I first had the opportunity to work with Miss Olivia last year when we shot a session in Northville, Michigan for the “Kids Being Kids” child photography contest. When her mom contacted me about shooting another session (Yeah!), I wanted to try something a little different. This time, we headed to a different location for a Metro Detroit photography session that is tended by a large number of master gardeners.

The grounds have a beautiful old barn along with acres of plants and flowers. Of course, the centerpiece this time of year is their huge selection of 8 foot tall rose bushes! I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many monster roses bushes in full bloom before!

I have been to this location a number of the times over the past year. Even though they have a large number of manicured plants and flowers, I have always wanted an opportunity to use the small grove of evergreen trees in a session. One of the proofs is included below. Even though she is walking away from the camera, there is “something” about it that really draws me in to the photo.

I am still in the process of going through all of the proofs from the Detroit photography portrait session, thought I would post a couple of the pictures as a sneak peek. Please be sure to leave comments below to help Olivia win free wallets from her session to share with friends and family!

If you would like information on booking a portrait session for yourself or someone you know, please contact me online.
