Being a Metro Detroit Portrait Photographer, the cooler weather was the perfect excuse to hunker down in our Birmingham MI studio and photograph some of my handsome male friends who were still sporting Movember Beards.  It also gave us the opportunity to support an incredible local children's charity The Bottomless Toy Chest.  

So...in exchange for getting their scruffy mugs photographed, each subject provided a new, unwrapped toy to be donated.  If you're unfamiliar with this amazing organization, The Bottomless Toy Chest makes routine deliveries to pediatric cancer patients at hospitals in Michigan - 52 weeks a year!  

I hope you'll enjoy these images and, if you're so inclined, please feel free to send some extra love to The Bottomless Toy Chest this holiday season so that they can bring a little sunshine into the lives of children!
