Heritage – Manistee family pictures

Posted on July 18, 2011 by rsalway

Fourth of July weekend was the annual gathering of the Jim and Susan Snyder family at their homestead along the Little Manistee River. Jim’s dad bought the property many years ago as a family cabin. Seventeen years ago Jim and Susan made it their home. The Snyder family is best known in our area as the owners of Ludington’s and Manistee’s premier shoe stores, Snyder’s Shoes, the family business also started by Jim’s dad.

The grand finale to the family picture session was talking everyone into getting into the river. At the end, they couldn’t resist splashing each other!

Farm and Beach – Ludington senior pictures

Posted on July 17, 2011 by rsalway

Allie lives in Virginia but her family owns a farm near Scottville. Every year they visit the Ludington and Scottville area as often as they can so naturally it’s where she wanted her high school senior pictures taken. We started her senior picture day on the farm south of Scottville. We ended the day at the Ludington beach. Here are a few selections from her session.

Long-time friends – Ludington Family Pictures

Posted on July 7, 2011 by rsalway

Recently I had the chance to photograph a long-time friend and her family. I have known Marci since we were both in about first grade — that’s many many years ago. She grew up in Scottville and moved away after high school, landing in the Atlanta, Georgia area. She and her husband Tim and their children try to make it back to the Ludington and Scottville area every year. This year, the top priority was family pictures on the Ludington beach. We had a rough week, though, because there was rain every day of their vacation.

Thanks to their willingness to be flexible in their schedule, we were able to find a short window of opportunity one morning when the sun wasn’t too bright.

Miss Matilda – Ludington children’s photography

Posted on June 28, 2011 by rsalway

We recently had the honor of meeting 14-month-old Miss Matilda. She kept Rob running, while she enjoyed playing in a beautiful field of wildflowers on a perfect Michigan morning. Matilda got to try out some of our new props. These props will soon be making their way into our new studio, which will have a dedicated children’s photography room.

Posted on June 16, 2011 by rsalway

Whether your family is comprised of three people or 18 people (or more), we have the experience to create a portrait that will last a lifetime. Because we are in such a beautiful location like Ludington, summer is typically the time for outdoor photography. Whether it’s your home or the beach, your picture will be a household treasure for years to come. We are also happy to travel to distances along the Lake Michigan shore such as Pentwater, Manistee, Silver Lake, Onekama, Grand Haven, Traverse City or Muskegon, to name a few.

Summer sessions are booking fast. We still have a limited amount of appointments for July. Call us at 231.757.3202 or email alwayphotography@gmail.com.
