This evening we went to downtown Detroit to the Roostertail Club where City Mission was having their annual fundraising gala. They had a super hero theme “ordinary people doing extraordinary things” which is a perfect description for what happens at City Mission. For those that don’t know about City Mission, they do amazing things for their community. From their website:
Our mission is to break the cycle of generational poverty by meeting the educational, physical and spiritual needs of families in the Brightmoor community, through loving, mentoring relationships that make life-change possible.
We have structured City Mission around four foundational “pillars” we believe will make transformation in the Brightmoor community possible. The four pillars are Education, Leadership, Family and Community.
Anyway, tonight as the event started we got to see an incredible sunset over the city. The event itself was a packed house and they had lots of items available for their silent auction along with a live auction and we can only hope/pray that they reached their financial goals for this evening.
Cheridy and I took some pictures there just to provide them with a little bit of documentation of their event. We also donated a portrait shoot for their silent auction and will be interested to see who the winning bidder is.
A few more pics can be viewed here.

Today was an interesting day for shooting portraits. When we started pics with Konstantine it was just a really really light misty rain which wasn’t a big deal but by the time we were done, it was all out raining. We were about ready to bail on the shoot but Konstantine was fine with it and the pics were still looking good so we kept going. 40 degrees and windy rainy…yikes!! But she played it off great and things worked out just fine!

This afternoon we did pictures with Rachel. It was really cool because we got to do the pictures at her house which was a beautiful setting on paint creek.

We took some pics of the Schultz family at Van Hoosen Farms today. Little Gracie wasn’t too happy during the second half, but we still were able to capture a few smiles here and there.

This afternoon we went up to Leonard, MI and shot some senior pictures of Kelly Rohner. This was a very unique and fun shoot that we did at the stables where Kelly has her horse.

We had an interesting project this morning. We were shooting some fairly abstract photos of 1st graders for their class to use at an auction/fundraiser. There were 20 kids and it was really “different” trying to come up with pictures that were abstract/generic which didn’t show faces.

The afternoon we did pics with Sharon. This girl is a trooper!! It was FREEZING outside and she made it look like it was a mid-summer day. For any out-of-staters reading this, see the image posted from yesterday…it was snowing then, and still really cold today!

This afternoon we went to Meadowbrook mansion and did some family pictures with the socks family. It’s always eye opening for Cheridy and I to be around families with lots of kids.

Matt and Alison got married in Detroit yesterday. It couldn’t have been a more beautiful day outside!! They got ready in the Renaissance center downtown. There were some amazing photo ops in there, unfortunately things were running very late so we didn’t get a chance to do too much there. The ceremony was held at a church in Indian village and then we headed to Belle Isle to the old Casino where there reception was held.
