The state of world health has come to us here in Michigan with a Stay At Home order effective as of 12:00 AM today.

I had been busy photographing portraits, head shots and families in my studio. That came to a halt a week ago when I decided it was safer for all concerned to no longer have people in and shut down all upcoming sessions.

The real estate market, even during the ramp up to the order, was booming and I was photographing one to two listings daily seven days a week since the beginning of the month.

I had been wearing gloves, only doing listing shoots where the occupants were not there and liberally using disinfectant on my hands and cameras.

Yesterday, with the announcement from the governor’s office that, too came to an abrupt halt as my realtor clients shut their offices when all transactions were noted as non essential per the order.. this is still being sorted out but the photo portion hit the brakes.. hard.

None of us know where this will end as we are at the beginning of the process.

I wish all of you well and am thankful I will be OK as I have food and a roof over my head, more than others sadly.

The photos in the composites below are from the studio and I thank the people who shared their time with me to produce these.. more to come in the next few posts.
