Ann Gordon Photography bio picture

Welcome

Hello! My name is Ann and I am a lifestyle photographer from Birmingham, Michigan who specializes in capturing relaxed portraits, super details and real moments for families, friends and seniors in Metro Detroit! This blog follows both my personal and professional life, and features images from my photo sessions, places I visit, daily life and the friends and family members who mean so much to me. It's a place to find [sneak peeks], [session ideas] or just drop in to see what we've been up to. This site is a little more informal and I just want to give everyone a sense of who I am, and what I am all about. Thanks for visiting.

Furry Family Members - Pet Photographer

I have been on a whirlwind tour of Wisonsin and Illinois; traveling to Lake Geneva and Chicago!!  Dogs are members of our families.  They are woven into the fabric of our past, present and future.  Who doesn’t remember their first dog (Dino - they said he was a poodle, but looked more like a mutt!)?  Here are some family members who mean so much, are loveable and loyal beyond measure! 

Hank is a Pug with a sweet personality, timid and snores like a man!

Ellie is a sweetie who aims to please!

 And the aloof Inverness -

Exciting news…..AGP Senior site is ready!

The new Senior site - www.agpseniors.com is up and ready to view!  I will be announcing exciting promotions…shortly!

Seniors are so much fun for me to shoot, they are fresh, fun and energetic!  Who needs to workout when shooting senior sessions, not me. 

The sun was brilliant and there was a bit of a chill in the air while we were shooting Ms. K and Ms. B’s sessions.  Here are a few images from my time with the girls…

Lucky me!

I was fortunate to meet and photograph this beautiful family!  The love and respect they have for each other is inspiring, it shows in every action and interaction between them.  They are fun loving and were willing to move furniture outside and indulge my every pose request!  Everyone brought their own ideas too!  Even Charlie Brown was cooperative, well sort of!!  We had a perfect fall evening for our photo session!  Here is your sneak peek….enjoy!

All Star!

Here is a young man who is athletic, handsome, polite, humble, intelligent, giving, a good friend, great son and brother!  I have known David and his family for over 6 years.  I first met him at school, during an open house, for a school of choice in our neighborhood.  David was our tour guide, he was 11 years old.  He showed us around the school and highlighted the benefits of being part of the school.  He was well spoken, exuberant and answered all of our questions while looking us in the eye.  He is the reason we choose to attend the school!  We were so impressed with this young man!  Fast forward 6 years and David is a Senior in High School, a football player and a handsome guy!!  Here are a few images from our 20 minute photo session!  Thank you David!

 

 

Ann Arbor - Soccer - Michigan Strikers v. Ann Arbor Tigers - U14 Boys

Well, it was the Strikers v the Tigers Premier 1 Michigan Soccer.  The game was exciting, the goals were many and the fouls…well…were missed!  

Michigan Strikers in White.  2-4.

Another “clash” off the field….Einstein and Maggie.  No fouls called in this altercation either!!

Senior sneak peek…

I met J today for the first time and she is the most talented, beautiful, old soul ever!  She has such a beautiful voice and plays the guitar too!  Her voice is the voice you think you have; soft, sweet  and full  of life!!  J has the coolest dog, Sonny or Sonny Boy.  Sonny is a Puggle, part Beagle, part Pug.  He has big brown eyes and energy to spare!  I fell for him immediately.  What’s not to love, cute, cuddly and fun!!

Woodward Ave. Dream Cruise 2008

 Only in Motown…..

The Woodward Dream Cruise is a classic car event held annually on the third Saturday of August. The WDC Event spans much of Woodward Ave. from Pontiac through Ferndale in Oakland County, Michigan, all the way to the State Fair Grounds inside the Detroit city limits, just south of 8 Mile Rd. The event is a tribute to classic cruisers, and attracts nearly two million people and upwards of 40,000 muscle cars, street rods, custom, collector and special interest vehicles each year.  These are the types of cars that were available and prevalent during the 1950s, 60s and early 70s prior to the OPEC oil embargo, which led to the Corporate Average Fuel Economy regulations of 1975 and the proliferation of more fuel-efficient, smaller, and less powerful automobiles. In addition, the Woodward Dream Cruise also welcomes cruisers of all models whose owners have either scrupulously maintained, “souped-up”, or customized their car to create a unique vehicle or statement.

A reported 1.2 Million people enjoyed the Woodward Dream Cruise!  The event is sooo much fun!!
