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 ......

Thank you to Santa, his reindeer, and our amazing clients for such a fun holiday event this year! Our Santa and reindeer photos were a blast. So glad the big man and Blitzen made time to come down from the North Pole so we could get ready for Christmas with these fantastic sessions.. Our annual holiday photo experience has become one of the highlights of our year—and it’s the same for so many of our families! While Santa has joined us in the studio before, and we’ve also done pictures ......

Guess who’s coming to town? Nope, it’s even better than Santa Claus. A new baby! It was so fun to see this family again as they get ready to add a new member. (That “About to Pop” picture isn’t kidding, by the way. We barely managed to squeeze these holiday family and maternity photos in before baby’s due date!) We know it can be a challenge to schedule multiple sessions for different types of photos—especially at this busy time of year. To keep things simple, we decided that rathe ......

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 ......

Beautiful weather, beautiful setting, and beautiful family—what more could a team of family photographers ask for? We had a wonderful time doing this outdoor family photo session for the Estrada family recently. Jason (Dad) is from here in Michigan, and Crystal (Mom) is from Arizona, where they currently live. They were in Michigan visiting family and wanted to squeeze a family photo session into their trip. We’re so glad they got in touch with us! We did this outdoor family photo session at ......

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 ......

Happy Easter, friends! We had so much fun celebrating this special season with our clients—and, of course, our good friend the Easter Bunny (a.k.a. Kitty!) She’s such an awesome bun and always makes our spring event extra fun for the kids!

We're excited to announce the date for our annual Easter Limited Portrait Event on March 26th this year! This has become a client favorite. Reserve your spot for professional spring-themed portraits and a visit with a real live Easter bunny!

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 ......

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 ......

Rebecca and Jared Chauvin asked us to join their family at George George Park for a family photo session. We love this park because of the fountains and number of family friendly locations to take pictures at. Rebecca said she enjoys it as well due to its beautiful settings. The Chauvin's have twins, Gavin and Rena. These cuties are TWO years old! They looked adorable in their outfits. Rebecca kept it simple and bought the clothes at Janie and Jack.& ......

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 ......

Abby and Katie brought a bright and sparkling aura to the studio. It's hard to believe it was their first time visiting our studio because of how natural they were in front of the camera! Abby is the big sister who acts as a role model for her baby sister Katie. Abby is passionate about archery while Katie loves to dance and listen to music. These beautiful girls stole the show with their dazzling smiles. Their mom and dad were hoping to have a cute and fun session that capt ......

Rachel and Nathan Landoski are the proud parents of Camden (2) and Chase (1). It is a pleasure to have them as repeat clients of ours! Rachel initially booked a location shoot at the Mt. Clemens Train Station however we actually ended up with too much sun! The station has full sun at a certain point during the day and without clouds, we needed to make a location switch. Plan B: In-studio with a train station backdrop! The kids are at the age where they LO ......
