Landon Fry {Portraits}

We have had the pleasure to photograph Audri and Noah, Landon's parents, for their engagement, wedding, newborn, and family portraits. So when they asked us again to photograph Landon's 1 year old portraits we couldn't turn down another opportunity to work with this awesome family! It was easy to get great images from Landon because he is always so happy and smiley! We enjoyed discovering the farm, looking at chickens, horses, and the beautiful nature around him! As always, it was wonderful getting to visit with Noah and Audri as well! 

Jeff & Sophie {Married!}

We've known Sophie for many, many, years and were thrilled when she called us up and said she HAD to have us as her wedding photographers! Jeff is a youth pastor at Rochester First Assembly, and Sophie is a very talented hair stylist.  A fact demonstrated by her own hair she styled for her wedding. The day ran very smoothly; and even though there were threats of rain, the skies held back all day. The reception was probably the highlight of the night, besides the fact that Jeff and Sophie are married now of course. The dance floor was always packed and could never seem to hold everyone! There were more flips, twirls and spins than any wedding we have photographed before! And, believe it or not, without a single drop of alcohol! There were also some very personal touches during the reception like a song sang to Sophie by her brothers and a special choreographed dance as her daddy daughter dance. Sophie and Jeff's friends and family were such a blast to be around and we really enjoyed the night!

Kristen Massey {2014 Senior}

Kristen is another Franklin Road Christian School graduate. We met up with her and had an outdoor session with her in the fall at first. However, Kristen was extremely involved in basketball at Franklin Road, and wanted some images that captured her love of the game. So, we held another mini session for her at the school to showcase her favorite sport. We had a great time working in the gym to capture some dramatic images of Kristen and her basketball. 

Emily Hunt {2014 Senior}

You may remember Emily from a senior mini session we did last June. She was one of our 2014 senior reps; and as part of the benefits of being senior rep, she earned 2 mini session to highlight her senior year. This is the spring mini session. We embraced the country theme with a variety of images around our property. Emily was a joy to work with again and we loved spending a beautiful summer evening with her and her mom. 

Stephanie Mautz {2014 Senior}

Stephanie and her family have been family friends of ours for years. Kevin and her dad are very close and attend the same church. Stephanie and I have worked together on children's worship for about 5 years as well. This spring, Stephanie was gifted a mini portrait session with us from a friend and she chose to use it to add to her senior portraits. Initially, she had her portraits taken by her boyfriend Jedidiah Carter; however, once receiving the mini session, she decided to round out her portraits by taking some dramatic shots that incorporated our off camera flash lighting techniques.

We started at her school Franklin Road Christian's gym to capture her passion and enthusiasm for cheerleading. Sadly, due to an injury, she could not finish the season this year; however, it is still a major aspect of her life and who she is. 

We also wanted to highlight Stephanie's talent for fashion design by showcasing her prom dress. After many years of working on smaller clothing projects, Stephanie decided to create her own dress. The dress turned out beautiful and her artistic skills can be seen in every stitch. In the fall, Stephanie will be attending Wayne State University, working on a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Fashion Design.
