CAPTURING EMOTION IN FLEETING MOMENTS

LEAVING ROOM FOR REAL

GIVE BACK, NO MATTER WHAT

A BUSINESS BUILT ON GIVING BACK

Philantography is an organization created by Amanda Freeman, owner of Mixie Design Co., as a way to consistently support deserving organizations. Since 2017, Philantography give back mini sessions have raised tens of thousands of dollars for nonprofits and community groups local to Southeast Michigan. If you are interested in joining forces, sponsoring a family in need, or would like to connect, please contact me. There is always room for more love.

Senior Sessions

There is nothing better than seeing your kid succeed, and graduation is a HUGE accomplishment. Help them celebrate with gorgeous, natural, laid-back photos to commemorate the occasion. Yearbook photos are included when possible. I do sessions all around Southeast Michigan, with a home base of Milford. Most schools have a deadline of October, so don’t miss out!

Multiple dates are available. Contact me for details.

Photography Session Options

  • Close-up of a person's hand on a black electric bass guitar adorned with stickers.

    Private Sessions

    Full private photo sessions are available for any type of occasion. Generation photos, big family portraits, parties + events, and more! Many people who book these sessions love the extended time, image count, and freedom.

    These sessions are highly recommended for big families, senior and graduation photos, grandparents, and monumental occasions.

    Right now, we have some featured sessions that you don’t want to miss!

    Mini Sessions

    Mini sessions are the reason Philantography began! Way back in 2017, I set up my first mini-sessions to help raise money for an organization near and dear to my heart. These sessions are perfect for anyone who wants quick, but meaningful, pictures, and are open to individuals, families, couples, and anyone willing to step in front of the lens.

    In the Philantography minis, we will get the standard portraits out of the way, then I am just a fly on the wall, ready to capture the real emotion and movements of our time together.

    Dates set in advance and proceeds benefit predetermined charity and nonprofit organizations. To view our full calendar, please visit the link below.

    Small Business Sessions

    Small businesses can’t afford NOT to have quality photos. I will come to your location, take photos of your team, location, products, b-roll, or whatever else you might need. Prior to our session, we will develop a plan to make sure all bases are covered.

    Whether you need an updated headshot for work, your resume, LinkedIn or even other social media content, these sessions will provide you with everything you could ask for and more. Each session is designed with your industry and business in mind. Includes online gallery, b-roll images, free downloads and other great perks.
