A Little Spice on a Cold Night | Jackson, MI Portrait Photographer

When Missy first asked me to do some pin-up portraits for her, I have to admit I was a tad apprehensive because I had never done that style before, but since she's a really good friend of mine I agreed. These were seriously SO much fun to photograph! We tried all kinds of poses and I have to say I loved every single image, it was so hard to narrow it down, so you guys get more images than normal. We had so much fun that even my dog, Piglet, wanted to join in!

After I showed her all the images, she had me design a hardcover book for her husband's Christmas gift. I adored the book on screen, but once I saw it in print...oh my! She has one lucky hubby! That book is enough to keep anyone warm on a chilly night like tonight :)

Mother Nature | Jackson, MI Portrait Photographer

A couple coworkers and I decided to have a fun shoot this past weekend. Jena and Amber modeled, along with Desi the horse and Tagus the dog. These are only a few of the photos I captured, I still have a lot more to go through and edit, but I wanted to share these because we had SO much fun. We spent almost 6 hours shooting at various spots on the property. And these ones were only from the first location! When we were leaving to go to the last spot, there was a really bright rainbow going all the way across the sky. I didn't have a wide enough lens to capture the whole thing, but you can see a piece of how awesome it was at the end.

Keep checking back on the blog because I will be posting more of the images when I finish them.

The Witches of Ypsilanti | Jackson, MI Photographer

Halloween is hands down my favorite holiday. I just adore everything about it, the fall weather, picking and carving pumpkins, apple cider, dressing up, and of course PHOTO SHOOTS!! Of course Taryn (ToughLove MPD) and I had to do it up right this year. We'd been wanting Bonnie to model for us for quite awhile now and we finally got the opportunity. We will definitely be working with her again because she's amazing. She's über comfortable with her body and how she moves and doing crazy looks. It's awesome!! Anyway, I'm super pleased with how these photo came out <3

Ego Boost | Jackson, MI Portrait Photographer

It's been quite awhile since Taryn, ToughLove MPD and I got together and did some photos, so this session was LONG overdue. Not to mention she's been working her butt off to loose weight and she looks amazing! Taryn's always looked good, but now she's taken it to the next level of hotness :)

CooLHeadS First Official Photo Shoot

I had the pleasure of being introduced to CooLHeadS awhile back when I was asked to photograph their runway debut. Since then they have come quite far and are now working on their website, that's where I came in. Being a Michigan based company they wanted to shoot in locations that represented Michigan. It was a two day photo extravaganza, traveling to Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and ending in Detroit today. Everyone was incredible to work with and I couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather!! CooLHeadS are sure to be the next big fashion craze with their dual purpose of looking CooL and keeping CooL at the same time.

EMU's Exposure 2010 - CooLHeadS

I was asked by the owner of CooLHeadS to come photograph their runway debut at Exposure 2010 held on Eastern Michigan University's campus in the Quirk Theater. I have a feeling that they are going to be HUGE, just wait! They received the loudest applause and won the Most Innovative Design. Congrats to the CooLHeadS team and good luck in your future ventures.

80's Flashback

Another collaboration with ToughLove MPD, this time we went back...way back to the 80's with these two lovely country singers.

ToughLove Portraits

I once again got to work with the gorgeous and talented Taryn Scalise, owner of ToughLove.

Ice Queen

Miranda is a natural Ice Queen with her piercing blue eyes. She's super fun to work with and has the most amazing looks, I'm thrilled that she'd brave the cold Michigan winter to let me photograph her. Special thank to ToughLove for the hair/make-up/wardrobe, Taryn you never cease to amaze me with your talents!!

Fashionista!!

Last night was open studio and I had to play catch up with some assignments for my Studio Portraits class and this is what I ended up with. I definitely have to say that I am quite pleased with the outcome...

Through the Looking Glass

I got to work with the incredibly talented Taryn, owner of Tough Love MPD. She's so amazing and creative. She recreated Alice in Wonderland in her father's backyard and went all high fashion with it. Taryn designed all the clothing and did the models hair/make-up. Let me tell you this lady can multi-task!!
