Why being hydrated is a good thing to be for your headshot

  In our blog series about how to have the best headshot for your portfolio, your social media presence and even your business cards, we’d be remiss if we didn’t talk about hydration. Most people don’t believe that hydration is an important step, but it’s actually one of the most important ones to take for […]

Our “Promised……” Photoshoot

I remember sitting at my computer and we (Camille and I) were talking about doing an editorial photoshoot about arranged marriages that are still going on around the world.  How or why we got on this topic is beyond me, but it got our creative juices flowing.  This is when we called upon one of […]

New Name, Site, but still the same team!

LOL, ok I will admit that this was a long time coming but to be honest, change is good.  Why the change after all of these years of being Michael Ali Photography? Well that is a long story and that is why this blog is here. When we first started the site, just like everyone […]

Valentines Day Shoot of Boudoir

First of all, Happy Valentines Day! We’ve had the pleasure over the last couple of months to work with some wonderful talent, and one of the models we worked with surprised us with a wonderful Boudoir experience. When people think of Boudoir photography, even in our day and age, they too often think of a […]
