Antique Car and a Beautiful Model | Door County Photographer

May 19, 2015 by Ana Collins Leave a Comment

This session is going to come in several stages because we shot it in a few locations for different looks. I had the privilege of working with the beautiful and talented model Cassandra again. I met her through Shaunae during my mentor session. We spent the entire afternoon together traveling throughout Door County to make amazing images.

We shot in Door County, Wisconsin and the very kind owners of this beautiful car allowed us to use it for this vintage session. The car was amazing it was a yellow Willis Jeepster. It is such an amazing car!

I had so much fun during this session which was also published in Pinup Alternative Magazine. And I mean, how gorgeous is Cassandra in these?!

Alyssa | Sturgeon Bay Senior Photographer

October 8, 2014 by Ana Collins Leave a Comment

Alyssa is a senior at Sturgeon Bay High School. Her session took place at Crossroads at Big Creek in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. I love Crossroads; it’s a beautiful location year round and gives so much variety. It was pretty cold the day of the session so we moved fast so Alyssa did not freeze (or get too many bites). You cannot even tell she was freezing. Alyssa is so sweet and I loved photographing her.

Alyssa’s review of our session was: “You’re really fun to have take pictures and you make it all feel natural!” This makes me so happy to hear because that is what I strive for. I don’t ever want anyone to leave a session feeling awkward and uncomfortable. I want them to be themselves and have fun!

Mariah | Sturgeon Bay Senior Photographer

September 24, 2014 by Ana Collins Leave a Comment

This senior session was a little different than my regular sessions because Mariah wanted some photos with Tater, her horse. I had never taken photos with a horse before but I’m always up for something new (plus, I love creating session that are meaningful to each senior). The session took place on her family’s property in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Also since Rachel, her step-sister, is also a senior we combined both their senior sessions. However, I think they deserve their own posts, so check back next week to see Rachel’s senior pictures!

I had a blast working with Mariah. And she has the most amazing blue eyes. I also love that I was able to capture a few photos of her interacting with Tater, because those are always my favorite photographs. Her outfits were also perfect for senior pictures because they are classic and do not take attention away from her face.

On the Water | Door County Family Photographer

September 1, 2014 by Ana Collins 6 Comments

I love whenever I get the opportunity to capture families. However, this session was even more special to me because it is a session of my own family. They visited Door County from California for a week back in Auguast. I am so happy I was able to do this session.

The session took place at our grandparents’ house, which offered gorgeous greens as well as a water view (the perfect location). Morgan is one and a half and completely adorable. The red chair she is sitting on belonged to my Grandpa (her great grandpa), so we thought it would be special to use that as a prop. This also allowed him to be a part of the session. And, even better, Morgan loved that chair because then she could “be like everyone else.”

Since we had their whole family in one place it was the perfect opportunity to take some generational photographs. It is so special that there were 4 generations in one place.

I am thrilled to share this session!

and thank you to my Auntie Sue for suggesting I get a photo with grandma too (and Zane for taking it).

Door County Softball

A couple weeks ago I went to a softball game. My friend, Morgan, was one of the coaches for team Alberts. It was a beautiful night and a lot of fun (even though they lost). After the game I took a few team shots as well as Morgan and Falon with their team. They are adorable!
