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.

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 ......

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 ......

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 ......

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.

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 ......

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 ......

Congratulations Halle on your 2018 Graduation fromFraser High School! Recently, we headed back to her High School to photograph just a few more images before her final days as a High School Student. Halle was a part of our High School Senior Model team for the 2017/2018 season. We had a wonderful time with her during her First High School Senior Session at Belle Isle last fall. As always, she has a beautiful smile on hand as we photographed her with her Color Guard f ......

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 ......

Ellie (9 months) came in for Easter/Spring photos as part of her First Year package. We did Christina's maternity photos before she had her little girl and she decided to purchase the First Year package at that time. Christina likes the package due to the props, pricing and the fact that we do well with kids & babies (we hear that often!) This package allows families to document the milestones that take place during your child's first year. Kids change so quickly dur ......
