 Here we are, halfway through 2023. I can't believe it either. Even though the year is speeding by, I'm really pleased with how it's going so far. I hope it's been going well for you too and that you are enjoying summer!

 I'm glad that this project is FINALLY finished!!! It was started back in early 2022 and I intended to finish it that summer but life got away from me and it didn't happen. I was determined that I would get it done this year and it's done!!!
 I found a couple of hidden gem locations in Novi, Michigan in the forms of Lakeshore Park Beach and Pavilion Shore Park. Only about a mile apart, both are situated on Walled Lake and let you get up close to the water for those gorgeous water portraits.
 Hines Drive is a Metro Detroit area favorite for bikers, joggers, rollerbladers, dog walkers... pretty much anyone who wants to get outside and enjoy nature. It also has some beautiful spots for portrait sessions. One thing about Hines Drive is that it can be closed if we have had a lot of heavy rain so if you want to take photos there, it is a good idea to have a backup plan in place, just in case.
 I've told you about The Anastasia Co. before and how much I love the intentional, encouraging, and uplifting products that they sell. Today I am going to SHOW you some examples by sharing a few of my favorite products.
 Island Lake State Park has some beautiful scenery for photo sessions. There are birch trees, beaches, fields, and paths. You can have a variety of backgrounds and some are more unknown than others, which is good because it means we wouldn't have to worry about people as much.
 I've been thinking about how my life works and what I like because of how I was raised and it seems like it comes down to rhythms versus routines. Until recently, I've never given this much thought but I'm trying to dig into why some things work for me and some things don't and the answers are not surprising but eye-opening.
 If you want to brave Ann Arbor, there are some amazing locations for portraits! The hardest part is finding parking, but there is some public parking on Thompson Street that gets you close to these locations I'm going to show you.
For those who want a mixture of a more urban look while still including that natural look, Ann Arbor is just about perfect. It's also nice because you can find a lot of classic looking buildings.  The heat has appeared like THAT! I may feel like I'm melting but I'm getting a great tan, so I'm happy about that development. I can't believe it is already June but this is going to be a great summer and I am so excited for the things that are ahead. I love having things to look forward to :)

Hi! I'm Sarah!
I am a natural light portrait photographer. I've been taking photos since 2014 and would eat a smoothie from Tropical Smoothie Cafe for lunch everyday if I could. Thank you so much for stopping by. I blog about sessions, things I'm learning, stuff in my life, and information for YOU, my client. If you like what you see around the site, I'd love to work with you! I'd also love to connect with you on Instagram. I'm @sarah_jayne_photo :) Archives
