LOCATION

      The studio is willing to try new locations to suit the customer, but there are four specific ones that we have used over and over again with amazing results.

 

LAW QUAD  

The most popular one for seniors is the University of Michigan LAW QUADRANGLE. Located at the corner of South University and State Street, the Law Quad is rich with architectural detail and history. Its columns and stonework is especially nice for a collegiate backdrop, while the trees and well maintained gardens offer a colorful green and floral backdrop. It is a gem in the middle of          Ann Arbor and can provide a spectacular backdrop for pictures of all kinds.

BARTON PARK  

 This setting is off Huron River Dr. (about 1/2 mile west of N. Main St.) and offers the subject with a natural, wilderness backdrop of trees, grass and water of Barton Pond. It is a more suitable setting for casual clothing, such as jeans and casual tops instead of formal suits and dresses ( however sundresses work fine). Jeans and shorts and white tops are my favorite outfits for the dock on the water.

BANDEMER PARK

This setting is on the other side of the Huron River under the viaduct of the M-14 expressway. The subject is surrounded with concrete, cement and steel, often with water in the background. It is a modernistic setting of shades of grey that create a neutral backdrop that enhances the subject's face and body. The preferred clothing here are shades of black, grey and white and I prefer the finished pictures to be in black and white (however, sometimes color works fine). Suits and ties (loosened) for guys is a good wardrobe selection along with T-shirts or solid colored sweaters. Black dresses are great for women or anything solid and simple.

LAKE MICHIGAN

This setting includes the shores of Lake Michigan. This is a family home that is located 5 miles south of Frankfort, Michigan near Crystal Lake and 30 minutes south of Traverse City. It offers the subject with water, sand, bluffs, dunes and grasses and is truely phenomenal setting. Pastel tops, khakis, polos shirts, sweaters, sun dresses and capris work well here. A nice place to say for one or two nights (if you are traveling north for this sitting)  is Watervale Inn in Arcadia which is a 10 minute drive south. www.watervaleinn.com They have quite affordable rooms in the lodge.

http://maps.google.com

There are four locations that I am very happy and comfortable with. They have enouth unique characteristics so that each sitting should have its own signature. The studio is willing however to consider other places and posibilities that are meaningful to the customer.

PROOFS:

Proofs from sittings may be emailed to the customer (low resolution and watermarked) OR a spiral bound proof book may be presented within 1-2 weeks after the sitting. The proof book will be 4"x5" for groups of 1-5 people and larger groups will be presented with a 5"x7" proof book. Both electronic and proof books may be printed in color or black and white or a combination of both. Reprints may be ordered in both black and white and color. The proofs are uncropped, unretouched and primarily used to judge the subject's expressions. The difference between a proof and a finished print is considerable. Proof books are available for sale or are included with reorders that exceed $300.
