We recently shot a 360-degree panoramic Google tour for The Learning Tree – South located in Livonia, Michigan. The Learning Tree is a child care facility dedicated to providing quality child care programs for children from six weeks to thirteen years of age. The tour showcases the classrooms and outdoor play area at the learning center. A Google Streetview Trusted tour is a great way to showoff daycare, after school care, and classroom spaces to potential families considering your facility. Call us today to schedule a shoot of your facility!
Every first Thursday of the month Compass hosts a luncheon for Christians who work in the business industry to come together in Southeast Michigan. It’s a wonderful networking event that offers a place for people to connect and listen to powerful speakers. In the past, Chuck Gaidica spoke at a luncheon.
The last luncheon took place on Thursday, September 6th, and we were there to capture some shots from the event. Phil Bahr, president of the Ashes to Glory Foundation, was introduced as speaker by his son, Scott Bahr. Ashes to Glory is a non-profit organization that gives financial assistance to those who are seeking help for their addiction and would like to try professional Christian therapy. Phil and his wife, Dawn, founded the Ashes to Glory Foundation after rescuing their son from addiction. From this journey, they thought of the idea for Ashes to Glory and have been helping those who struggle with addiction to become clean again.
The scholarships given from Ashes to Glory assist individuals and families in therapy, residential stay for a minimum of 90 days, extended care programs for after release, and individual and family counseling to help rebuild homes that have been broken by addiction.
Next month’s Compass luncheon will be on Thursday, October 4th. We invite you to join us!

Sharer Design Group focuses on transforming kitchens and bathrooms into spaces their clients will love. They remodeled a kitchen in a Livonia home and we were happy to capture the finished product! Let’s check it out.
From this angle, you can see the many details of the kitchen: stainless steel fridge, wood floors, dark counter top contrasting with white cabinetry, and white tile back splash.
Here’s a look at the other side of the kitchen. The stove fits with the stainless steel theme.
The double shelves are a nice touch to the remodeled kitchen.
From this angle, you can see the entire kitchen.
Because this is a smaller kitchen, they now have this large floor-to-ceiling cabinet for extra kitchen storage!
We attended the Livonia Chambers Connecting Cultures event in Livonia. It was a beautiful celebration of the many cultures that create us and bring business together. We captured the event from beginning to end and we’re excited to share some of our favorites with you! While at the event, there were speakers from five different generations offering their opinions, perspectives, and thoughts on the same issue. It was interesting to hear the varying answers in comparison to when the person had been born and the times they had lived through. It was a wonderful networking event that discussed the combination of businesses and cultures in this day and age.

Welcome to the virtual tour of Granite City in Livonia, Michigan! They took advantage of this and had a Google Business View Tour taken so when people searched them online, this would be an option to view. Check out the tour below!
So, first, I have some exciting news! Today I hired an assistant! The lovely and talented Ms. Julianne Schultz. I’m looking forward to teaching her and having her help. I think it will mean great things for Starloft Photo & Video in 2015! More about her will come very soon!
Today we did portraits with Santa and on-site printing of 4×6 prints for the Domus Vita holiday party. Domus Vita provides services for developmentally disabled adults. Because of the nature of their business and privacy concerns, we aren’t able to share the portraits here on our blog, but I just wanted to share how much fun the event was! The party was held at the Italian American Banquet Center in Livonia, Michigan. There was a meal and a pretty rocking DJ. It seemed everyone had a great time, and they were able to take a printed portrait home with them as they left. Fun times.
Working with the developmentally disabled was a bit challenging at times as I was taking the photos, but it really got me thinking about how these people need so much care in the day-to-day that I think sometimes we forget how miraculous their lives are. I heard story after story as I was shooting about how “the doctors said so-and-so wouldn’t live past age 10” or “she’s been a patient of ours for 19 years.” It made me remember just how amazing all of our lives are and to not take our abilities for granted. Could you imagine not being able to walk or being able to hear? I can’t even begin to imagine. Be thankful today for what God has enabled you to do.
