Waterfall Creative Girl Senior Portraits - Lowell, Michigan

Every year I get to photograph a handful of seniors at our legendary waterfall.  Senior Portraits are fun when you add water.  2010 is going to be an even better year for waterfall shots.  As we add even more cool and unique ideas my mind will be flowing with the next great idea.

Start 2010 with a Family Portrait

Start 2010 with a Family Portrait

Lehman Family Portrait, Ionia Michigan

The only bad time to take a family is when its too late.  Too late because your family has grown up, or something tragic has occurred.  Make 2010 your year to capture who your family is.

Trash the Dress Lawn Mower vs Wedding Dress

Aimee and Adam were married just weeks ago.  During the wedding the topic of trash the dress came up and for once I stayed out of it.  So many times brides get up to the point of doing the session only to back out.  So when Aimee contacted me just days after the wedding requesting the session I was excited to be able to offer her and Adam something special.  They gave me an open canvas to create something incredible.  I asked my friends on Facebook what we should do and the idea of tying Aimee up and having Adam rescue her.  Congratulations Jessica for the creative idea.  Jessica won a $100 Gift Card.

Please let me know what you think of these photos by posting your comment below.

Warning…. No farm animals were killed in the creation of these images.  I almost forgot to post this Trash the Dress session.  Amanda & Chris were married on June 27th, 2009.  They decided to have a little fun when it came to Trash the dress.   Being from a small town in the country, the county fair seemed like a perfect fit.  The Kent County Youth fair played host to our photography session.  Between the barns, the rides, and the midway a layer of dust started to build on the dress.  Luckily for Amanda & Chris we have a river behind the studio for them to wash the dust off.  Amanda did amazing in the cold water and played the part well.

Every trash the dress session is unique and personalized for the bride and groom.  You also don’t have to have your wedding photographed by Modern Photographed to have your trash the dress session.

Veteran’s Day- Military Photo Session

Veteran’s Day- Military Photo Session

military photos coast guard Veterans Day  Military Photo Session

Its Veterans Day 2009.  Each year it comes and goes and many pay tribute to the hard working dedicated hero soldiers that protect our country.  Today was special for me.  Command Master Chief Moore stopped by the studio to have his photograph taken.  Its been many years since he was an MK II and had fewer strips to represent his years.  Before he went off to Afganistan or Iraq he wanted a new photo taken.  It was my honor to photograph him on this Veterans day.  His story is not unique.  He is one of the many who serve our country.

Nate is the Marine photographed above.  Nate is young, outgoing, and full of pride for his country.  Just after boot camp he arrived at my studio to have his photograph taken.  Nate is at the beginning of his military career.  The fire in his eyes to serve our country is amazing.  I am so proud to know Nate.

Today please say prayer for our Nate and Mark.  Pray for their safety, their family’s, and their hearts.
