At the end of August we got together with our friends Shannon and Benjamin for a creative shoot in the Bay Area of Michigan. Shannon and Ben are both very talented local artists and we were excited to collaborate with them to show our future couples what a longer photoshoot looks like based around activities you enjoy doing together. We made some magic with Shannon and Ben as the lazy days of summer rolled slowly on towards autumn’s inevitable arrival. 

We began with a little lifestyle photography in Shannon’s lovely home in Bay City, Michigan. Surrounded by her wonderful art and eclectic found furniture, the couple read to one another in bed and spent the time much as they would if we weren’t there. From there we moved to a lovely little river park where the pair enjoyed a quick picnic of pastries and fruit as the sun was beginning to set. 

We wrapped up the session with Shannon and Ben riding their bikes around the ever-so-lovely downtown Saginaw as the city lights began to turn on. We have been very fortunate in the way of creative shoots with friends this year and this session with Shannon and Ben was as fun as they come.
