We have really enjoyed our new growing High school senior business. Julie has been the main photographer as she has studied extensively with some of  coolest and most popular Senior Photographers nationwide.  This influence is showing in her awesome images that everyone loves.

This year we are building our portfolio and client base – so it’s a great time to get some great specials and deals.

We love our on Destination Sessions and specialize in the popular  “Detroit Urban Destination Trip”.  Also  popular are the “Nature Destination trips” and the “Personalized Detination trips”.  No limit on how many outfit changes, unlimited poses, and no limit on locations within the times allocated. The On Site  garage Studio will soon be completed – we are excited about added this feature also.

Plus YOU are never locked into set packages – you choose what fits YOU and YOUR family – you choose the sessions that appeal to you, and then choose from units of small prints, wall portraits, personalized press printed albums and many other unique personalized products!

This is YOUR session – Experience the difference!

If YOU or anyone YOU know is graduating in 2011 – please have them call us and lets work together!

We finally figured out a big part of the puzzle to get the blog portion of this site working better.

Thank you so much to Chris Hebert who has been working tirelessly to help me make the blog portion of this website/blog work better. There is no real support for Wordpress – that is the hard part.  All my old posts (going back to 06)  are supposed to show up under the galleries – if the name of the category checked and the gallery name is exactly the same – well I was skeptical and worried about this – and knew it had to be easier said than done!  I was right – it was far from easy!  After a lot of research, detective work, coding repair and manually entering things to make the  move easier, she has succeeded to make it work .

Thanks bunches Chris -

Hope you ENJOY, let us know how you like it, we value any input.

I have not ben as active on the blog as I used to be. The Facebook Fan Page is truthfully more up to date right now – so check it out.  Will be catching up on some of the recent things we have been up to

Thank you

Wally

Wally Spice Photography,  Wally and Julie volunteered  our time photographing the festivities and the  for

For the 3rd year in a row we volunteered our time to photograph for the Sunset at the Zoo Fundraiser June 18th.  It was a lot of fun and lots of great benefactors and people helping to raise money for our beloved zoo.  We also donated a session to the Silent auction – which brought in just under $500; the grand live auction raised $113,650!  Just like last year – we ended the evening with a thunderstorm warning and had to exit pretty abruptly. There was a tornado warning – and a little rain, but we didn’t get soaked like last year.

Welcome to our new website/blog – we are so excited and proud to finally have it live and active. This is a hybrid between a regular website, adding some flash in the galleries and headers and the Wordpress blog I have had since 2006.

Nothing is ever as easy as it seems, and the “merge” was certainly a challenge. A big THANK YOU goes to Chris Hebert, for all her help in actually making it work! A thank you also to Brian and Dawn for all their help in molding the various versions of our websites and blogs over the many years!

Now we will still be tweaking and adding to this site to continue to improve on it and make it grow.  We will also be populating some of the galleries that are not yet complete and hope to soon add another larger section for our growing endeavor in High School Senior photography!

So stay tuned as we continue to grow, but this is a huge step in rebuilding and growing Wally Spice Photography!

Be sure to take a look at our face book fan page, by clicking on the F symbol for some of our interim activity. We will be updating this also.

ENJOY!! and please feel free to give us your input!!

Thank You
Wally and Julie

My daughter Julie Proudfoot and our friend Dawn Havrelock  attended the SYNC convention for Senior Photography in Florida.
Afterwards they were fortunate enough to  photograph Sarah and Chris in Ybor City for some romantic fun engagement images – in and around the city of Ybor.

What an opportunity – they did a great job and had a lot of fun.

I just got back from PPA – Professional Photographers of America convention in Nashville and really enjoyed it, Julie is excited to go to SYNC – for high school senior photography in Florida real soon and will also be at WPPI – (Wedding Portrait Photographers International) in Vegas in March. We are both active in DPPA (Detroit) – I’m a Past President and Julie is in line to be. We’ll be at PPM (Michigan) in Troy in Feb ….

It is so important to stay current & keep up with all the latest cutting edge changes in our industry – It does make a difference and sets us apart. In this day, experience and willingness to push ourselves to be current should count more. This is all we do for a living. It is a labor of passion and we love it!

This is a time for looking ahead to what this new year can have in store for us. We are looking forward to continuing our contemporary weddings – this has always been our main passion and nitche for almost 20 years. We would also love to venture more actively into the contemporary high school senior portrait market -… if you know of any juniors or seniors who would love to be among our “Models” – give us a call.

This is the video for the wedding of Erin and Brock, taken September 19,09. Julie was the main photographer. They met at the house beforehand and enjoyed some fun “Urban” romantics at Hart Plaza, Belle Isle and the back of the Ren Cen.
The ceremony and reception were at Tina’s Country House.

Erin had babysat Julie’s boys when they were younger (she used to live across the street from her). She was able to meet and spend time with Brock when they had her out to Washington DC to photograph some engagement photos. They are truly one of the most “in love” couples I know. It was a joy to photograph their wedding!!!

Hope you are enjoying the preparations for the Holidays coming up.

It is not too late to order reprints or even Holiday cards from the images you already have from your wedding or portrait session.  I just a added a new tab to this blog on Specials, Products and pricing
take a look at the post on specials for reprints and Holiday cards.

Our web site home page also has a slightly different look, all the new hot links are now active – although we need to work on the spacing for the new 2009 Holiday specials and pricing page.

Our wedding last weekend for Jessica and Billi was so fantastic. The ceremony was at the Hope Chapel in Shelby Township – the historic train and beautiful Heritage gardens close by were perfect for our romantics – even as the sun was going down. The evening was topped by a great reception at the Vintage house where everyone had a terrific time.

They are featured on our Facebook Fan page also

About this time 2 years ago we did a most fantastic wedding for Annie (Rancillio) and Mark Loughead. We photographed her sister Rachel’s wedding earlier too. Annie has been super supportive and recommended us to Jessica and Jim who we just photographed last weekend. It was great to see Annie there. they had one of our Animoto fast paced slideshows too but we weren’t into FB yet. So I got out their video, and re-mixed it with out Favorite “Happy” song. Their ceremony was at St Mathew’s church in Detroit, we had awesome romantics on Belle Isle and ended the eve with a great reception at Andiamos. Happy Anniversary! (Just a little late)

Julie is a very lucky and happy girl this week. One of her friends,  and his fiance  are getting married on an all inclusive resort in the Montego Bay area of Jamaica on Friday November 6th and flew her down there to photograph the wedding. What an awesome opportunity. I have weddings this weekend so couldn’t go but she is thrilled to be there. 2 of her friends, Jill and Dawn also joined her to help! They are having the time of their lives!!!
They flew in the Monday before and are scouting out all the great locations – On Tuesday the couple did some para sailing and Julie got to go on the boat to photograph them! – They are being know as their personal photographers for the week!

This is a link to the album that Julie posted on her personal site for the wedding she photographed for Erin and Brock Sept 19th. Erin & her family are neighbors to Julie and Erin used to babysit the boys – now Aaron came along to assist as a third photographer. They flew Julie and her youngest son Steven to Washington DC for an engagement session. I will also try to make an Animoto show, I do not have all the images but can use these.

The wedding of Kathleen and Dennis on 10-09-09 at the Roostertail in Detroit. The Girls got ready at the Greektown Casino Hotel. They had their first special meeting on the stairs of the Roostertail and proceeded to a great Urban Shoot – even in the rain we had a great time. The inside ceremony and reception at the Roostertail, on the Detroit River was very elegant and beautiful. Everyone had a great time.
