Emily had been sick and because she missed practice, was unable to participate in the next meet against Churchill. She brought one of our camera and captured some interesting perspectives:

So when Leah and Steve said they wanted different / amazing photos we thought right we have heard this before. We thought Different meaning cheesy stuff? NO! They wanted photos that were different and they were up for anything!

So you went to another photographer and it wasn’t such a good experience.
Do your high school senior graduation photos blow?
Or maybe you are just unhappy with them.
Here is your chance to get something really cool with out breaking the bank. It is our one time only Second Chance program in response to hearing from so many mothers that they are just so unhappy with the photos they had taken from other studios. And we have also heard that if they could do over again…. Life rarely gives you a second chance, a do over, a mulligan, BUT WE WILL!
For the months of Nov and Dec you can get a 20 minute special session for $99. If this is of interest to you please call (734) 560-3115 or email us at cbutler@craigdavidbutler.com more information on this special offer.
Stipulations: You must have had your photos completed by another photographer (obviously since ours are so cool). You must be graduating this year (2010). You know realize there is better out there actually here.







We have been building such an amazing portfolio all year and finally reached our peak with Kari & John (don’t worry October and November wedding couples we are continuing to surpass each week!). Incredible day as the rain stopped the clouds opened up and these two Microsoft employees were the focus of one of our favorite Same Day Edits (which received a standing ovation at the reception)!

Watching these wonderful kids grow. Addison just as cute as her sister was on the move and the second photo I believe captured it perfectly.


We had the opportunity to capture Finn’s Mom & Dad up on Mackinac Island a couple of years back. Many of you will remember the image of a great beach shot with the light houses. Then Finn came along and within a few days we had the pleasure of capturing his first images:


Back at the beautiful Meadowbrook Hall with Gina & Eli – on a somewhat more damp day. The clouds open later on to allow a few great images on the beautiful grounds. Yes Emerald City Design’s own David was also on hand to oversee the final decor of the room.








We took a different tact with Treavor and capture some really great expressions during his High School Senior Portrait Session:



We had such a great time with Jason as we ran him around the building:



The Email we received from Rachel & Bobby:
Craig & Bonnie (Emily,Katie & Mike),WOW!! Bobby and I are just speechless on how everything turned out yesterday with you guys! We just can’t get over that video, we have not stopped talking about it. Everything from the moment we started yesterday to the end of the night just went so smooth, even with me hoisting myself up on some old farm machinery.
We cannot wait to get back from our honeymoon so we can see some more amazing photos! We would just like to thank you for making the most important day in our lives the most relaxed and fun-filled enjoyable day! We love you guys!! -Rachel & Bobby Stephens
