Meet the lovely Meredith. She came to me with a plan to update her modeling portfolio. This face has graced television screens as an extra in some films as well as on stage for some theatrical events!

Every so often a group of us put our brains together and come up with these fun, different shoot ideas and a few times a year we get to live them out! Here’s one of them. Meet Bailey, our model. Styling was done by my assistant, Lindsay Decker, and I and I even did make-up this time around. Hair was done by my awesome sister, Mya.

august mini-sessions announced!

Jen — Wed, 25 May 2011 15:33:44 +0000

By popular demand, I’m announcing a day of mini-sessions for August!

What is a mini-session?
These sessions are a mini version of our full sessions and can range from toddlers, seniors, families, maternity or even engagements. Basically, any type of session other than boudoir or a sole infant session. Sessions will last up to 20 minutes each and include an online proofing gallery which usually estimates around 15-30 images.

When?
Sunday, August 7th, 2011
Available Times:
8:30am
9:15am – RESERVED
10am – RESERVED
10:45am – RESERVED
11:30am – RESERVED

Where?
Downtown Ann Arbor
Meeting Location: Starbucks on the corner of State and Liberty (across from Borders)
Sessions will take place OUTDOORS – so be prepared to walk around town a bit.

Theme Ideas:
Ice Cream Parlor! Picture your child in the grass eating a superman colored ice cream cone.. messy and adorable!
Urban Kids - A session in Ann Arbor’s graffiti ally will compliment their bold personality and stylish wardrobe.
Earthy – Relax on the grass beside the trees in the Diag. Bring a blanket to lay on!
Cozy Cafe – Grab a cup of Joe and get some portraits inside or around the quaint cafes.
Destination: BEACH! – I know there wont be a beach close by, but that doesn’t mean the munchkins can’t rock a cute bathing suit, sunglasses, an inflatable tube or even a pinwheel!
Picnic: Bring a blanket and some colorfull snacks!
Theme’s aren’t limited to these ideas so if you have a special request, count me in!
*Even though many of these ideas are geared towards children, adults can enjoy these awesome locations as well! All make a perfect spot for a family, couples or even an individual session.

Suggestions:
Consider bringing a stroller for your munchkin to make it easier on you to walk around to the locations.
Visit previous blog post for some bright summer wardrobe inspirations.
ACCESSORIZE! Dress in neutrals or bright bolds! Show your style and go all out! Hats, scarfs, jewelry…
Think props.. dependent on the theme you want to embody, bring along some fun items to help hold the kids interest. Bubbles.. Balloons.. even snacks can be a cute prop! Popcicles, big watermellon slices, lollipops.

To welcome the warm(er) weather, I have decided that it was time to offer a few outdoor mini-session specials! Mini-Sessions are now ONLY available on occassions like this and can no longer be booked by themselves. So, if you’re looking for some great spring photographs and are on a budget, this is the way to go!

Sessions will take place in downtown Fenton and last up to 20 minutes. The session fee will be only $75 and include up to 20 minutes of shooting and a password protected online proofing gallery for up to 20 images. Prints and products can be purchased a la carte.

For those interested in digital files, there will be a print minimum of $100 before being eligible. Once the minimum has been met you’ll be welcome to all the files for an additional $100.

Jen — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:26:23 +0000

Meet Connor. He’s a 2010 senior over at Kearlsey High in Flint. I met him through his sister Kristy, a recent bride of mine. We met up a few weeks back in Fenton and had fun both in the studio and roaming the town. So… I’m totally convinced that the ‘power tie’ myth is true. The second he put this striped tie on he was a posing machine.. I loved every minute of it! Enjoy!

short and sweet

I know how hard these times are and how people are loosing the jobs left and right – how the extra money just isnt there. Photographs are a luxury and I wanted to make this luxury more affordable so you are able to invest in the memories. I have decided to add a new, more affordable session to my list of services. Most of you have already heard of them…

Mini Sessions!
A mini session lasts for only 30 minutes; short and sweet. It includes one location (on location or in studio) and one outfit (no clothing changes). This is perfect for any type of session, whether it be modeling headshots, maternity, infant or toddler or even a couples session. You will recieve an online proofing gallery that will be up for 30 days that will display anywhere from 10-25 retouched photographs. This mini session requires a minimum print order of $100. Our digital negatives are available for a discounted price of $150 (50% off!). A $50 deposit is required to reserve your date.

For all seven of you that took advantage of the mini session day on November 15th – you are saving $100 even from these prices! This was my way of introducing the new service and offering some great clients a peek into my new studio!

Please let me know if you’re interested in scheduling one – just in time for the holidays! Remember, I do offer custom holiday greeting cards!
