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! 

Frankenmuth Seniors talk to Hannah about getting your pictures taken at Chelsea Dale Photography! 

Last shoot of the year!

Meet Ellen and Haley! 

I went to high school with Ellen and my sister graduated with Haley. This photo shoot has been much anticipated as Haley goes to school out of state we knew we wanted to do something while she was home on break. I am really glad we were able to work something out! I had so much fun with these two. Between shots we were catching up and talking about the past & present, it is always nice for me to be able to photograph friends! They were so easy going and so fun to work with. I have so many favorites from this shoot I couldn't even pick which ones I wanted to post, so I am going to have to consider this a sneak peak because there are just so many more to look through! Even though they kept saying they weren't photogenic I think they are beautiful. 

It has been a wonderful year and I am so glad I got to finish it off with these two! 

Thank you everyone that had faith in me this year, thank you to all of my clients, friends and family for all of your support. I am looking forward to 2012 and all of the new challenges, clients, and people I will meet along the way! 

Make sure to like our facebook page to keep up with all of the 2012 deals, shoots, and everything else I think it worth sharing with you! 

{S} Family

So it's long over due for my family to have their photos done. The last time we had a family photo taken with everyone in it was 12 years ago. Sadie was a puppy and now we have a new puppy Mya! Although I will admit these weren't the easiest thing to do, being in front of the camera and behind it all at once can be a challenge believe it or not, but we managed! Here is a little peak, you may or may not see us do this again, and try to get the dogs to be photogenic next time! 

So here is a little look at my family! 

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! 

Sisters Part 2

The McCullen sisters are back and as fun as ever. I love shooting these two. They are so easy going and fun to work with. I originally shot them back in April as a surprise for their mom & what was supposed to be an outdoor shoot then ended up being an outdoor monsoon of rain followed by an indoor shoot. So we did a rain check and finally got out into a field. The field was a bit difficult to maneuver around, we all got pricked by a bush at least once. Even though it was a little bit on the colder side I am overly happy with how these turned out. I hope this isn't my last chance to capture these two! 

It's good to be back in Saginaw and booking full time! I still have a few mini session slots open this weekend. Call me ASAP if you are interested in getting something before the weekend is over. 

Kristen

Meet Kristen 

Over the past few years she has become one of my very good friends, and I was overly joyed when she said she wanted to do a photoshoot! Although the weather this week wasn't the best and had so many ideas, but not enough time we still had fun while we were out. We started off on the Peninsula, there is a lookout spot that over looks the entire west bay by a winery, then we continued down the Peninsula to the light house (not everyone knows theres a light house out here!) Although the sun was setting we still managed to get a few good shots! I wish we would have taken more photos, but we came to come obstacles  (and by obstacles I mean a bug attacked Kristen's foot so we had to leave the field) 

I always enjoy random sessions like these because not only does it give me a chance to try out new things, but it is also a really fun way to spend the day.
