Senior Spotlight Feature ~ Mid Michigan Senior Photographer

This past weekend I was so excited to learn one of my photos was chosen as the Senior Spotlight image of the week at Seniorologie. 

We have been getting so much rain here lately it's been making it very difficult to get sessions in.  When Taylor's session date came around guess what it was doing...yup, raining!  So we decided to go ahead and get her indoor shots done and catch up another day for the outside shots. When we got done with the indoor stuff I thought why not?  A little rain never hurt anyone right...so we ventured outside and had a little fun.  Sometimes the "in the moment" plans are the best!

Thank you Seniorologie for featuring this photo! So excited and honored to be chosen :)

Here is the featured shot of beautiful Miss Taylor. Show her a little love for being such a great sport!! :)

Next up is the beautiful Miss Shelby from MPHS.  Shelby was one of my Senior Reps and is also a dancer. Here are a few highlights from her session.

 

 

Featured Senior ~ Amanda {Mid Michigan Senior Photographer}

 

Next up is Amanda :) 

Amanda had both a spring and summer session with me

and I loved that her hairstyles were different for each session. 

It created 2 completely different looks. 

 Here are a few of my faves from each session :)

 

 

The night we did these photos there was a performance at the Broadway Theatre in downtown Mt. Pleasant and they had a bubble machine going. It made for some very fun photos!

 

And session 2...loved the new look :)

Shepherd High School - Class of 2012 - Senior Rep {Mid Michigan Senior Photographer}

Representing Shepherd High School for the Class of 2012 is Ashley Bellmer. Wow, where do I begin with Ashley.... when she sent me her Rep Application back in the winter of 2010 I was taken aback by many things in her words. There was a sincerity in her love for my photography and excitement to not only have her photos taken by me but to represent my business. When I met her for her session I quickly noticed that she had what I call a very "quiet beauty". As you will quickly see she is very beautiful, but it's that kind of timeless beauty that you can stand back and simply observe through your lens. It wasn't something I felt needed to be posed and I quickly found myself treating her session more like a children's session and became a silent observer. I was so glad I picked the location I did for her shoot, because it allowed me to do that.

On that note of locations, I meant to say this in my last post as well. I am SO very thankful for the people who let me use their property for shoots. Most of both Ashley and Audrey's shoots were mainly on private property and I am so thankful for these locations. They allow such unique and original photos for my seniors. So again thank you so very much!!

Anyway, enough of my ramblings... and onto some beautiful image of Miss Ashley!!

This first one is probably my very favorite, but I must say that is really hard for me to pick a fave of these images.



This is one of those shots, I doubt she even knew I took. I caught her fidgeting with the vine. I just love it!! When I look at it, I "see" her.

Absolute timeless beauty...

Ashley loves flowers, I was so glad I knew where there might be some spring ground coverage :)




I still remember her breaking out in complete laughter while taking this shot. The shots of her laughing are adorable, but for this post I am sharing this one. Love the expression on her face :)

Again... another fave of her just simply being her...


Don't forget....If you attend Shepherd High School or any High School close by, look Ashley up and grab a rep card from her. It will get you some free goodies when you book your ORIGINAL Senior Session with Hayley Hamlin Photography!!
I am now booking summer and fall sessions and my schedule is filling up fast!! Let's tell your senior story :) Till next time...

Fulton High School - Class of 2012 - Senior Rep {Mid Michigan Senior Photographer}

Representing Fulton High School for the Class of 2012 is Audrey Maier. Audrey and I had quite the go at getting her rep session in too. The weather this spring has been pretty tough to work around. Our first go we got about 2 shots in and then it started raining so we had to call it and reschedule. Our second go was cold but thankfully as all my reps had to do this year she toughed it out and we got it done!! As you can see Audrey plays guitar, and it was my pleasure to listen to her play (even with frozen fingers...lol). I have heard some of her friends say that her and her guitar are like "peanut butter and jelly" so it was only fitting that it made it into several of her photos. And I had fun with it too!!

If you attend Fulton High School or any High School close by, look Audrey up and grab a rep card from her. She will have them by Monday and it will get you some free goodies when you book your ORIGINAL Senior Session with Hayley Hamlin Photography!!

Okay, let's get onto some pics :)

The first is one of my very faves and 1 you will see in a lot of my senior marketing this year :) It is cropped for my facebook page;)

The one is from our first "2 minute" session...lol. :)


Isn't she beautiful!! I know this is one of her faves :)

She hasn't seen this one yet ;) I love it!!

This is where you can all feel really bad for her, her arms are covered in goose bumps it was so cold, but she toughed it out :)

Another fave...

If you are looking for senior pictures that are original and all about YOU, then give me a call!! I am booking summer and fall sessions and my schedule is filling up fast!! Let's tell your senior story :) Till next time...
