Bri - Yellow color theory editorial portraits

If you live in Michigan, you know how precious the first few sunny days of spring are. We wanted to represent the mood of that first time you’re able to roll down your car windows and soak in the 50 degree sunshine, the smell of grass instead of salted roads, and the new forsythia blooms that are a sure indicator that the winter finally gone.

Bri put together the perfect look to suit the new spring mood, and it’s tempting me to turn in by all-black wardrobe for….. colors?

Enjoy the sunshine pretty people!

Emily - Downtown Kalamazoo editorial portrait photography

This is not the first or the last time Emily Crombez is going to make an appearance on the blog.
I got to know her through mutual connections in the photography world, and I’m so glad to have the opportunity to call her a genuine friend. This chick can absolutely kill a pose (Like, the evidence is below) but is also a mad talented photographer and ambitious entrepreneur. She builds up other women like no one’s business, and I will jump at the chance to create something together, always.

We wanted this shoot to showcase Emily’s more editorial posing, so a classic black and white with loads o’ contrast is exactly where my mind went. Downtown Kalamazoo has no end to great textures and urban landscape, which is important when your model is particularly climb-y.

Thanks for being amazing as always Emily!
