Photo Booth Fun | Detroit Portrait Photographer

We love portraits!
I’m not talking about the pose-y-pose-y kind that get made just after your wedding ceremony. We do recognize their importance, but we have something much more fun in mind. We’ve been quietly taking our photo booth on the road with us for the last year or so. You and your guests are encouraged to step in front of the camera and have a little fun with us. People love the photo booth so much that we have decided to make it available for non- wedding events, too. If you’d like to have us come out and make fun photos at your next party or event, email the studio for more information. We’ll have a blast!
Here are a few shots from a recent event:

Jill: Before Meets After | Ann Arbor Maternity Photographer

Jill and her husband Corey will always have a special place in our hearts.

When Studio Sinead was new, untested, and absolutely green, they had faith in us — enough to become our very first “official” wedding clients.
Even after all these years I still can’t believe my great good fortune to have had Jill and Corey right out of the gate. They could have had anyone, yet they chose us. And in so doing, they changed my life for the better. The experience is no less humbling when I look back on it today, and I’m sure you’ll understand when I tell you that this is one blog post that I am particularly happy to make. The ability to come full circle with my clients is the very best thing about my job.

Congratulations, you two, and thank you so much for coming back! Garrett and I can’t wait to meet your baby girl.

Cheryl: Before Meets After | Ann Arbor Maternity Photographer

Former bride Cheryl, whose 2008 wedding was one of my all-time favorites, recently flew in from Atlanta for maternity pictures. She and her husband, Vince, are expecting a little boy any time now.
Doesn’t she look fabulous? Congratulations Cheryl + Vince! Your slide show begins below the photo.

Sneak Peek: Dr. Dina + Family | Ann Arbor Portrait Photographer

Garrett and I had a great time with Dr. Dina and her family on Sunday. It’s quite humbling to have clients who come back year after year, and Dr. Dina’s family portrait session has become an annual affair that we always look forward to. Thanks for the vote of confidence, Dr. D. We appreciate you so very much. Enjoy your sneak peek!

Sneak Peek: Katie’s Maternity Session | Ann Arbor Maternity Photographer

I don’t do many maternity sessions — former brides and referrals only — so I am always very excited when someone calls. It means that a past client is happy enough to come back for more, or that she has trusted me enough to refer a friend. I love that!
I was doubly excited when Katie called because she is among the rarest of all creatures: a client who has become a good friend. I’ve photographed her on more than one occasion and I absolutely can’t wait to meet her new daughter . A second generation Studio Sinead girl! Who would have imagined? Katie, it was truly an honor. Congratulations and I look forward to seeing you and your beautiful daughter very soon.

More photos from these super fun sessions coming soon!

Maternity Portraits — Ann Arbor Maternity Photographer

My new set is truly getting quite the workout.

I recently shot a maternity session for a client whose baby is due to arrive later this spring.
The mom-to-be is rocking her pregnancy old school – we won’t know the sex of the baby until she or he makes an appearance in a few weeks. (Ladies: could you stand the suspense? I’m pretty sure that I could not. You know me: I want my information as soon as it is available.)

I really wish that I could show you more pictures, because this photo session was exactly what I think maternity photography should be: hot, cool, glam, fun.

Design Tuesday: Be Inspired — Ann Arbor Boudoir Photographer

Sometimes, you have a client who’s so fun, so fresh, so fabulous that the only thing you can do is build a set in her honor and name it after her. This is The Lindsey:

And this, my friends, is Lindsey, herself:

Ooohh. La. La.

Punk Rock Bat Mitzvah Part 2: The Video

I know you haven’t forgotten these fabulous sisters! We first told you about them last fall when we met to shoot some portraits for their upcoming Bat Mitzvah. At the end of February, we met with them again to document the making of a fantastic video that will premiere on their big day. I’m not going to spoil the surprise, but I can tell you that we had an awesome time with these two girls. We also had the pleasure of working with two of our favorite videographers, Ryan and Matt from Epic Motion, and we had the opportunity to meet Lea’s musical mentor, Bruce Pooley, at Live Wire Studios where part of the video was filmed. From there, it was on to Studio A in Commerce, MI for Noa’s dance routine, which was choreographed by her teacher, Rachel.

We had so much fun and we can’t wait for their party at the Royal Oak Music Theatre in April. Andrea Solomon is planning the event, so we know it’s going to be great.

Enjoy the photos!

The E: Rachel + Dan in Birmingham (Part 2)

There were so many photos that I wanted to include in Dan and Rachel’s sneak peek, so I decided to do two posts about their fun engagement session. As you’ll see, we took full advantage of Downtown Birmingham, and of the gracious hospitality of the Townsend Hotel. If you don’t know The Townsend — you must! Drop by for tea one afternoon and take in the gorgeous surroundings. It was the perfect setting for Dan and Rachel’s portraits and we know that their wedding reception will be beautiful, too.
