Southeast Michigan Family Photography

July 14, 2016 by Cheridy Mukherjee Leave a Comment

Yesterday we had the privilege of photographing Izzy and her family. We’ve known this family since 2004 when we photographed their wedding and we’ve also done portraits of their family multiple times. Yesterday, Cheridy and I photographed their family again but the circumstances are not as joyful as the past few times we’ve worked with them. Izzy was born with a congenital heart defect and she has now reached the end of where science and medicine can help her so she is home on hospice care. This is every parents worst nightmare. When we went to photograph at the house yesterday, it looked like we might have to do the whole photo shoot in Izzy’s bedroom because she wasn’t up for getting out of bed yesterday. However, with some coaxing from her dad, she made it out and was feeling up to a photo shoot. She then turned on the charm! One of her favorite things is writing so we got a photo of her doing what she loves. When we looked to see what she was writing she wrote “Getting my pictures taken. I’m a star!” That’s so awesome!! Their family is doing a fundraiser for the Children’s Heart Foundation of Michigan called ice cream for Izzy. When you have ice cream with your family, please consider putting in some extra money into a jar and then donate your collection on Saturday August 6th. Here is the info: Take the pledge today to think of Izzy and all of the kids (and adults) who were born with CHD each time you eat ice cream this summer. Then donate a quarter, a nickel, a dollar, ten dollars for each frozen treat. Keep a jar in your kitchen or keep a tally (ice cream stickers are a fun way to track). Izzy’s Ice Cream Challenge officially runs this year from Saturday, June 4 through Saturday, August 6, 2016. The event culminates at Izzy’s Ice Cream Social on Saturday, August 6, 2016 (details here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1047741958650078/). You can bring your money to the social or mail it the Children’s Heart Foundation-Michigan Chapter, PO Box 1808, Troy, MI 48099 by that day, or donate at the provided link http://weblink.donorperfect.com/2016Izzysicecream. For every $40 raised, Izzy’s Ice Cream Challenge will send you an Izzy-designed car magnet and button that says: I ate ice cream for Izzy! Funding CHD research. All proceeds go to the Children’s Heart Foundation-Michigan Chapter.’

The Gift of Family Photography to a Deserving Family

June 30, 2016 by Cheridy Mukherjee Leave a Comment

Last fall we reached out to our local community and asked for recommendations for a deserving family to be photographed for free by our studio.  We feel that we have been very blessed to get to do what we do and this is just one way that we get to give back. Unfortunately with our construction and moving and all sorts of things that happened late last year, we were never able to fulfill that photo session…until this spring.
We recently photographed the Pfeiffer family.  They are amazing people.  The pfeiffer’s have 3 biological girls and they have adopted 3 boys.  They also regularly take care of children through foster care.  It’s good to surround yourself with people that inspire you to be a better person.  The Pfeiffer’s are those people.  They come off as just ordinary parents who are laid back and easy to dish out and receive sarcastic jokes.  But when sitting and talking with them, it’s easy to learn that they are very incredible people who are constantly following the will of God in their lives.  They listen, they process, and they take action and do the things that most of us would turn our backs to.  They are constantly helping out and taking care of others in the community.
They go so far above and beyond that they are truly letting Jesus shine through and setting an example for the rest of us.
We are really grateful to know them and happy that we were able to document their family.

Fun Sibling Photo Session with the Pope Boys

March 29, 2016 by Cheridy Mukherjee Leave a Comment

Oh my goodness!  How cute are these brothers?  We had a very fun sibling photo session with the Pope boys.  We loved how much energy they brought to the set at our farm studio in Orion. Even though the day was cold, these boys sure did bring a lot of fun energy to the shoot! They were ready to play and get that blood pumping. We love energetic kids at photo shoots, so we were ready to go!

Charlie and Eli wore such great outfits for the photo shoot.  They coordinated perfectly to each other but still showed off a little individuality.  We also loved the color choice they made.  The blue in their shirts made them the focal point and brought out their gorgeous eyes. Kudos to mom for knowing what would look great in their pictures! Even though mom and dad didn’t join in the pictures with the boys this time, they stole the show anyways! I mean look at these little models – totally adorable!

Even though it was freezing out, these two siblings braved through it and kept thinking happy, warm thoughts.  These two found a fun time by our tire swing, taking turns pushing each other around.They also kept warm by running around our property and throwing the newly fallen leaves up in the air…and at each other. These tiring activities  left them calm enough to snuggle with each other for more great photos. We totally love this one… how adorable is this brother hug?

Cute sibling photos

We loved working with the Pope family for their fun sibling photo session and really hope to see them again in the future for more running and playing.  Stay amazing Charlie and Eli!  You helped brighten up our day with your cheerful attitudes and handsome smiles.

Awesome Autumn Family Portraits in Michigan with the Holt Family

February 20, 2016 by Cheridy Mukherjee Leave a Comment

This handsome five-some is the Holt family.  We had the absolute pleasure of doing their awesome autumn family portraits at our Lake Orion, Michigan farm studio this past fall.  They were such a photogenic bunch, no matter where they were on our grounds, they just took one great photo after another.

As a local small business, we always try to give back to the charitable organizations in the surrounding areas by donating portrait sessions to their fundraising auction events.  That being the case, that’s exactly how the Holt family found us.  Mr. & Mrs. Holt had attended an event for the wonderful organization, Charlotte’s Wings which is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to supporting ailing children throughout Michigan through donations of new books.  Generous and photogenic, talk about a dynamic duo!

The Holt children were especially awesome to photograph.  Whether they were snuggling together for an adorable sibling photo or letting their goofiness take over in their more candid pictures, they just always knew how to captivate the camera.  Not to mention, their natural features looked great with the fall colors which really made all of their eyes pop.  Just look at what great looking kids they are!!  (By the way, it’s also worth mentioning that all three of them we super polite too.)

One thing that was really great about their family portraits as well was their perfectly coordinated outfits.  Many people think that fall photos automatically means that you should lean more towards oranges, reds and brown but on the contrary, the blue, green and eggplant jewel tones that the Holt family chose add a beautiful contrast to the fall colors that isn’t overstated.  Additionally, they had a great balance between dressy and casual which allowed them to be more versatile when it came to where they posed.

Adorable Fall Family Photos with the Zuk family

February 17, 2016 by Prem Leave a Comment

This past October, we had the pleasure of photographing the Zuk family again. We photographed them last year, and let me tell ya, those girls just keep getting cuter. Their yellow and grey outfit palette worked so well with the intense orange of the leaves at our farm studio in Orion, Michigan. We can’t wait for you to keep reading and see these photos!

These girls took no time at all to warm up to us, they had tons of fun throwing leaves around and laughing their little faces off!

When the little ladies weren’t running around, leaves in hand (and hair!), they were cuddling with mom and dad. The pictures we captured of those sweet cuddles are just precious.

We’re so happy this family has chosen us as their family photographers year after year and that they trust us to document their family as they grow and change. We’re having such a good time along the way. I mean, just look at these photos. How can we not love having these little angels around every year?!
