It has been so cold here in Michigan, so when Hayley wanted her senior photos done at the historic Howell Opera House, I not only was happy because it was cold outside, I was so thrilled because it is amazing there! I love history, vintage and photography (of course) 🙂  It was just such a perfect combo and Hayley is such a sweet, beautiful girl.

What an awesome privilege  it was to photograph Jens.  Jens is an exchange student here in Michigan from Germany. Just a really cool young man with a really cool accent!

Just an awesome senior in some awesome fall colors!

First of all let me just say that this young man has dimples that are to die for!   Second, I can not tell you enough how much I enjoyed this session, the hunting them was awesome.   He rocked his session!

Sunflowers, fields, violin, piano and amazing light.

I did a blog post on Makenzie a few weeks ago. You can see it here.  I talked about how Makenzie was going to do something special to honor her beautiful aunt. Her aunt Amy lost her life way to soon to breast cancer. When Amy was going through treatments, she had a vision of a pink tattered ribbon draped over a cross. Amy’s nephew drew a picture of the cross for her and it was exactly what she had visioned.  Well, Makenzie has been growing her hair out for a long time and decided she wanted to shave all her hair off and donate it.  I just think that is so amazing and courageous for a 16 year old girl. This was not out of rebellion, this was out of love for others. She is so loving  and caring and this was something that was really on her heart to do. Then with her parents support, she took the picture that was drawn of the cross to a tattoo artist. She along with her brothers all got a tattoo of the drawing to remember their aunt and honor her in their own special way. Makenzie has one of the most beautiful, giving, and loving souls!  Here she is with her new tattoo and hairdo. 🙂

Here is a photo of Makenzie and her beautiful aunt Amy. I had the pleasure of taking photos of Amy and her family.  This was taken a week before Amy went home to be with her Lord and Savior. Makenzie often used her hair to cover up her aunts balding head due to chemo. They have many photos like this.  I love how much love is in this photograph.

Seniors 2015 is here. What an awesome start to the season with beautiful Makenzie. What a wonderful soul this girl has and her smile is so contagious! She is a country girl and that just speaks to my soul. We are doing a two part senior shoot, this is the first part and coming in a month I will be posting part two.  Makenzie has down something so amazing, brave and well, just plain special to honor her aunt who passed away at such a young age from breast cancer. Part two of her senior photos will reflect how she decided to honor her aunt. Check back soon.
