Mommy and Me

As photographers, our job is to document life around us and those precious fleeting moments in people's lives. Looking through all the hundreds of photographs we have taken, the ones most special in our eyes, are those that capture the mother and child relationship. Moms today get caught up taking all the pictures at their kids' soccer games, or the school plays, or their child's first steps. But as adults now ourselves, looking at our own photographs of our childhood, we treasure most, those with our parents in them. The mother/child bond is something so beautiful and unique and as we approach Mother's Day, we really want to showcase that relationship!

We have created a special session just for moms throughout the months of April and May to celebrate Mother's Day. Join us for a portrait session in the studio with your children and receive a free brag book, all for just $125.

Make the most of this Mother's Day and create moments that will be cherished by you and your children for a lifetime.

Call the studio today to book your session at 248.275.1517

What a difference a year makes!

{3 days, Photo courtesy of Madison Christopher Photography}

Today I was reflecting on my life a year ago, and realized what a difference a year makes! Last January I was uncertain when my husband and I would have a child (we had been trying for several years) and I was still photographing on-location. Fast-forward a year and I have a beautiful baby boy who's almost 3 months old and a fabulous studio along with a full-time associate photographer who has been a huge blessing to me by running the business since Christian has been born. All of these things have been faithful answers to my prayers! I hope to encourage you when times are tough in your life, remember that blessings are waiting for you right around the corner:)

Here are a few pictures of Christian from the countless photo sessions that I've taken...Enjoy!

Free Family Portraits

We are so excited to participate this year in Sandy Puc's International Charity Model Search for the cutest family of 2010! Sandy Puc is a world-renowned photographer out of Colorado who started this charity model search for her fellow peers. Each year she has a different theme and this year she is searching for the cutest family.

You might be asking yourself what does this mean and how do we take advantage of this great chance to be photographed for free?! Well, for three special Saturdays in the months of January, February and March Meghan will be photographing the families that sign up with us.

To be considered, the family must consist of one parent in the photograph and we are accepting only immediate families for this contest. The images will be posted online for a week after your session. Two weeks from your session date you will come back into the studio to order and pick out your favorite photograph to post online for all to see! This is where the fun begins! Your friends and family can then go online and vote for you as the cutest family in all of North America! The family that is picked will win a brand new car; who knows, the cutest family might be yours!!

The greatest part of this whole experience is not only the fame and fortune :) but the chance to give back to a wonderful charity, Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. This charity N.I.L.M.D.T.S. was founded by Sandy Puc and consists of volunteer photographers who come into a family's life when grief has stricken them with the loss of their brand new baby. Too often babies die during or right after birth and the volunteer photographers of N.I.L.M.D.T.S. come in and photograph them with the parents so that the mother and father will always have a beautiful portrait to remember them by. All the proceeds from the votes of this contest will go to benefit N.I.L.M.D.T.S.. Each vote is only a $1.00 and the more votes you have the better your chances are of winning!

To find out more information on the family model search and the charity you can visit: http://www.sandypucmodels.com/site/c.rwLZKhN1LtH/b.5460185/k.BBEC/Family_Information.htm

We will be photographing every 1/2 hour from 9a.m. to 5p.m. on the following three Saturdays for the cutest family:

Saturday, January 30th

Saturday, February 27th

Saturday, March 13th

Please sign up soon as we anticipate spots to fill up fast! You can call the studio at 248-275-1517.
