It never ends…new toys…photographers are dangerous. If you’re in a relationship with one, be careful.  They can justify any new purchase.  Oh, that’s right if you’re reading this, you’re the dangerous one.

Bloomfield Hills Portrait Photographers Mary DuPrie The first image of Carly is the most requested makeup that Tammy Pore is asked for from brides and the featured image on her website.  But when she does it like that they want it tweaked, she’s confused.  I mentioned they don’t mean it literally, they just love how […]

Detroit Michigan Comp Card Photographers Mary DuPrie Well I thought I would give computer hell a rest for now and just do a tech post, yeah!  We all love those. The behind the scenes pic breaks down like this, working from the inside out. The black panels are black Venitian Plaster troweled on a piece […]
