about having the studio option and are IN LOVE with the outdoor locations all around the building and surrounding area.
So where is the studio? That, my friends, is the game. Take a look at the collage of images and leave a comment with what city you think it is. If more than one person guesses the correct city, I will randomly draw a name from those people. Sorry out of staters, I’m afraid you might not do so well at guessing.
And the giveaway? The winner will receive a $25 gift card to either iTunes or Amazon (your choice) and a $100 gift certificate to Boka Studios or Jean Smith Photography (again, your choice).
Oh, and the winner will be announced Friday after 10 am…so leave your comment sometime before then!
