E Stories: Carrie+Nick | Detroit Wedding Photographer

Carrie and Nick are getting married at the beach next month. Although we can’t be with them on their wedding day, we were thrilled when they asked if we could meet them at some of their favorite spots in Ferndale for an engagement session. Absolutely! (Many thanks to our new friends at the Woodward Avenue Brewers and Dye Salon for their collaboration.) Enjoy the photos!

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.

Sneak Peek: Noa and Lea’s Big Night | Detroit Family Photographer

Hi Everyone! I know I’ve been neglecting the blog lately, but I’m back and I have some great photos from Noa and Lea’s amazing Bat Mitzvah party at The Royal Oak Music Theatre. This party took more than a year to plan and I’m having a hard time believing that it’s over. I’m already looking for another reason to photograph these terrific girls and their parents. They were an absolute blast to work with. Mazel tov, ladies! Enjoy your photos. You can see the entire sneak peek gallery on our Facebook fan page.

Boudoir + Maternity = WOW!! | Ann Arbor Portrait Photographer

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!
