Owen {Senior}

Owen is a Senior at Everest Collegiate in Clarkston, MI 

I had a great time shooting Owen and working with him and his mom all day. 

They showed me around town as well as where he goes to school, we even found some pretty cool spots to shoot on the schools property! 

I give Owen a lot of credit for wearing a sweater without complaining once because we had one of the most beautiful days to shoot! 

I am happy I had the opportunity to shoot his senior picture! 

Thanks Again Owen!

Alison {class of 2013}

Alison and her mom Dawn met me in Bay City last night for her senior pictures. After being rained out twice we finally were given a beautiful day on the beach. I knew right away this shoot was going to be so much fun. Alison told me I could do whatever I wanted and even offered to do flips for me! 

We braved the beach, the mud, and even the water to capture Alison's pictures. Overall though I think this has to be one of my very favorite shoots. 

Here is the sneak peak of Alison's senior pictures. 

Hannah {Class of 2013}

Hannah is going to be a Senior at Frankenmuth next year! She is one of my Senior Reps! We went around Frankenmuth in search of a cool spot to take some photos and I think at some points she thought I was crazy! Stay tuned to see more of Hannah's photos this summer!

Anna {Senior}

On Friday I had the pleasure of meeting Anna, a senior from Bay City. She was really open to locations and ideas which is always super exciting! She showed up to our first location in shorts (keep in mind this shoot was on Friday and it was 23 degrees outside) I was shocked! 

I knew it was going to be a fun shoot, but I also knew we had to be quick because I didn't want her to freeze! She was a trooper and not only is she naturally beautiful she is an amazing model. Everything she did was so natural and you can tell in her pictures. 

Allie {Senior}

Saturday I had the pleasure of meeting Allie a senior from Hemlock. When I talked to her she had mentioned growing up next to the train tracks in Hemlock and so we decided we needed to go there for her shoot. We started off in the studio and I had a nice set up outside waiting for her when we were done with the indoor pictures before we hit the tracks! She has beautiful blue eyes and hair that goes on for days! She is beautiful. The best part of the shoot was when she told me she can't be serious, but if you look at this first image you would tell her she is crazy! Such a happy person she was a pleasure to work with. We even managed to squeeze in a few shots with mom & sister! (I will be posting more soon because there was too many to cram into 1 post) I loved these images so much I edited all 200+ pictures in 2 days! I've basically been attached to my computer so I hope you all like them as much as I do! 

                           

  

A Chelsea Dale Photo Shoot

So something about me you may not have known is that I am terrible at taking pictures. I try and try to keep my eyes open, but I am actually really bad at it. Even on this day it was completely cloudy and I still had a problem. Thankfully my sister Amanda had some sort of patients this day because I have been dying to get in front of the camera, I have no recent pictures of myself and my about me page needs some. Plus you guys may just want to know what I look like if you didn't already! 

So my sister and I met in town and we took turns taking pictures of each other. My sister does have photography training and experience, but only does it for fun. She is always up to help me out though! So these photos were taken by her, but posed and edited by me. 

My puppy Mya even managed to sneak into a few! 

(too bad my eyes were closed in all the ones she looked cute in!) 

Alright well enjoy some photos of me, and stay tuned for Amanda's pictures. 

I have baby Riley coming back to the studio today.. I can't believe she is almost 1! I still remember going to see her in the hospital when she was born like it was yesterday! I can't wait to see her she is getting so big and I am excited for this shoot today! 

Happy Sunday!
