Sam Cullen {Dance Individuals}

On Thursday we had the opportunity to spend the evening with Sam Cullen as we photographed her dance portraits against a stunning and gorgeous sky - we couldn't have asked for a more amazing evening!  It was fun to work with Sam and her friend, Alissa Maedel, capturing Sam's various dance passions - point, lyrical, jazz and hip hop.  Sam was the model, Alissa was the technique critic and coach, and we were the . . . well, you know.  (lol)  Together we made an amazing team and captured some fantastic images!  See for yourself . . .

Donovin Hendrix {Senior 2011}

We recently had the amazing opportunity to work with "The Best Dressed Senior" of Bradford Academy in Southfield, MI!  It's not every photographer that gets to claim that sort of privileged status - just us cool cats!

Donovin Hendrix was referred to us by my cousin (thanks, Wayne!), who happens to be a teacher at Bradford Academy.  We were really excited about Donovin's multiple portrait ideas and couldn't wait to put our creative spin on them when we met in Downtown Detroit.  We had recently read an article about the revival of the waterfront warehouse district along the Detroit River, so we had Donovin and his family meet us near the Riverwalk, at the edge of the warehouses.  There were so many locations to choose from among the decaying buildings and graffiti, and the new construction and renovations.  New life and revival were mixed in with exhausted and aging architecture - the perfect backdrop for Donovin's portraits!

Enjoy this glimpse into Donovin's session and stay tuned for teasers from session number 2 in late July.  Don't forget to leave a comment or two!

Jenny McHenry {Senior 2011}

Jenny McHenry was so much fun and her photo shoot was simply amazing! We had a great time traveling all over and around Plymouth to get these shots, and Jenny was so relaxed and easy-going that we took WAY too many portraits (a common problem).

We loved Jenny's natural beauty and her gorgeous auburn hair - definitely easy to photograph.  Enjoy this sample of images from her senior portrait session.
