Youth with a Purpose

February 5th, 2010

I believe it’s important to give back to those in our community; to share the talents I have been given. I really do believe that everyone deserves to have their memories captured, and that senior portraits are a big part of creating a legacy. Senior portraits aren’t just a sign that you’re done with [...]

Location Family Portrait

January 11th, 2010

I love doing family portraits on location like this!  Creating a family portrait in my clients’ homes is not only a more relaxing environment, but the family portrait ends up being more meaningful because of the setting!

Ann Arbor Senior Portrait :: Corey

December 30th, 2009

Corey is a 2010 Senior at Pioneer High School.  If he looks familiar, it’s because, a while back, we did his brother’s senior portraits.  For Corey’s session, we wanted to create portraits in an outdoor setting, since Corey loves being outdoors.  We spent some time at Corey’s home in Ann Arbor, followed by the schoolyard [...]

Studio Portait: Flute Fusion

November 3rd, 2009

Recently I created a portrait for the musical group, Flute Fusion. Debbie and Holly are both flutists, so obviously we wanted to incorporate their instruments into the portrait. We ended up doing something simple and classy, that highlighted all the different flutes (bass, alto, standard, and piccolo), yet still focused on the duo.
Here’s [...]

Family portraits are always fun.  This little guy and his parents came to the studio a little while back to update their family portrait.  The session went pretty smoothly, and I did find an absolute favorite from the session.  Look at this image — such cute baby blues (and all the tones in the image [...]

Executive Portrait: Thomas P. Schumm

March 30th, 2009

Tom visited the studio the other day to discuss his executive portrait. We did two headshots — one more formal portrait, and the other portrait a little more casual.  This first one is the more contemplative, casual portrait:

And of course the more formal + traditional executive portrait.  I love how the blue tones work [...]
