It seems these days that everyone is doing photography workshops to train budding photographers. I have hosted a few of those myself. Recently, however, a couple of my friends and I decided to host a workshop for models instead. Each model pays for their hair and makeup and an hour of shooting time. This allows...
Christmas time is here again! Keeping in the spirit of the holidays. My friends and I hosted a workshop for models at the Grand Traverse Resort in Acme, Michigan. Jamie Dunn reserved a suite for two days and we had a BLAST doing photo shoots the 7 women (including Jamie’s daughter, Megan), who came out...
The rusty colored sands of the Sleeping Bear Dunes seem to glow against the subtle blues of Lake Michigan. I visited this area that Good Morning America named “The most Beautiful Place in America” just before heading west to visit Colorado and New Mexico. The fall colors here were remarkable. I wanted to catch the...
Construction is ongoing but the Lodges of East Lansing is shaping up to become a nice student apartment community located on the edge of the Michigan State University campus. Located on Hanna Blvd just off Hagadorn road near the MSU Campus it is closer to campus than it’s competition. The Lodges feature several amenities to...

Jumping at several small opportunities may get us there more quickly than waiting for one big one to come along. ~Hugh Allen Meg Howard and I were planning to shoot together for several weeks but for one reason or another we weren’t able to put it together. Well, this past Tuesday things seemed to fall...
You may remember Amy Sevenski from my post about our workshop held at the barns of the former state hospital in Traverse City. I wanted to try a new photo technique so I asked Amy if she’d like to help by modeling for me. She was happy to oblige. I picked Amy up after she...
Welcome to the wonderful world of off-the-cuff creativity. Joe (actionjoephotography) and I met Samantha Harris and Kyle Gask-Wilson for a photo shoot at McCormick park in Williamston, Mi. I barely remembered this park from my childhood. When I was 12-years-old or thereabouts my friends and I rode our bikes from Lansing’s South-side to Williamston to...
I had no idea that Cooley Gardens in Lansing was so beautiful. I hosted a model photography workshop there yesterday. Cooley Gardens was the perfect place to hold a photography workshop. The park was not too busy and the flowers were in full bloom and stunning. We had a good turnout of models along with...
