Lets Talk Newborn Portraits

The window of opportunity for a successful newborn portrait is very small. I prefer to photograph newborns when they are about a week to two weeks old while they are still bendy and super sleepy. It is best to book this session while you are still pregnant, preferably a few months in advance as I take a limited amount of newborn sessions each month. A newborn takes about 2 hours to photograph, sometimes less if the baby is a good sleeper. I provide hats, flowers/headbands and other accessories for newborns, please feel free to bring whatever you’ve got also. I keep the babies naked for the whole shoot, so bringing outfits is not necessary. It’s also good when dressing your newborn to come to my studio, that you dress them lightly, like in a onesie, so that we don’t have to disturb them too much when taking them out of the carseat. And please don’t stress about them peeing (or worse) on my stuff. It will happen. And I will wash it. It’s not a big deal, I’m very used to it. I will happily do laundry for the sake of cute pictures. Please add $50 for each additional sibling in a newborn session, which includes pictures of them together and some individuals picture in one outfit.  Checklist

• lots of diapers and wipes
• extra blankets
• a binky (this is very helpful if they take one)
• a bottle with breastmilk or formula (this saves a ton of time if we can just feed them the bottle instead of nursing)
• a black long sleeve shirt for mom or dad

Brie and Michael's Wedding

I had the pleasure of traveling to Dearborn to capture the photographs of Brie and Michael's wedding. What a great couple to work with!! The wedding party was also a great deal of fun. The reception was held at Lovett Hall in historic Greenfield Village in Dearborn.

Senior Portraits are Heating Up

I just have to say, does it get any better than this? I am having such a ball doing senior portraits this year. My clients have been so much fun. New backgrounds, and finding little spots outside is always a huge kick for me. Being downtown opens the door for so many cool places to shoot. I will just share a few images from recent sessions.

By the way, there are a few summer slots left, but the phone has been busy since Cherry Festival ended......summer goes fast from here on out!
