Jamie Krause {Prom}

Jamie Krause is truly a beautiful person, inside and out, and we are so blessed by her often.  Jamie is our official ignited Photography intern and has assisted us with many of our weddings and fashion shoots.  We appreciate her hard work, her gentle spirit and her positive outlook on life.  She is a fun person to be around and is a hard worker too.  We found a gem when we hired her!

It's a small form of repayment for her hard work, but we were happy when Jamie asked us to capture some portraits of her before her Senior Prom.  As she says goodbye to her final year of high school, it's important to capture the memories so they can be cherished forever.  Because of the rushed schedule with getting ready and meeting friends, we only had about 20 minutes with Jamie.  Plus, since it was pouring rain and chilly out, we kept most of the portraits indoors, or right on our covered front porch.  Even still, when weather and time aren't on your side, it is good to be creative and think outside of the box!  lol

Rosie Shrag {2013 Senior}

Rosie is one of those people that we absolutely LOVE to photograph and simply find it difficult to stop because with her we are so inspired.  Back in September we had the privilege of photographing her for one of our stylized portrait sessions with Stylist, Kait Wright, so when her mom contacted us about senior portraits, we were thrilled!  Rosie is, of course, a natural beauty, but beyond that she has a natural comfort and ease in front of the camera as well.  She is very laid-back and free-spirited and it's fun capturing that in camera.

For Rosie's session we met at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens and then headed into Downtown Ann Arbor to capture a bit with the city lights.  Early spring is such a finicky thing and although Rosie's session started out warm and sunny, once the sun went down it got chilly fast!  We thought about grabbing ice cream together, but opted for Starbucks instead.  It was a fun night all around and we hope you enjoy these few teasers of our evening together.

Anna Gerathy {2013 Senior}

Anna is a long time friend and we were so thrilled when we were given the opportunity to photograph her senior portraits!  It's always a blast when we get to work with someone who is completely comfortable with our wackiness and Kevin's fun-loving sarcasm.  Anna put up with us quite well.  :)

We were all loving the beautiful spring weather last week, and other than the crazy wind that loved tugging Anna's hair every different direction, the afternoon was perfect.  We met Anna and her mom in downtown Ann Arbor to capture these gorgeous shots in the parks around town.  Anna truly is a sweetheart and a beauty.

Sydney Klevering {2013 Senior}

Sydney's portraits were originally scheduled for late fall last year, but the weather just didn't cooperate with us so we had to reschedule for spring.  With Michigan's cold, wet, and rainy springs you never know what you're going to get, but we were we blessed with an amazing afternoon last week!  The sun was out, the warm breeze was blowing, the cloud formations were intriguing, and Sydney was GORGEOUS!  I really don't think this girl could ever take a bad picture!

Enjoy Sydney's teasers from our evening together, and be sure to let her know how beautiful she looked!
