Michigan Portrait Photography by Mary DuPrie I love this image of Carly.  I haven’t shot her in forever.  Another background using mirrors.  These mirrors are road side find.  Just bi-fold doors, and the price was just right… free.  I love how mirrors give you a hair light and rim light in one.  Using my 85 […]

Metro Detroit Commercial Photography by Mary DuPrie The real Leo giving his best James Bond impression. Growing up with a name like Mary isn’t exactly inspiring.  Kinda boring everyday name.  I grew up during the days of Karen’s, Sues and Debbie’s.  So when I got this email today it all came back.  There was one […]

Detroit Michigan Portfolio Photography by Mary DuPrie The sitting never ends, it’s really out of control.  Something keeps popping up.  The list doesn’t go away, it just changes.  I would have to say my shooting is 5% and the rest is 95% and most of that is sitting right here on my computer.
