Portraits: Amanda . Detroit Headshot Photographer

Oh, blog.  I love you like a sullen teenager – I’m in awe of how complicated you are, and I try my best to hide that I think I’m not cool enough for you!  I hope you are happy with your facelift, little blog. What do you all think of the new look?

This session with Amanda unfolded like the best kind of shoot – we had an idea of what we wanted to do, and then – BAM! – there was a pink trailer. Well, who wouldn’t seize upon an opportunity such as this?

Amanda in front of a pink junkyard trailerI mean, pink trailers are so hot right now. (Actually, this one was FREEZING COLD and she was a total trooper leaning on it like that!). Amanda is looking to get back into theater locally, and this shoot was originally intended to be a headshot session…Amanda's headshotbut then there was a little bit of hanging out at the park, enjoying the tail-end of summer.Amanda on the steps at Elizabeth Park, Trenton, MII feel a twinge of jealousy when I look at her fabulous red hair.  I haven’t even attempted such a thing since early college – unless you get it just right, red CURLY hair sends a significantly different message, you know?Amanda on the steps in Elizabeth Park, Trenton, MIAmanda in a junkyard, waiting for sunsetSo pretty.

Portraits: Xander . Brownstown children’s photography

What a cute guy, and full of personality.  He just turned one in August, although he’s got as much hair on his head as a much bigger kid – and a smile to match!

He loves wheels on anything, and he had a great time during our session playing with cars and a wooden train.

This was the image his parents chose for thank-you cards from his first birthday party.  Such a happy guy!

Even though I am not a big fan of changing diapers, it’s hard to deny that diaper butts are cute.
