Track Star Girl Senior Portraits – Michigan

Hurdling Lowell Michigan is this track star’s objective.  Heather had her hair and makeup done by Amy Parrish of A K Salon.  Like every other session Amy did an incredible job high lighting the best of Heather’s beautiful features.  Her eyes sparkle as she smiles or is serious.  It is very exciting for me as a photographer to see a girl like Heather shine.

Cameron is the Video Game Kid.  I have had the pleasure of knowing his mom and dad for a few years now, and was blessed to photograph Cameron.  Parents are always worried when they come in about their boys.  They don’t like to have their photo taken.  He is shy.  Cameron was like everyone of these guys when he arrived.  He started out reserved and camera shy, but within minutes was lively and having fun.  Smiles come easy when the guys are having fun and not trapped in the studio.

Cameron you rocked your session!

Ashley was a riot from the minute she walked into the door.  Personality that made me smile before one piece of hair or a ounce of make up could be applied.   The joy she showed and the fun she was having made the session fly by.  As she changed outfits, freshened up her makeup, she only got more happy and joyous.  Amy Parrish was the master of the hair and makeup during this session.  Ashley’s true beauty was brought out through her hair and makeup.

Our goal is to make every senior portrait session unique.  Nicole made it very easy to photograph her.  Some of her coolest outfits were chosen for her by Jessica at “The Hanger“.  Jessica took the time to get to know her and find out her style.  Since the clothing at “The Hanger” only has the coolest clothing its easy to have the greatest photo opportunities.  Nicole’s awesome hair and make up were styled by Amy Parrish of A K Parrish Salon.

This young lady came to us because we photographed her friend Miki. We started the day off very simply and by the end she was getting into the session.  Her hair and make-up was beautifully done by Amy Parrish.  Amy was able to bring out her eyes and make sure her hair stayed in place.  The first image is taken in the rain.  I tell every senior that we do have rain dates, but I choose to have fun in the rain if they will allow it.

Miki is a familier face on our blog.  She was one of our first senior models.  This session was more about her.  We started by using a cool old truck that is her grand mothers.  Then moved back to the studio for more traditional shots before ending up in the river.  It was another fun session. Hair and Make up were provided by Amy Parrish.

Senior Portrait Tip- More is not always better

“More is not always better”

blondbullseyesmall Senior Portrait Tip  More is not always better

Applying too much conditioner on your hair is wasteful and sending good money down the drain. It is a common misconception that when applying conditioner to your hair it should be oozing and dripping off the ends. Conditioner should be applied starting at the ends and working your way up to the crown of your head. If your hair has a tendency to get oily or is fine, skip the roots and pamper the ends. You should apply just enough conditioner that your hands run smoothly through your hair. If the ends soak up the conditioner it is okay to add a little more. Don’t “lather” the conditioner through your hair but rather run your fingers or a wide-tooth comb in a downward motion to distribute. Conditioner is designed first and foremost to detangle the hair and “lathering” the hair with conditioner will not distribute the product evenly, can cause tangling and leave a residue that weighs the hair down. If you follow these guidelines and your hair still feels dry or oily than chances are you are using the wrong product. For individual hair analysis and product recommendation call Amy at A K Parrish Salon.

From the heart of a mom- What her experience was…

My Beautiful MP Senior Model, My DaughterSenior Portrait Session

I am looking to the future and starting to really “get” that my daughter is growing up and graduating and growing into a young lady and I wanted some lasting memories. My daughter Mikhayla is very responsible, she takes her studies very serious, she has a wonderful group of friends who while may not be the most popular in school and are not cheerleaders they will be a force to be reckoned with in our futures.

My daughter is a story-teller, a video designer and an artist so when I scheduled her senior model shoot I thought it would be fun to have some girl time with my daughter, and it was just that. I saw my daughter as she might be as an adult, I think it surprised her also.For those of you who know Mikhayla(Miki) you know she is not into make-up and all the girlie stuff and cares way more about her art than fashion so I thought this would be great experience for her to see the absolute beauty she is. It was that and much, much more. My good friend Amy Parrish who has done my hair for years went with us to do hair and make-up changes for all the different outfit and make-up changes for all the different poses which took a lot of the pressure off of us and we just had fun. To watch Mikhayla start out in the traditional classic poses was great but as we changed outfits and hairstyles you started to see this beautiful young woman, this gorgeous child of God emerge. She started to become more comfortable and really play around with looks and poses with encouragement from Brandon (he was awesome). Her final shots were of a confident ready for the future: whatever that may bring Lowell Red Arrow Senior! I could barely stop smiling and crying. Thank you so much Brandon, this was an experience that will not be forgotten and the pictures turned out beautiful.
