You know what is really great?  When you have a client that comes to you every year for their session and leaves everything in your hands. With complete trust and the knowing that whatever I capture with my camera is exactly what they are looking for.  No direction and no limitations, more of a "go ahead, do whatever you want, I trust you" kinda thing.

 love, love, love!! 

Here is my little sneak peek for my wonderful client.  Your children are such beautiful people inside and out and I am amazed more and more every year I see them. thank you! for this. 

 

how many times?

I wonder how many times I have written on this blog and stated one of the following...

"it's been awhile", "hello strangers", "i know I have been negelcting this blog", or "playing catch up here" ?

So instead of going back thru all my old posts, cringing and realizing that most likely every other post started with one of those above statements. I am just going to start over:) and pretend that i am a very dedicated blogger and maybe trick myself into actually keeping up writing on a regular basis. 

Here is a little sneak peek of senior session with Garrett.  We had a bit of a challenge at this session since Mr. Garret had a broken leg due to a football injury, and yes he was wearing a cast.  Anywho, I think we accomplished exactly what he was looking for. Garret was especially wonderful for going along with all my ideas including hobbling thru the woods to find different locations. Thank you! 

until next time (soon:))

the very last mini digital session of 2010

yes you read that right! with all of my super organized clients that have been calling early to schedule their fall sessions there is now only one day left for the mini digital sessions.

I will be taking the first five clients wanting to schedule this really great offer, so if you have been waiting for this session then now is your chance.

the last mini digital session will be held on...

Saturday, September 11th

Times: 9am, 9:30am, 10am, 10:30am & 11am

Location: exact location to be determined

The mini digital sessions will also now only be scheduled ONCE every season, so a new waiting list will be generated for the next mini digital sessions - Winter of 2011

Until next time!

just thinking...

This morning I woke up at 4:30am, (yes I know crazy but this is my schedule) got a cup of coffee and sat in front of my computer ready to get down to business with current work.  I have been working on writing and designing a new brochure for the studio which I have done many times in the past but something is different this time.  I suddenly feel more at ease, comfortable, happy even and the brochure is pulling together quicker than any other one in the past.  

I know, it is only a brochure, right? not to me.  you see I pour every ounce of my energy into what I do because I love what I do.  I know that sounds very cliche but it is so true.  If you are doing something that you truly love then every day you wake up you are excited to start in.  I can honestly say that there has never been a morning where I dreaded working since I have been photographing children and families.  

I am so grateful for the creative ability that I have and that I can share this with all of you.  I love being part of my clients lives and being able to create for them what I do for my own family.  To create something that can make you bust out in laughter or bring tears to your eyes is truly an amazing gift. One that I feel is so important and often times looked over and perceived as a luxury.  However, to me it is not a luxury it is a necessity.  To look back at all the photographs I have of my own children, capturing all their little stages of life, funny little smiles, and every changing personalities is the most important gift I could have ever given myself in this entire lifetime.  And someday those prints will be passed down to my boys for them have and remember what their childhood was like and why their mom was always so crazy about taking their pictures:) 

It is a funny thing but true, when people ask "what is the first thing you would grab if your house caught on fire?" more often then not the answer is "my pictures" I know this would be my first choice (of course after my boys and fergie girl) to every have to part with my prints would be like erasing part of my past. Life plays a funny trick on us, one that makes us forget the little details of life and can only be brought back with a photograph.  There are times I will look at a print of one of my boys and a feeling will just wash over me that will last me the entire day. strange I know but oh so true.

So where am I getting with all of this? no where really. It is early and I am writing from my heart or maybe the coffee just has not kicked in yet. I just feel like sharing with all of you how I personally feel about the work that I not only do for you but my own family as well.

With that here are a few images of my own little men that give me that "wash" feeling. It is like my drug, my happy place it will be with me the entire day. these ones I would go back in the fire for:)

   
All these images were taken in my back yard at our old house, memories created to last forever.

until next time!

Pure Photography Studio News - Michigan Child Photography Shannon Wright

Even though it seems like our summer just started the start to the fall season is just around the corner.  My days spent photographing others in the warm sun, green grass, surrounded by flowers, playing in the sand at the beach will soon be replaced by vivid fall colors, crisp morning sessions, and playing in the leaves.  I do love the summer months but there is really just something about photographing others in the fall that I just can't get enough of.

I know even more so that Autumn is quickly approaching when clients are already inquiring about their holiday cards, what fall outfits to wear and deciding upon great locations that show the coming season its real potential.

With the changing season quickly approaching there has also been a few changes to the studio's sessions.  Something that I finally feel will encompass the broad range of clients that I photograph.  With that the Open Sessions that I have offered in the past have now been replaced with the new sessions that are available.  I am really excited about the changes and think you will be as well.  So please head on over the the Pure Photography Studios website and check out the new offerings.

Sneak Peek One Sweet Boy - Detroit Michigan Child Photographer

Here is a little sneak peek of a recent session with a wonderful family that was oozing with love for their sweet little boy. We explored our entire session with little Mr. J and I think I could have spent the rest of the morning doing so.  I have such a sweet spot for boys (of course because I have 3 myself) 

I am just loving the soft subdue colors here, reminds me of lazy dazy summer days I used to spend myself at this age. (ok and still do) 

So sweet family enjoy your sneak peek, the rest of your amazing session is soon to come!

 





   

Until next time!

See you this week!!!

playing catch up...again

Ok, so it amazes me how quickly time just flys by, I guess it is all the fun us photographers have being able to photograph so many wonderful people.

I was recently going thru my old posts here and realized that I have not shared sooooo many sessions with everyone.  Generally I do much better on facebook but I still have a handful of viewers who solely rely on this blog for updates and sneak peeks.

So here is a start to some of my favorites from past sessions....

here is marisa & joseph (well zack too) who were just the sweetest kiddos every! their session was held at their new house which is an absolute photographers dream to photograph.  Not many of the images were taken inside the house simply due to all the construction, but I am hoping for another round this year to get the entire family in all their glory of their beautiful home.

 

also make sure to check on the summer Open Schedule (look at the post below) for remaining available session dates.

until next time!

Hello there....

So I have to say that yes I know it has been quite awhile since I posted anything on this blog.  I do apologize but I am in the middle of having a really wonderful new blog built and I honestly thought that it would have been finished long ago.  (reasoning for not posting on this blog) However, I just couldn't wait any longer so I decided to keep this blog updated until the new one is totally finished.  

Anyways,  my main reason for this post is to update the OPEN SESSION SCHEDULES.... I have had a few (ok not just a few but numerous) emails about this summer schedule and I just could not keep putting off posting. 

So lets get this summer started and have some FUN....
