LOVE

I know this style of pic is not for everyone but I absolutely LOVE the colors, the lighting... everything. I just had to share it. And thank you T for being such a good sport when I asked for one last shot. :)

Tyler//Class of 2011

Today I had the pleasure of doing a senior session with T. He was one of the most laid back kids I have met and I ended up having a blast shooting with him. I also got to sneak in a few shots of his little sisters. Here's a sneak peek. I hope you all enjoy!

Surgery Day

My youngest was born with a defect known as Megameatus. It is a variation on Hypospadias. We were informed before we even left the hospital with him that he would need surgery to correct his "boy parts". We knew it was coming. But nothing prepares you for the day where your child is taken back to an operating room and you know they are going to be scared and confused because you aren't there with them. That they will wake up in pain and want you, their biggest comforter, and they will be surrounded by strangers. It was heartbreaking. But we got through it and my baby boy is recovering well. It's amazing how resilient kids are.

W+M // 6.22.10

I had a friend of 23 years call and ask me to shoot her brother's wedding. Having known the family for so long I knew I would be at ease around everyone. Thank you M and W for giving me the chance to shoot my first wedding and for making it so fun. I hope you enjoy the sneak peek.

Sean // Class of 2010

Things were crazy for a while... bought a new home, moving, my camera was in repair for 2 months, only to be returned with new problems... like I said crazy. But I have a brand new camera, thanks to the wonderful store manager at our local Ritz Camera Store and I am back to shooting.

I had told my mom that I would attempt to take senior pictures for my brother. I figure this helps her and me out at the same time. These are a few from the session. Hope you enjoy!

Differences

These were taken on our trip to Belle Isle. The burnt down house was in Detroit. The last house, that I think resembles a hotel, is in Grosse Pointe, only one mile down the road. Detroit is of course poor, beaten down and dilapidated. Grosse Pointe is mansions, rich and privileged. The change between the two can be seen in crossing one street. It's mind blowing.

Happy 1st!!
