Another senior session at our gorgeous river access spot! We had photographed Bella’s sister, Rose, in preparation for her graduation in years prior at Belle Isle and Eastern Market, but Bella wanted to do a more natural background for her senior photos. Since it was autumn, we suggested one of our favorite locales near the river. We love this secret spot because it’s so quiet and peaceful—the perfect spot to just relax and enjoy your session! While we’ve photographed here in all seasons ......

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 ......

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 ......

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.   ......

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 ......

The cross in Madison's First Communion photos has special meaning because it is her moms. Items like this make professional photography much more meaningful, especially for First Communion photos. These occasions are very special in the Catholic faith. After years of religious preparation, little girls cannot wait to wear their first white fancy dress complete with a veil and boys are typically excited to wear their very first suit. Madison looked so pretty when she came ......

Capture A Moment has photographed Connor's family since before he was born! Mom brought him in for a quick mini session to celebrate his birthday this year. Our mini sessions are 30 minutes in length and can take place in the studio or on location. They include online proofing and 5 high resolution images of your choice. A quick session like this is often just the right length of time to capture a busy toddler! Thanks for coming in Connor. We love&nb ......

HI Everyone, meet Hannah! Hannah is a long-time client of ours. She recently had school pictures taken and wasn't really happy with the outcome. Capture A Moment to the rescue! We met up with Hannah at George George Park and did a quick session so that she would have pictures to remember this age by. We are happy to help out in any way that we can. We know that there can sometimes be limitations with the local school photographers. We understand and ......

Joseph Gudenau is a Senior at the International Academy of Macomb and plays football for his home school, L'Anse Creuse High School. Because of his love for football and lacrosse, we headed to the field for his Senior Pictures. His letterman jacket and football made great props in the photos. We like our clients to bring a variety of props and clothing options so that we have something to work with when customizing the shoot. Joe made us laugh when we asked him ......

George George Park is a popular location for high school students whether it be Homecoming, Prom, Graduation or Senior Pictures. The park is located in Clinton Township and features walking paths, a picnic pavilion and fountain plaza located on 30 acres of land. Anna Plotkowski from Chippewa Valley High School chose George George for her Senior Photos. When you've been to a location many times and love its scenery, it helps add to the comfort level which was a key reason w ......

Up next on the blog are these three fun loving, crazy kiddos! Mom wanted to revisit a watermelon themed shoot that we had done together a few years prior, and include her youngest this time arond, (affectionately given his own hashtag, #toocuteluke). ;-) Photographing 3 kiddos at one time can be challenging and arguably stressful for mom, but we all worked together and had a great time. After what seemed like a million rain related reschedules, the weather finall ......

Ang and I have had the pleasure of working with this family and seeing them grow for some time now. Here are some sneak peeks from our latest session. Cindy and James... it has always been a blast spending time with you two and both of your lovely girls. Even with as active as they both are, and sometimes a little camera shy, I think we got some good ones. Here are some of our favorites. We hope you love them as much as we do. :)

Welcome to world Paisley! We have been working with this beautiful family for quite some time. We were so excited when we found out the family was expanding. It was a bit tricky getting both kiddos in one picture but you can already tell that they will be best buds. Paisley is a beautiful little model and we are looking forward to watching them both blossom. Thank you for trusting us with your precious and perfect family. ......

We've been lucky enough to follow this cutie since he was just a brand new little dude. :) Today, Mom and Dad brought him into the studio to commemorate his first year. (Holy cow, how did that happen so fast???) For todays session, Mom and Dad opted to go with our 30 minute mini session and it was just the right amount of time for Lincoln. We got in two sets and two outfits, along with a family photo, before Lincoln decided he was done being a model f ......
