Last Week In Photography - Portraits, Head Shots, Real Estate and Much More!

It's been a roller coaster month! Things have taken off in a big way. The real estate market has exploded with the onset of good weather and my schedule has been stretched to the limit with listing photo shoots, head shot and portrait sessions.

I've photographed over a dozen people for social media and professional usage, many of them I'm not free to share here as corporate usage restricts publishing.

Here is a small fraction of sample photographs showing what's been produced these few weeks.

Last Week In Photography - More Portraits, Head Shots and Family Sessions

It's been a very busy week or so.... a mixed blessing under the heading "Be careful what you wish for".

Lots of real estate listings and architectural studies coupled with increased head shot and portrait sessions has generated exactly what I wanted... a full schedule and some great people in and out of the studio.

Here are some samples. Clicking on the photos will enlarge them full size

Last Week In Photography - Portraits and Head Shots

When I built out my studio I was hoping to offer portrait/head shot services in the Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor area. Prior to the build out I was effectively out of business in that area once the icy weather set in.

Well, it worked!

This past week I was pleased to photograph a number of folks, some for business and some for personal usage.. all great fun!

Here are a few examples of the mix in the past few sessions!

More on the head shots and portraits next blog but for now here's your serving of cute!

Last Week In Photography - Busy, Busy, Busy

My studio space is drawing loads of activity! Normally I post a combination of sessions but things got a bit crowded so to give each equal time I'm going to up the frequency of my blog entries... lucky you!

These folks brought their new son in and as I'm a portrait guy, rather than just do the standard baby photos we set up fashion lighting and had a ball. Little guy was (mostly) cooperative and we captured some interesting moods from him as well as mother and father.

It was a fun experience!

Last Week In Photography - Inside/Outside - Head Shot Session and Taking Advantage Of The Snowpocalypse

When my studio space opened I knew the usually slow winter months could be more filled by portraits and head shot sessions as potential clients in the Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor area had been contacting me for over a year asking for indoor services during the colder months.

Now that I've been able to assist with these needs activity has been picking up and this week I photographed a woman who's starting her nutrition counseling service. Great session and I look forward to seeing her succeed!

Also, I photographed a local student's senior photos a few months ago and we've been waiting for snow to do a session outside. She LOVES snow and cold weather so we finally connected in Ypsilanti's Candy Cane Park.

Last Week In Photography - Head Shot Session

Among other sessions, still in processing, these photographs are for a new real estate agent in the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti area.

My studio space was not existent last year so having a large, workable area this winter has opened a full season for portraits, family photos and business head shots.

Here is a composite of a few from the day's shoot.

Last Week In Photography - On Site At A Home Based Business

Depending on the source one uses there are about 38 million home based businesses in the United States (including mine).

I was contacted to photograph the owner of a home based business specializing in organizing her clients' lives. She assists students, people with AD/HD, individuals, parents, couples with different organizing styles, kids, teachers and small business owners. The assignment was to photograph her in her work environment to illustrate her consulting style and work-space.

These photographs are a small portion of the over 70 finished images which can now be applied to her website.

Last Week In Photography - A New Year And New Faces

As anyone in The Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor area is only too painfully aware, we started the year with brutally low temperatures and a need to huddle under the covers and fantasize about sun and sand.

Two brave individuals fought the cold and came into my studio. One, a neighbor in my previous neighborhood who was updating his head shots. The other, a real estate agent customer of mine who was immensely helpful in being my model for some lighting tests.

The new year is starting well and as we progress I'll have more to share.

Last Week In Photography - Head shots, Four Legged Family Photos and a Fund Raiser

Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor MI portraits, head shots, senior, family photographer, commercial and food photographer

Last week I was able to photograph a neighbor and her fur family of four on one of the last warmish days of the year. Also I received a request for a head shot session and met a great guy needing to update his profile.

In addition there were company parties and this special event, the Annual Detroit Intermodal Association Toys for Tots fundraiser. I was, for the second year, privileged to be the official photographer for this great event.

Here's the venue and one of the bear tables.. sales of the bears alone raised thousands of dollars in addition to the prize raffles and donations.. a great evening for a worthy cause!

Last Week In Photography - A Couple Revisiting Ann Arbor, An Ann Arbor Family's Holiday Session

As we approach the holiday season I've been taking advantage of the last of the outdoor weather and got lucky twice for two sessions.

A engaged couple currently living in Austin, Texas has been getting photographed in cities they've visited or lived in across the country. Both are University of Michigan, Ann Arbor graduates and it was my pleasure to be contacted and engaged to photograph them as they wandered on campus.

Later in the week I met an Ann Arbor family to photograph them for their holiday cards... great weather once again and loads of fun with this family of six..father, mother, three kids and Bentley the furry one in these photos.

Last Week In Photography - Celebrating A Couple And Meeting A Newborn

Blog Header Stephen Silverberg Photographic LLC

Last week was a great week for photography! Not only did I get to spend one of the last good weather days of the year in a great setting with a wonderful couple but met a newborn I had photographed before he was born.

Beth and Lisa introduced me to the Highland Cemetery in Ypsilanti, a wonderful location with great history. It was a pleasure to accompany them as they educated me and celebrated each other!

Later in the week I met with Azadeh and Nathan, whom I had photographed while their now new son was still in the developmental stage...project completed.. He's a neat baby!

Last Week In Photography - At The End Of The Season A Great Family Session

As anyone in Michigan knows, this has been an odd fall season. The usually amazing colors that bless us as northerners just didn't show us their normal brilliance on a schedule we're used to.

As a result of the unpredictability those of us who love to photograph people in this season had to watch the weather reports more closely than usual and when a nice day popped up this great family and I made a day of it in a local park.

I have one or two more outdoor fall sessions and am so very glad this one went well!

Last Week In Photography - Events to Honor, Fundraisers, Families, Portraits and Real Estate

Ypsilanti / Ann Arbor Family Photographer

Last week was busy!

One event celebrating a lifetime of educational service, another to raise funds for House By The Side Of The Road.. a worthy service organization.

Two families took advantage of the waning warm weather in our local parks and another retreated to the warmth of my new studio when blustery weather cut an outdoor session short.

Finish that off with a real estate listing shoot.

Photoshop is my life!

Last Week In Photography - Head Shots And A Modeling Portfolio

When I built out my studio space I knew it would open a door that had been closed, particularly in Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor's winter season. By having a place to offer head shots, portraits and family sessions and not to be at the mercy of the weather has opened a world of new and exciting opportunities.

This past week I photographed a corporate head shot for an Audiologist, a rush headshot for an Air Force member in need of same day shoot and delivery for her next post in Texas and a session for a delightful young man.. a student at Eastern Michigan University in the Theater Arts program.

Last Week In Photography - Sunset In Saugatuck IV -

Blog post in memory of ones lost - Saugatuck, MI 9/13/17 Blog post in memory of ones lost - Saugatuck, MI 9/13/17 Stephen Silverberg Photographic LLC

Those of you who know me are aware I make a yearly visit to visit my wife, Maureen's, ashes on the bluffs overlooking Oval Beach on Lake Michigan every September 13th.

I lost her to cancer in 2013. This would have been our 31st anniversary and we've been watching the sunset every year since her passing.

This year it was gray and overcast.. a good time to be introspective as the usually busy boat slips were deserted except for a few restaurant goers nearby.

The beach itself was empty of the crush of people leaving it to the gulls and one lone woman and her dogs. Sunset promised to be hidden but the clouds at the horizon cleared just in time for these images to be captured.

The quietness and loneliness of the beach gave me time to reflect on loss, that of my family and others who felt that hole in their lives at her passing.

Yet another reminder to us all to treasure what and who we have and remember we'd pay a lot to have back all those little things we used to think annoyed us.
