Our mission is simple: Let us make you feel amazing. With years of experience photographing women of all shapes and sizes, we know how to help you look and feel your best.

Easter Mini Sessions are back for 2023! This has become an annual tradition for Capture a Moment Photography and our clients (check out last year’s minis here), and we know from past experience that these photoshoots book up fast. So hop to it and reserve your spot before they’re gone! What makes our Easter mini sessions so popular? These spring-themed sessions are designed to give you more than just snapshots. Your finished portraits are perfect to display in your home or give as gifts to y ......

Trying to distract ourselves from the blast of winter going on outside, we flash back to Mia's first birthday shoot. That year went by so quick. We just can't believe it? One of the things you have to get used to as a photographer (but never really do) is how quickly time flies. When you photograph kids as teenagers that you first saw in the studio as toddlers, it’s a reminder of just how fast things change, and how important it is to document life’s special moments and milestones. Don ......

Looking for something special to give the person who has everything? Want to make a difference that lasts a lifetime with your gift this year? At Capture a Moment Photography, we believe there’s nothing you can give that is as unique, meaningful, and lasting as the gift of memory. When was the last time you got your loved ones together for a family portrait? If you’re like most people, the answer is probably, “It’s been a while.” We get it. Life gets busy. The holidays get busy. But th ......

Loved seeing this family back in our studio for some updated family photos and holiday pictures! We have seen them for previous sessions (as a matter of fact, if you visit our new studio location in downtown Mt. Clemens, you’ll see some of the artwork from one of their past sessions hanging in our window) and it’s always such a pleasure to spend time with them. At Capture a Moment Photography, while we love each and every one of our families, we have a special place in our hearts for our rep ......

If you think you have to wait for a special occasion to take family photos, think again. As our business name suggests, we are all about capturing moments for your family, no matter what stage of life you’re in. This particular mom told us she hadn’t done family photos for a long time and decided to schedule a mother daughter photoshoot to capture this time with her ten-year-old daughter. We always joke that the time to take photos is while the kids still like us parents, but the truth is th ......

Baby on the way? We are right in the middle of busy season for high school seniors right now—but that doesn’t mean we don’t have time for juniors too! We love our newborn families and were so excited to help mom and dad welcome little Soren to the world with a special newborn photography session. This little man was a total sweetpea (so yeah, we had to use our cute little pea-in-a-pod setup!) and his parents were amazing too! We loved Dad’s baseball cap—perfect for the occasion. Soren ......

We are excited to announce that Capture a Moment Photography will be moving next month! We are headed back to our original home city of Mount Clemens, Michigan—near where both of the professional photographers on our team make their homes. This move will allow us to be on hand to participate in all the special events set up by the city. And we’re thrilled to be joining a wonderful collection of retailers, attractions, and restaurants in the downtown area. We know you’ve come to know and lo ......

It isn’t easy being a tween right now. Adolescent development AND a pandemic! Not only are they going through changes in themselves that are difficult to process, they are living in a time filled with uncertainty and change. These challenges are very real. Angela Bilen and Jen Dera are the owners of Capture A Moment Photography in New Baltimore. As the mothers of tweens/teens and with their main clientele being senior grads and families with children, they’ve witnessed firsthand what yo ......

First Communions for Catholic families are a very special occasion. Tommy and Emma have both had Communion sessions with us. They are long-time clients of ours and we treasure the friendship we have built with their family over the years. Emma’s Communion photography took place in 2018 at our New Baltimore studio. We utilized flowers, several settings and mirrors to produce some unique visual effects. Tommy had his photos taken at George George Park this past year. Emma joined him in a pr ......

We are excited to announce the You Are My Sunshine Limited Portrait Event on March 27th. You Are My Sunshine offers your child the opportunity to visit and be professionally photographed with Kitty, a real-live Easter Bunny. These portraits go above and beyond regular mall rabbit photos. They are works of art that can go on display in your home. Our 20 foot long set features decorated eggs, lights, bunnies, spring flowers and lots more. It is actually 3 sets in 1 so that we offer you a var ......

Your senior graduation photos need to be uniquely you! This only happens once in your life and these photos are meant to commemorate who YOU are. Style your photos using your own clothes and unique look. Think about what props you might want to use that convey who you are and evoke memories. The location you choose can help to bring it all together. Locations across Metro Detroit range from the shores of Anchor Bay, the fountain & green settings of George George Park, the historic backdrop ......

Each year we create a unique set designed to accommodate up to 6 family and friends and a Real, Live, Reindeer! The set is approximately 20 foot by 30 foot and is large enough to allow our guests and Prancer the unique opportunity to move around.

We loved having Ava at her session. Her parents, Nancy and Tom, were hoping for casual and fun photos when they came into the studio. We think we got it! Ava looked sweet in her pink dress that was once owned by her mom when she was a baby. This dress is even more special because it was made my Ava's great-grandma! Using an heirloom like this in photos makes them so much more personal. Our clients have great tips and tricks that we like to pass on. This i ......

Welcome to the world baby EJ! When they found out they were pregnant, this little guy's proud parents Eli and Karoline could barely believe it. They, like all new parents we talk to, were completely starstruck when they first saw his face. EJ was born on May 3 and weighed in at a healthy 7lb 7oz and was 21in long.Mom and Dad came armed with props for this session. We love when families bring in special items to customize their experience just a bit more.   ......

This is big brother Carter and his baby sister Callie! Carter is a smart little guy who loves to help people and Callie is a goofball that loves to make people laugh. They have hearts of gold and smiles that will make you melt. Their lovely mom, Katie, wanted fun pictures of her babies enjoying the outdoors of George George Park. Their summery, matching outfits truly brought a sparkle of sunshine to the session.We were so happy to be able to see little Miss Callie again! The last time ......

Welcome Lemmen Family to the blog. We enjoyed a session with the Lemmen Family in Downtown New Baltimore. We weren't convinced the rain would hold out for us, yet again, but it did. The beauty of a nearly rainy day is that the sun stayed hidden which allows us to take our clients anywhere we'd like and not worry too much about sun in the eyeballs, (not fun for anyone)!! Total bonus for this family especially since we were downtown during an event on Washington Street and had to ......

This is baby Ryker! The world welcomed this perfect little gift on May 26th, 2018. New mom Ashley and her husband were the first to greet their daughter when she entered the world as Ashley needed an emergency c-section. The rest of her family finally got to meet her later that day. It was a huge surprise to these new parents when they found out the baby was a girl, because they had thought she would be a boy! As with all Newborn sessions, we have everything you mig ......

Hi gang! Today on the blog you get to meet Chloe, the 6 pound, 14 ounce bundle of sweetness who belongs to Melissa and Kris. This session took place in the Capture a Moment Photography Studio, and we were able to capture some of our favorite newborn images to date! Melissa reports that her favorite part of our session time together was how laid back it was and how we made her feel right at home! Thanks, Melissa, we try to set a calm and relaxing environm ......
