Sure, come on in. But the cheese stays outside.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I'm Sinead and I want to take your picture.

I know, I know. This is supposed to be the part where I tell you about my photo degree (yes, I have one), my awards, (yeah, got those, too) and about how my passion for photography was sparked by the birth of my children. Oh, wait. Hold up. I don't have any children! So let's just keep it real. . .

I do have a passion for photography and it goes back almost as far as I can remember. I love making photographs, I love people, and I am all about having fun. Senior pictures are the ideal photo gig for me.

And how do you get in front of my camera? Simple. Choose your date, call to see if I'm available, and book your session. We'll have a blast, you will look awesome (or should I say sick?), your friends will love your pictures, and your mom will even have a few photos that she can be proud of. (Hey, don't knock it. After all, where would you be without Mom?)

I like to keep things chill and I will never ask you for cheesy poses or fake smiles. I want to see who you are, right here, right now, at this never-to-be-repeated moment in time. In return, I'll give you photographs that you'll be proud to show everyone you know. Easy. Fun. Relaxed. Sound good? Well what are you waiting for? Let's do this!

Miss C

We had a lot of fun with Miss C’s senior portraits last week. She and her mom drove in from Dexter and we had photo adventure both in and out of the studio. Miss C is a member of the Class of 2009 at Dexter High School. She is on the equestrian team and runs cross country, as well. Hard to believe that she has the time, but she’ll also be doing some modeling for us this year, so you’ll be seeing lots more of her. In the mean time, take a look at her sneak peek. Enjoy!

A Model Opportunity

Loft by Sinead is a proud member of SPA — Senior Portrait Artists. Every year, SPA selects models from around the country to win a trip to the national convention and model for the many fabulous photographers who will be present there.

When you have your senior portraits done at Loft by Sinead, you can also choose to enter the SPA model competition. We would love to have some of you selected to represent Loft by Sinead at the 2009 convention in Las Vegas! If you’re interested, make sure to book your appointment right away. We have to submit your pictures to SPA by the 30th of September. And guys, this is not just for the ladies!

Good Luck!

Meet Mr. M

Mr. M’s mom called me about his senior portraits last year. After so much anticipation, I can’t believe the session is already over! We had a great time with M., who is a member of the Class of 2009 at Ann Arbor Huron. Here’s a sneak peek from his session:

OMG, They’re Back!

I totally hate that I watch this, but I can’t help it! What do you think? Love? Hate? Don’t care? The comment box is open!

The Loft is Live!!!

OK, guys: our brand new, gorgeous website is live!
The first five people to visit the site and leave me the names of each image gallery in the comment box below will get $75.00 off of the $250.00 session fee! You have to be a high school senior to comment (so don’t ask mom, your little brother, or the dog to do it for you) and the contest ends when we have five comments.
What are you waiting for???

Coming Soon !

Our new website is scheduled to launch within the next 36 hours. I’m so excited to finally have a place just for you! Keep your eyes open: I’ll be announcing some great specials as soon as the site goes live!

Meet Miss A.!

Miss A is one of our senior spokesmodels from Ann Arbor Pioneer High School. The minute I met her, I knew I just had to do her senior pictures. Thanks for waiting so patiently so see your sneak peek, A.! You’re going to have a big surprise when our new website launches on Monday! But for now, enjoy these:

Contest Extended!

OK, OK. You have until Friday! Now tell me what you’re listening to.

Pimp My Playlist

So. I have an ipod full of music that I like, but, as is usually the case with such things, my music may not be yours. I’d love to know what you’d like to listen to when you come to the studio.
Send me a list of your top ten songs. I’ll post them here and we’ll have a little contest. The person who sends in the winning list will get a $20 itunes card. If the winner is a high school senior (class of ‘09) they will also get 50 extra 411 cards if they book their senior portrait session with us.
Contest is open to high school students only and ends Monday at midnight. Get on it! I’m listening.

RSSAA Prom

Some friends from RSSAA stopped by on their way to prom last Saturday night. It’s always fun to work with students from a school with an arts-based curriculum. We had a blast!
