Last Week In Photography - Headshots And More Puppy!

Things are heating up on the head shot scene.. a number of new sessions this week as well as some corporate work soon to be released.

Also if you've been following my posts of late there's an ongoing puppy series aimed at calendar and card products. Here are some photos from the most recent session.

Upcoming are some more corporate jobs which I hope to be able to share at some point... altogether more busy days and evenings.

Thanks to all of you for coming along with me....just over three years since I launched this iteration of my photographic life and it's been quite the ride!

Last Week In Photography - Head Shots, Families, Couples and Yes, More Puppy

Another busy week or two.. I'm continuing to photograph dear friends and their son, whom I photographed at 2 seconds old and up through this week. Also some head shots, again many of which are not for immediate publication due to corporate constraints but I've included one of a series for a delightful man with a long history in the automotive industry.

Also, the journey continues with yet more (rapidly growing) puppy photos.. all aimed at cards and calendar usage.

Puppy Session 2

Another busy week in and out of the studio. There have been a number people in for head shot sessions, one of whom is shown here.

Also, I photographed a crew who cleared two massive and very dead trees threatening power lines.. amazing technology and skill level shown by the workers.

As to the puppy these photos are part of a series of seasonal photos for his owner who is developing a seasonal calendar.

I have some family sessions upcoming and will be taking advantage of the summer weather.. more to come!

Last Week In Photography - Head Shots, Portraits And Kids In The Park

Business continues to be strong with real estate listings very active and lots of head shots with some family days thrown in the mix.

A few of the head shot sessions are not shown here because of corporate restraints. However I've shared some with permission.

Also, I spent a wonderful afternoon in a local park with this big sister and her younger brother.

Last Week In Photography - Families, Head Shots and Family Head Shots

I am not a wedding photographer, leaving that to those who specialize and have monumental patience! This week a friend and fellow local business owner asked if I would photograph her and her relatives prior to their wedding and the results are here.

Also, my long term neighbor and fellow local home based business owner needed head shots for her web site as well as some photos or her son and his new dog... photographed in my studio and our neighborhood park.

PS.. The couple shown is not the wedding pair.. I just liked the shot!

Last Week In Photography - Portraits, Head Shots, Real Estate and Much More!
DSC_2101-1 (1280x870).jpg

It's been a roller coaster month! Things have taken off in a big way. The real estate market has exploded with the onset of good weather and my schedule has been stretched to the limit with listing photo shoots, head shot and portrait sessions.

I've photographed over a dozen people for social media and professional usage, many of them I'm not free to share here as corporate usage restricts publishing.

Here is a small fraction of sample photographs showing what's been produced these few weeks.

Last Week In Photography - More Portraits, Head Shots and Family Sessions

It's been a very busy week or so.... a mixed blessing under the heading "Be careful what you wish for".

Lots of real estate listings and architectural studies coupled with increased head shot and portrait sessions has generated exactly what I wanted... a full schedule and some great people in and out of the studio.

Here are some samples. Clicking on the photos will enlarge them full size

Last Week In Photography - Portraits and Head Shots

When I built out my studio I was hoping to offer portrait/head shot services in the Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor area. Prior to the build out I was effectively out of business in that area once the icy weather set in.

Well, it worked!

This past week I was pleased to photograph a number of folks, some for business and some for personal usage.. all great fun!

Here are a few examples of the mix in the past few sessions!

Last Week In Photography - Recipe For Cute..

Photo cooking is easy. Just turn on lighting, set up backgrounds and add one helping of Chloe and Josiah.

I had loads of adults in for head shots and portraits as well as real estate listings to photograph so these two were a fun break.

More on the head shots and portraits next blog but  for now here's your serving of cute!

Last Week In Photography - Busy, Busy, Busy

My studio space is drawing loads of activity! Normally I post a combination of sessions but things got a bit crowded so to give each equal time I'm going to up the frequency of my blog entries... lucky you!

These folks brought their new son in and as I'm a portrait guy, rather than just do the standard baby photos we set up fashion lighting and had a ball. Little guy was (mostly) cooperative and we captured some interesting moods from him as well as mother and father.

It was a fun experience!

Last Week In Photography - Inside/Outside - Head Shot Session and Taking Advantage Of The Snowpocalypse

When my studio space opened I knew the usually slow winter months could be more filled by portraits and head shot sessions as potential clients in the Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor area had been contacting me for over a year asking for indoor services during the colder months.

Now that I've been able to assist with these needs activity has been picking up and this week I photographed a woman who's starting her nutrition counseling service. Great session and I look forward to seeing her succeed!

Also, I photographed a local student's senior photos a few months ago and we've been waiting for snow to do a session outside. She LOVES snow and cold weather so we finally connected in Ypsilanti's Candy Cane Park.

Last Week In Photography - Head Shot Session

Among other sessions, still in processing, these photographs are for a new real estate agent in the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti area.

My studio space was not existent last year so having a large, workable area this winter has opened a full season for portraits, family photos and business head shots.

Here is a composite of a few from the day's shoot.

Last Week In Photography - On Site At A Home Based Business
Hunsberger composite (1280x853).jpg

Depending on the source one uses there are about 38 million home based businesses in the United States (including mine). 

I was contacted to photograph the owner of a home based business specializing in organizing her clients' lives. She assists students, people with AD/HD, individuals, parents, couples with different organizing styles, kids, teachers and small business owners. The assignment was to photograph her in her work environment to illustrate her consulting style and work-space.

These photographs are a small portion of the over 70 finished images which can now be applied to her website.

Last Week In Photography - A New Year And New Faces

As anyone in The Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor area is only too painfully aware, we started the year with brutally low temperatures and a need to huddle under the covers and fantasize about sun and sand.

Two brave individuals fought the cold and came into my studio. One, a neighbor in my previous neighborhood who was updating his head shots. The other, a real estate agent customer of mine who was immensely helpful in being my model for some lighting tests.

The new year is starting well and as we progress I'll have more to share.

Last Week In Photography - Head shots, Four Legged Family Photos and a Fund Raiser

Last week I was able to photograph a neighbor and her fur family of four on one of the last warmish days of the year. Also I received a request for a head shot session and met a great guy needing to update his profile.

In addition there were company parties and this special event, the Annual Detroit Intermodal Association Toys for Tots fundraiser. I was, for the second year, privileged to be the official photographer for this great event. 

Here's the venue and one of the bear tables.. sales of the bears alone raised thousands of dollars in addition to the prize raffles and donations.. a great evening for a worthy cause!

Last Week In Photography - A Couple Revisiting Ann Arbor, An Ann Arbor Family's Holiday Session

As we approach the holiday season I've been taking advantage of the last of the outdoor weather and got lucky twice for two sessions.

A engaged couple currently living in Austin, Texas has been getting photographed in cities they've visited or lived in across the country. Both are University of Michigan, Ann Arbor graduates and it was my pleasure to be contacted and engaged to photograph them as they wandered on campus.

Later in the week I met an Ann Arbor family to photograph them for their holiday cards... great weather once again and loads of fun with this family of six..father, mother, three kids and Bentley the furry one in these photos.

Last Week In Photography - Celebrating A Couple And Meeting A Newborn

Last week was a great week for photography! Not only did I get to spend one of the last good weather days of the year in a great setting with a wonderful couple but met a newborn I had photographed before he was born.

Beth and Lisa introduced me to the Highland Cemetery in Ypsilanti, a wonderful location with great history. It was a pleasure to accompany them as they educated me and celebrated each other!

Later in the week I met with Azadeh and Nathan, whom I had photographed while their now new son was still in the developmental stage...project completed.. He's a neat baby!

Last Week In Photography - At The End Of The Season A Great Family Session

As anyone in Michigan knows, this has been an odd fall season. The usually amazing colors that bless us as northerners just didn't show us their normal brilliance on a schedule we're used to.

As a result of the unpredictability those of us who love to photograph people in this season had to watch the weather reports more closely than usual and when a nice day popped up this great family and I made a day of it in a local park.

I have one or two more outdoor fall sessions and am so very glad this one went well!
