This is my dear cuz, Mariah. As I mentioned a few posts ago, every summer or so we gather at our family cottage on Glen Lake in Michigan. It was amazing to be able to take Mariah’s senior photos in a place that is so special to our family story. A few days ahead we played dress-up with all the girls bringing wardrobe contributions, then we set out to explore the shores of Lake Michigan where we hunt petoskeys, the Crystal River we float down in kayaks, the cherry country fields and we ended up right off our own dock with vaguely Moonrise Kingdom inspired canoe shots. Behind the scenes a whole slew of cousins were whistling at Mariah to get those amazing laughs out of her.

And my favorite shot of my adorable brother, Jem, who came along to help with styling.

 

 

One from Mariah’s senior photo session at Glen Lake in Michigan last week… she’s such a stunner.

This is Anthony – art director, graphic designer, one of my good friends and the creator of my logo. He is really really good at his job. You can see his work here. He needed some headshot type photos, a little graphic and a little artsy. Here’s what we came up with.

Wow this session was fun. These are my cousins. I can’t believe how beautiful they are. We were all in Athens, Ohio for Thanksgiving, which is an epic family time with a pie per person. Becky, the dark haired one, is a senior (just graduated!), and Elizabeth is now in college but I never got a chance to do her senior photos. So Friday, after a pie breakfast and lunch we headed to The Ridges, an old insane asylum on a hill. This set is a complete collaboration, so many friends, sisters and cousins, contributed to the wardrobe and styling either directly or through hand-me-downs (the long red velvet dress is Keiko’s high school recital dress, many pieces come from Oliver’s, the short red dress I think Summer still wants back, bits from Anna’s wardrobe, and many other friends. These girls knew how to work it. Right behind me, out of view of the camera, were sisters and cousins whistling and egging the girls on. We were all pretty pleased with the results.
