Where is L'envie Photography located?
L'envie Photography is located in Sterling Heights, MI, at Clinton River Rd and Schoenherr.
​
Where will the shoot take place?
Depending on the type of session, I can shoot at my house, your house or at various locations around southeast Michigan. Sterling Heights has many parks, including Dodge Park and Farmstead Park, within a half mile of our location. I also have favorite photography spots on the east side and west side.  
​
So your house is a studio?
I have set up studio space in many rooms, including backdrops. There is also a private flower garden and garage in the back. I like to take advantage of as much natural light as I can and I specialize in finding unique backgrounds in limited spaces.
​
How far will you travel?
Pricing is set for a maximum of about an hour of drive time. I will travel farther for an additional cost. While searching for rare bird sightings, I've been all over Michigan and well into Ohio.
​
What is your cost for events?
It depends on the amount of time. If you're having a special event, I recommend contacting me for a consultation.
​
I looked at the galleries. Do you shoot seniors?
Yes. The best comparison would be the Glamour gallery.
​
Do you shoot weddings?
I do specialize in portraits but occasionally, I will accept a wedding. I was in the wedding business for over twenty years. I recommend contacting me with any wedding inquiries.
​
Do you edit the pictures?
Depending on the session you choose, you will receive a certain number of edited photos, both full-sized and 4X6 resized. I do a basic retouching to remove blemishes, scars, bruises and stray hairs. I also tend to retouch a single image with multiple effects so you may get color, black and white, sepia, spot colored, etc.
​
Do you shoot in black and white?
I can but with digital photography, there really isn't any need. Plus, it's a lot easier to make a color photo black and white than it is to make a black and white photo color.
​
Do you have more examples?
There are some different photos on L'envie's Facebook page. Also, if you want to schedule a consultation, I have a tablet with additional images. 
 
What is the next step?
If you are interested in talking about a sitting or an event, you can contact me by e-mail, text or phone for a phone consultation. We will discuss what you are looking for and either schedule a session or a one-on-one meeting where we can talk further about details.
