Senior Portraits · Ann Arbor
Senior pictures and graduation photos shot where your story lives. A personal session built around you — real locations across Ann Arbor and Southeast Michigan, creative lighting, no time limits, no packages. Portraits of the authentic you.
That's the full range — your session plus digital images. Most people take everything: buying five digital images gets you the whole gallery, every frame from the shoot, at the top of the range. And if all you need is one image, buy one — that's the low end. Unlimited time, multiple locations, no packages; how many digitals you keep sets where you land. I'll quote the exact figure before anything is booked.
Questions worth asking any photographer you're considering. Including me.
Tell me who you are and I'll get back to you within 24 hours. First name and one way to reach you is all I need to start.
Sessions run until the work is done — not until the clock runs out. Multiple locations and wardrobe changes are the norm, not an upgrade. It's your time too: you set the timing and how long we go, and what you put in is what you get out.
Off-camera flash, shaped natural light, and professional technique create portraits with real depth and dimension — not flat on-camera snapshots. Phones are remarkably good now. What a phone can't do is put light where there wasn't any.
No catalog poses, no white backdrops. We photograph where your story actually lives — campus, athletic facilities, outdoor locations, anywhere it means something to you.
This is a milestone worth doing right. The sitting fee covers unlimited time and locations with no package pressure. Most people take everything — buying five digital images gets you the whole gallery, every frame from the session. And if all you need is one image for the yearbook or a LinkedIn profile, buy one. The choice is about what you need, not a package you have to fit into. Parents: you get full-resolution files for announcements, frames, and gifts. Seniors: you pick where. A bowling alley, a river, a weight room, a garden full of flowers — the session is built around what your life actually looks like, not a backdrop everyone gets.
You planned the session, you're making the call. These portraits work for LinkedIn headshots, professional portfolios, family keepsakes, or simply marking the moment before the next chapter starts. Extended time means we can get the dramatic campus shot and the relaxed casual portrait in the same session.

Great senior portraits and graduation photos aren't directed — they're built. We start with a conversation about your story, your locations, and what you want these images to say. Then we go shoot it. The result is portraits of the authentic you, not a performance of yourself in front of someone else's backdrop.
Before we shoot, we talk through your ideas — the places that mean something to you, your style, the version of yourself you want captured. No brief to fill out, just a conversation. If you're still figuring it out, that's what the conversation is for.
Creative lighting, composition, and knowing how to read a genuine moment. My job is to create the conditions where the real you comes through — off-camera flash, real locations, no time limit pressing us forward. Your story, expertly captured.
Most people are. The no-time-limit format is intentional — there's room to ease in, feel a little awkward, and find your footing. High school senior or college grad, the process is the same: we move at your pace until the pictures are right.
Your name and one way to reach you, email or phone — whichever you prefer. I get back to you within 24 hours.
A short conversation for me to get to know you, talk about locations, and compare dates on our calendars.
Dates and times, 24/7 — literally. If the only window you have is 11pm on a Tuesday, that's when we shoot. Most plan between 2–4 hours and 2–3 locations. We go until the work is done, not until a clock runs out — which is what makes multiple locations and wardrobe changes normal rather than an upgrade.
Your edited images arrive at full resolution in a private, secure online gallery — in days, not weeks, often within 48 hours. Purchases and downloads available immediately. Prints optional, in museum-quality metal, acrylic, canvas and fine art paper.
