Central Michigan Senior Photographer

Central Michigan Senior Photographer

I believe your senior photos should show your individuality,

personal style, and unique beauty. Here's my process and how we capture your own magic...

I make Planning a Breeze. 

I’m here to support all aspects of planning our photoshoot together.   We will communicate thoroughly about session vision, location, outfits, meaning for getting portraits taken, and must-have photos. This is completed through emails, session questionnaires, and phone calls. We will collaborate on all our ideas to ensure everything is planned out to meet your expectations. I will answer your questions along the way and explain all there is to know to ensure you understand everything before your session. This communication is vital to allow us to form a relationship prior to meeting at our photoshoot too. I encourage a phone call so we can chat and connect before, it’s one of my favorite aspects of the planning process. I feel more like your friend rather than just your photographer. We will have fun chatting all while going over everything so you feel confident that I have you covered. You will feel beyond confident throughout my entire photo session process, due to the time, we take to plan and connect. 

I got you Covered.

I mean, I have you covered 1000% with the details on your session day.  I am your hair’s best friend. I will double-check to make sure all the pockets are tucked in, zippers are zipped, the wrinkles in your shirt are smooth, etc. I am highly a detail-oriented person. I always ask if you have a preferred side. We take the time to go over exactly how you like your hair to lay. You will see me running back and forth always adjusting your hair as we discussed. Before we start I will go over the specifics of my posing methods and goals with you. We will go over exactly how I will pose to you and what to expect. You will know all the whys behind what I do during a session as I will let you know beforehand and talk to you about the details as we move through our session together. I include those who attend the session with you to shout out anything that sees that needs to be adjusted.

I often show you the back of the camera so you know exactly how AMAZING you look and so you get an idea of what I see. I will often tell you exactly what I am looking for in each pose/prompt I give you. I have a kit for emergencies with various items in my camera bag plus a large portable pop-up changing room. No matter what it is, I've got you covered!

We’re going to be Friends.

What I value most is connection. That is the center of my photo approach, connecting with you. I will feel more like your 'photo friend Alli' rather than just your photographer. It is the reason you will have such a wonderful time during your photo session. Your images will reflect you at ease, having fun, laughing, and showing your true personality, with your photo friend Alli behind the lens. Having a connection with your photographer is important so you can feel comfortable showcasing your personality during your session. It is vitally important to the success of your photo session experience to hire a photographer that takes the time to get to know you. In the end, your photos will depend on it! That is why getting to know you on a friend level is such a big part of my senior experience. I see you as my friend, way more so than a client. Life is better with people by your side, and friends in your corner rooting for you! It’s exciting to get to know my people and keep in touch years down the road. It is so special! I am still in touch with many of my past seniors, always commenting on their social media posts and giving them hugs and waves during social events! I will get to know you on a human, friend level. Expect a friend for life once you get to know me! Your photo freind, Alli! 

I will showcase YOU.

I am all about observing and learning who YOU are as a person. With my years of experience, I am able to read my subjects in a matter of a few minutes. This is part of the art and science of photographing individuals. 

Do you know what makes you an individual? It's your uniqueness in the aspects of your personalityβ€”the differences in how you portray your emotions. The contrasting ways your emotions make you act: how you giggle, smile, talk, react, look at someone, walk, dance, and ultimately think differently than everyone else. During our session, I will photograph these differences in your emotion. There is a difference in the energy when you are around others, you may be overall authoritative or you may be more delicate, either way, you will have a different reaction to me as your photographer giving you direction making it certain your images will be unique to you and feel like YOU! There is not ONE person on this earth that is the same; I will be showcasing YOUR personality, by not just putting you in poses but also using prompts to get your reaction, with the goal being to capture you being yourself! Because you being your authentic self, is the best you of all. When you show up simply as yourself, that is when the BEST photos emerge. Be ready to let loose to be the real you, trust in the process, and create images that feel like YOU!

I’m there to Laugh with You.

Trust me, one thing about my personality is that I am ready to have fun WITH you during our session. We will be smiling and laughing together the entire time. Imagine your photographer dancing around, laughing with you during your photo session hyping you up… that will be me! I love to partake in showing you the fun prompts that I've created to get your unique reaction too. You will not be alone when I give you these prompts, we will both be moving around and interacting together. There is a method to my session approach, I often say trust the process. I will be constantly directing you and giving you positive feedback. So you can be certain the session is going well and you are doing great while having your photo taken. Expect me to hype you up our ENTIER session. I get so ecstatic and so excited when I photograph people!  I promise I’ll be there, present in the moment with you. All my attention goes to you, to laugh, connect, and have fun during our time together!

I will ensure you Enjoy your Session. 

You will be greeted with an enthusiastic, friendly welcome! That energy will carry through our session. My top priority as your photographer is ensuring you as my subject is comfortable and enjoying yourself. This is the most important component of my session approach and the foundation of my photoshoots. When you feel your best, you will look your best. When you are having a great time, your images will reflect that. You will see and feel the difference in the photos that you are enjoying your time in and are fully yourself. Great photos are a result of a great time had by all! As your photographer I will feel more like a friend as we connect further during our session by joking, smiling, and laughing back and forth. You will feed off of my positive energy and enjoy the entire experience. The energy I bring to the session is vibrant and joyful.  My favorite part of my photography approach is bringing out genuine personality with an enjoyable atmosphere, by encouraging true laughter with fun interactions. I work to create a happy, upbeat, comfortable, and enjoyable session atmosphere. With my years of experience, I know how to make my sessions feel natural and guided. The Alli Jo Photo approach is a session experience you will remember with a smile.

About Alli Jo Photo’s Senior Rep Group

Senior Year is All The Magic

.

Senior Year is All The Magic .

I created my senior rep group to bring seniors girls together from all different schools to connect and have fun!

As simple as that statement above sounds it's so powerful when you bring people together! The positive aspects that come out of connection are unmatched. Each person gets something out of feeling connected to another person/group, whether in a big or small way. My senior rep group gives my seniors another chance to network in a fun and relaxed environment. 

In the past, I have had senior reps from Alma, Ithaca, St. Louis, Shepherd, Mt.Plesant, and Carson City. On average I have 12-17 reps per year. My senior rep group is an all-girl group.

 

I bring my senior girls together to connect and have fun by hosting multiple group sessions during their senior year. My goal is to have the girls just know OF each other- so they can simply give a friendly wave to one another when they see each other in a social setting. Bringing them together opens the door to new possibilities between each of them for the future. It’s a fun networking opportunity that reloves around having FUN!

One example is that I have had seniors from two different schools meet within my rep group, and find out they were going to the same college and room together! They are great friends to this day. 

We meet up to take individual photos as well as group photos. I will send you outfit inspiration and pictures of the backdrop prior to the shoot. You will have so much fun preparing and picking out outfits for our sessions. You can attend as many groups session as you want. You do not have to attend all of the sessions, you certainly can! I know how busy senior year is so that is why I created multiple sessions throughout the year to give you lots of opportunities. Our group sessions normally last 1-2 hours and are held mostly over the wintertime. During each session, I have interactive games for the girls to play together while they wait to have individual photos taken- these include interactive games/ice breakers, like charades or taking funny selfie challenges with a partner. So you can imagine how much FUN we all have and how many laughs are shared.

Along with the group session benefits, you are able to receive discounts on your package price with participation!!!! I give away a HUGE gift at the end of the year - you will be able to have your name put in the drawing multiple times by participating,
