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.

Fan Me! | Ann Arbor Wedding Photographer

The Studio Sinead Facebook page is finally up and it’s lonely over there! If you are a past, present, or future client, come on over and fan me. We’re going to be adding new pictures over the next few days and one lucky client is going to win some free enlargements. Details to follow on the facebook page, so make sure you head over and sign up!

And before anyone says anything, no, I didn’t hear a word about hell freezing over, but let this be a lesson to everyone: never say never. Who knows? I just might complete the downward spiral and find myself on Twitter before all is said and done. :)

Casting Call — Ann Arbor Boudoir Photographer

Studio Sinead is looking for models!

In preparation for the launch of our new web site dedicated exclusively to boudoir photography, we are looking for four or five models to help us test new sets and lighting, as well as augment our portfolio. If selected, you will receive a complimentary professional makeup session along with a disc of images. You will be able to print the images for your personal use, but the copyright will remain with Studio Sinead. To qualify, you must:

1. Be 21 years of age or older. Proof of age will be requested.

2. Be 5’ 7” or taller, weight proportional to your height. Note: this does not mean that you have to be a size 0.

3. Have clear skin.

4. Be willing to sign a model release allowing us to use your image on the Studio Sinead website and/or blog. Please refrain from applying if this poses a problem for you. We do not want to waste your time, or ours.

Interested? Please email casting (at) studiosinead (dot) com and put the word Model in the subject line. Please be sure to include your name, age, and a daytime telephone number in your email. We will contact you with information about the date and time of the casting. Email inquiries only.

This casting call is for ladies only.

We’re looking forward to working with you.

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 Troy and Birmingham (Part 1)

Dan and Rachel aren’t getting married until next February, but Rachel loves winter and wanted to make sure that she had snow in her engagement pictures. Well — as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for! We braved what may have been the last big snowstorm of the winter to photograph these two at home in Troy, at several locations Downtown Birmingham, and at the beautiful Townsend Hotel. We have so many great pictures that this sneak peek is going to require two posts — a first in Studio Sinead history! So make sure to come back for Part 2 on Thursday. We had a terrific time with Dan and Rachel, Rachel’s lovely mother, Dr. Denise, and Coco, the wonder dog. We’re definitely looking forward to their wedding next year, but we don’t mind waiting for more snow. :) We’d like to take a moment to send a huge thank you to Elaine, the mom of former Studio Sinead bride Jen Smith Waxberg, for sending Rachel our way. We’re truly touched by your vote of confidence.

Enjoy the photos!
