You read that right. I am closing the doors of Alene Ruth Photography after 14 years in the business of capturing memories.

This business began as a way for me feed my creative side and try my hand at building something from the ground up. I have loved my photography journey and all the wonderful people I've met along the way. I have some clients that have been with me from the beginning and I'm over here in my feelings about how much that means to me. I have watched your relationships and families grow, and captured your milestones along the way. What a beautiful job.

With that said, it's time for me to move on (physically) and feed a new creative energy. By late fall, my husband and I are headed to South Carolina to chase our dream of living in the south. Stay tuned for a new business venture that is in the works.

In the meantime, I'm wrapping up loose ends and hoping to provide a few more months of photo opportunities for my loyals. I will be taking a very limited number of photo sessions over the next few months. Orders from past sessions and appointments can still be made until September 2024.

Thank you for the memories you've gifted me and for allowing me to capture yours!

Much love, Alene

Just pulled up to the ski slope to do some senior pics. My car says it’s 61°. Worse things could happen

She's probably going to be mad that I posted these ;) I only kid, but really, this beauty doesn't love attention. There are not enough words to describe the fabulousness (not a word) that is Hailee. She is a total sweetheart, humble and kind, hilarious, shy and outgoing at the same time (depending on the crowd), total go-getter and dreamer, people and animal nurturer, and just all around winner. She also happens to be a newlywed, married in September, and building her dream life. So what do you do when you have it all? You take personal branding photos and continue to pursue with reckless abandon. Go get it girl.

Just one to share for now, but I couldn't wait! Look who I got to photograph. I know I'm biased because she is one of my favorite people in the world, but come on. Isn't she just glowing? There is nothing like the feeling of having a soul sister in front of your lens...and on a beach! The purpose of our photo shoot was actually business branding photos for her new website, but we ended our day by playing with a fluffy skirt in the sand and I just love it. Now I need to move to a warmer locale so I can do this type of session more often ;)

A long overdue sneak peek at Amy and Stefan's anniversary photos. Seems appropriate that Thanksgiving is upon us and I am ever so grateful for these two. I have known them and photographed them so many times. I feel so lucky to have a friendship with them that goes beyond our working relationship. But I am also so grateful for their patience as I finished up this gallery. I have been feeling like I've been falling behind on work and life and having their grace has been such a gift. Here are just a few photos that I'm hoping they'll be able to use professionally and also a few to capture 25 years of marriage. What a couple!

Take a peek at a personal branding session from last week in my new studio space. After working out of the same (shared) studio location for many many years, the space closed down and I was forced to look for a new place to host my branding clients. Kristin reached out soon after I had found this new location in Royal Oak and I was so excited. Kristin is in the midst of making a huge career change and wanted a fresh look for herself, for wherever her path leads her. She was so open to whatever looks I wanted to create for her and really trusted the process. I love our results. Wishing Kristin all the best for her new chapter!

Some sneak peeks of another handsome soon-to-be-graduate from Father Gabriel Richard High School. This is Ben Burroughs, senior at FGR, and winner of nicest smile award. That last part is awarded by me ;) Ben joined long-time friend, Donovan, at the McKeon farm for his senior photos. I believe they told me that they'd been friends since kindergarten and it was easy to believe, as there was such an ease and comfort to be around them together. Ben was a total natural in front of the camera. Loved him!

You gotta love a man in a suit. This is Jake McLellan, a senior at Rochester High School. Go Falcons! Jake and I had quite a few reschedules due to weather and life, but we ended up with the perfect day for his senior photos. We even got a little bit of fall color to make an appearance for us. Jake, and his mother Jeanne, were a September afternoon well spent. I'm always grateful to past clients for sending me new people to connect with and enjoy.

This handsome senior is Donovan McKeon from Father Gabriel Richard High School in Ann Arbor. This was such a fun session for me for a few reasons. This was the first time that I was asked to photograph someone from Scott's side of the family, which was an honor. Donovan's mom, LeeAnn, asked me to do some senior photos of Donovan at a place that is very near and dear to the entire extended family. The McKeon Centennial Farm has been in the family for 125 years and the family still gathers here regularly for reunions and special events to reconnect. What a cool spot to create more memories. Donovan is as sweet and kind as he looks and I loved our time here on a gorgeous early fall day.

Happy Labor Day weekend to this cute couple! Michigan gave us an absolutely beautiful last day of August and we took advantage of it. Lizzy and Brandon are engaged and are planning a July 2024 wedding. These two were just the sweetest, most smiley couple. I loved creating these looks with them and getting to know them a bit. They picked the perfect outfits and were magic in front of the camera. Enjoy their sneak peek!
