Michigan wedding and portrait photography
Friday night we went up to Cheridy’s parents house for Halloween. They had the house all decked out and were passing out candy to all the kids coming by.
Cheridy, her mom, and her grandma took Mayz out for a quick trick or treating.
When we got there, the sky was just turning some amazing colors and it was a spectacular sunset.
I’m not a fan of Halloween at all, but let’s be honest…this is a cute kid: )
This must be family portrait month!! We just photographed another fantastic family at their home near Rochester, MI.
The Kambakhsh family is such a fun family that is easy to spend time with.
Here are a few favorites from today:
I think that Brenda has one of the most beautiful smiles I’ve ever seen:
This afternoon we did some baby photos with little Connor. All day we had concerns about the weather but it ended up being perfect outside. Unfortunately Connor was not too thrilled about having his photos taken and only provided a few seconds of smiles for us. Connor is the same age as Mayz so we were quite comfortable with him, but he just wasn’t having any part of the photos. However, just like with Mayz, sometimes the not-so-happy photos can be great too! We were still able to capture a few gems in there!

Every semester of my photography class, I take the class to the Detroit zoo for a field trip. It’s a chance to get out in actual settings and demonstrate some of the techniques that we’ve been discussing for the past few weeks.
Usually I bring my SLR and shoot pics with the rest of the class, but today I decided to bring my canon sd870 point and shoot camera to see what I could come away with.
We had a REALLY weird day in terms of the weather. Driving to the zoo, it was raining so hard I could barely see out the windshield. When I got to the zoo a few minutes later, the sun was coming out and then minutes after that, there was not a cloud in the sky. Halfway through the field trip, it got dark and stormy again and the zoo staff warned everyone to take shelter as they were expecting 60 mph winds and hail. It never hit the zoo, but Cheridy told me it did hit at home. Within 30 minutes, it was a warm and sunny day again.
Anyway, here’s a few pics:

I loved the way the sunlight was coming through the leaves.

Yesterday was a cold, windy, and wet day, but we still had a great time with Amy and Felipe. They are the type of people that you can feel right at home, which we felt like we were spending the day with longtime friends. The JW Marriot hotel in Grand Rapids ending up providing us some great indoor places to take photos.
A lot of things that they did at their wedding were very unique and different. One of the things they did was a mini photo shoot with Amy and her sister along with a shoot of Felipe and his brother.
Here are a few favorites from yesterday:
