HS Senior Portrait Photography New Buffalo and St. Joseph Michigan

If you are in SW Michigan and planning your graduation portrait, you can take advantage of nice spring weather and schedule your portrait session early, while the flowers and trees are blooming and make everything and everybody look and feel happy. 

High school senior portrait in SW Michigan is fun to photograph, because of the great outdoors Michigan provides, from beaches in New Buffalo, Bridgman and great Silver Beach in St. Joseph, to sand dunes in Warren Dunes State Park. For a vintage portrait photography the countryside provides the background, old barns and cottages, fileds, wild flowers and orchards. The area around Three Oaks and Baroda are the most vintage charming. For beautiful portrait photography, be it HS senior portrait, vintage portrait, fashion portrait, come to New Buffalo Michigan.

Spring in New Buffalo

It feels like spring in SW Michigan these days, some flowers started to bloom and others will be very soon. 

Magnolias tree is my favorite.  I wish for an opportunity to photograph an engagement during the early spring and incorporate the beauty of a magnolia tree. Actually, any portrait would do, not only an engagement, high school senior portrait would be lovely too and it would be very easy to accomplish here in New Buffalo. There are several pretty magnolia trees in New Buffalo, not far from New Buffalo High school and late afternoon after the school would be very easy to get some lovely "magnolia portraits" done.

Wedding Photography and Bridal Portrait

Wedding memories and wedding photos should always include a bridal portrait.

But unfortunately the  schedule of the wedding day does not always allow enough time to fit in a bridal portrait. But all is not lost, one can plan in advance and schedule a bridal portrait  in advance.

The bridal portrait photo shoot also serves as a "rehearsal" for the big day. To perfect the hair and the make up, to check if the wedding gown fits just right and to get yourself comfortable wearing it.
Many times, there are little glitches with the wedding gown, the shoes, or the hair and that adds an unnecessary stres to the wedding day. To avoid it, everything should be tested well in advance.
Bridal photo shoot is the most fun rehearsal of them all.

Bridal portrait photo shoot is a chance for the future bride 

to be a model for a day, 

a beautiful model, wearing the most beautiful of all dresses, 

her wedding gown.

     Bridal portrait captured in black and white is romantic, elegant and timeless.
