Beautiful Fall Family Session! {Livonia, MI and Northville, MI Family and Children's Portrait Photographer}

I am always a sucker for little guys in newsboy caps, so when this family arrived at their session with perfectly coordinated fall outfits and an adorable brown hat for little "A," I knew the session was off to a good start.  Add in some dreamy, hazy fall evening light and a ton of leaves on the ground (also the perfect distraction and "toy" for little ones).... and this is what you get!!  I hope you like the very brief sneak peek, mom and dad...I can't wait to share your whole gallery at tonight's Session Premiere!

I absolutely adore this next image.... there's something so sweet and ethereal about this photograph of a mother's love.

Katelyn's Senior Session - Northville High School {Metro Detroit, Livonia, Northville, Novi Senior Portrait Photographer}

How do I get so lucky to photograph such beautiful and sweet senior girls?  We held Katelyn's session at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor a few weeks ago.  As you can see, Katelyn was a natural in front of the camera .... and so much fun to photograph!  I had such a great time with you and your mom Katelyn, and I hope you love the images as much as I do.  Best of luck with the rest of your senior year!  Keep me posted on what you hear from the University of Michigan!!

Ashley's Senior Preview - Class of 2012 - Ladywood High School! {Northville, MI, Livonia, MI Senior Portrait Photographer}

I have been having so much fun with senior sessions this year!  And, this session was definitely no exception.  Ashley is one of my senior reps for this inaugural year of Christine Long Photography: Seniors,  and I am beyond excited to share just a few images from her full session.  We decided to start in downtown Northville before heading out to Maybury State Park.  This was a great and convenient way to get a lot of variety!  Ashley - I hope you have a wonderful senior year!  Thank you so much for such a fun session!

I adore this next image - definitely one of my favorites!  Not to mention one of my most unique images!

Sara's Senior Session! {Metro Detroit, Northville, Livonia, South Lyon, MI Senior Portrait Photographer}

I had such a great time with Sara's senior session several weeks ago.  I love that she challenged me to come up with a new location....a place with a beach.  So off we went to Kensington Metropark, which I have to say was absolutely beautiful in late September and offered so many places for distinctive images.  Of course, it didn't hurt that there was also a wonderful sunset, with gorgeous hazy light streaming through trees and reflecting off of the water, and one very sweet senior.  Enjoy your senior year Sara!  You are such a beautiful person - inside and out - and I wish you all the best this year!!

Apple Orchard Family Session {Northville, MI and South Lyon, MI Family and Children's Photographer}

Every year I look forward to photographing this beautiful family, and this year was no exception.  I'm so excited to share just a brief sneak peek of the "D" family session at Erwin Orchards in South Lyon.  Just look at these beautiful kids!  I hope you like the preview mom and dad... I, for one, can't wait to share all of the images during your Session Premiere.

Haley's Senior Sneak Peek!! {Franklin High School - Livonia, MI Senior Photographer}

Wow, I'm so behind on blogging sessions, it's crazy!  And, where do I even start with this session?  I seriously wanted to share the entire session proofs with you all.... it was that great!  I met Haley and her mom a few weeks ago at the botanical gardens in Ann Arbor, which are still beautiful this time of year, by the way.  We traipsed all over the property, and I'm so excited to share this sneak peek.  Haley, you are incredibly beautiful, sweet, and intelligent.  I hope you have a wonderful senior year!!
