Welcome

My name is Sabreena. I am an on-location, natural light photographer. My passion is capturing the natural interactions of families and turning them into lasting memories and pieces of art. Photographs have a way of bringing us back to a time or place that can be easily forgotten.

As the owner of Photography by Sabreena, I want to provide you with the ultimate Custom Photography experience. This means that I travel to you and take the photographs in a location where you and your family are most comfortable - thus resulting in natural, relaxed, and fun family portraits. I specialize in maternity, newborn, children, family, high school senior, and engagement portraits.

Below you will find samples of recent sessions, fun facts about myself and my family, and an assortment of other random fun "stuff". I really enjoy receiving comments, so please let me know you are out there!

Enjoy, and please don't hesitate to contact me. EMAIL: pbsabreena(at)comcast.net

Almost Booked Until November 1st! - Howell, Michigan - Photographer

You read that right. I currently only have 3 dates open between now and November 1st.

Sept 6th - Morning Session Only
Sept 28th - Evening Session Only
Oct 5th - Anytime
I am making some special accommodations to fit seniors and maternity/newborn sessions in and have some limited availability for some evening sessions during the week. Just drop me an email or give me a call and we can talk about what is still available.

I will also be on vacation up to Houghton Lake - YEAH - from August 30th - September 2nd. Unless you are willing to travel up to the lake I won’t be scheduling any photo shoots during that weekend. I will probably have NO internet connection, unless I can find a local coffee shop with WIFI.

So here are a few photos from a session I have previewed before. I just love these for some reason. Ms. Gina holds a special place in my heart not only because she watches my girls from time to time, but she is also a single mom……and as the daughter of a single mom I know the extra special bond that is formed there.

This one reminds me that my mom is always right there whispering in my ear, even when she is far away:

This is the look Ms. Gina got when she said that her daughter will not be dating until she is 20:

So PROUD!

I am so very proud of my husband. In the last year I have watch him grow in so many ways. He has grown spiritually, he has grown as a father (with the birth of our second daughter - which as also resulted in more gray hairs - but Shhhhhhh ;) ), and he has grown as a husband - supporting me in all of my dreams and ambitions. He has also grown (or shrank depending on how you look at it) by becoming more physically healthy and has lost 60 lbs in the process.

I could not be luckier to be married to such a handsome, sweet, smart, and wonderful man!

I Love You Steve and I am SO proud of you!

(He even lets me practice my photography on him!)

Fun Family Portraits…. ; Howell, Michigan - Photographer

I am so blessed to meet such wonderful families. This brother and sister seriously reminded me of my little brother and myself when we were that age. I have to try and drag out an old photo of the two of us so I can show you all sometime.

Anyway, I was introduced to this wonderful new location called The Healing Gardens by the Radiology Building on the campus of Michigan State University. I had heard about this garden, but had never had the opportunity to go there. WOW! Had I known how beautiful, I would have certainly been there sooner!

Waterfalls, Flowers, Fish, and even a couple frogs!

This one is going to become a treasure…..especially on those days when they just don’t seem to get along (although I doubt these two ever argue ;) )

These are fun family portraits! Thanks Mom for the hand idea, some of the greatest ideas for portraits come from my families…

Growing up so fast! ; Howell, Michigan - Photographer

I have been photographing this sweet girl and her family since she was in her mommy’s tummy. She is actually one of my first ever “Watch Me Grow” graduates.

I know you have been seeing alot of posed photographs from me lately, which I love; but what I love even more are the type of photographs below. This style of photography has been coined as “Lifestyle Photography”. These photos so often have some kind of imperfection, but there is another wonderful photographer that I have looked up to for a long time (Tara Whitney) who says, “Perfectly Imperfect” and I think that is exactly what I love about these!

Okay, this last one I just love so much. There is an old song by Frank Sinatra called “Me and My Shadow”. I don’t remember how the words go, but that just keeps popping into my head when I look at this.

Senior Guy; Howell, MI - Photographer

So Ryan tells me that he is not photogenic and does NOT like having his picture taken. I am really hoping I can change his mind on at least 1 of the 2, because he is DEFINITELY photogenic!

Beautiful Ballet Silhouette; Howell, Michigan - Photographer

This young lady is the most amazing person! She is so well rounded. My husband actually commented that she must have some pretty amazing parents to raise such a great girl. She loves to dance, read, dance, listen to The Beatles, and…..oh yeah….DANCE.

She actually taught my daughter’s first ballet class and I approached her with the idea of doing an “Urban Ballerina” photo shoot. I had soooo many ideas just bursting out of my head, but not near enough time to try them all, but I am SO excited with the ones that we got.

I promised Cara that I would post a preview today. I only have time to put a couple up tonight, so I will put some other ones up tomorrow. I couldn’t resist putting up my favorites though…

A Senior & His Truck; Howell, Michigan - Photographer

You may remember this young man from when I did some snow boarding photos of him this past winter…

I almost didn’t recognize him when he showed up on Friday without his snow gear on. Justin is so easy going, which makes the portrait process so easy. I hope you like these as much as the snowboarding ones!

Finally, this is the typical reaction I get when I ask for a “Serious Look”…
