A Senior Session in Leelanau County - what it’s all about
Senior sessions are quickly becoming favorites of mine. Maybe because my own children are approaching this age. Maybe because there is a lot out there to read and consume about the baby stage but not so much about when they grow up. Whatever it may be, I feel passionate about working with seniors and their families to create meaningful photographs that show how amazingly beautiful your senior is.
With the end goal in mind of displaying your senior’s portrait to enjoy daily, we work together to plan the perfect session that will best represent your senior. How will your senior’s story best be shared? Which heirloom products would you like to hand down to your senior when they have a home of their own?
Matted and Framed Wall Art - a classic approach to displaying beautiful artwork that may include a family portrait as well
Fine Art Album - a fun way to view all angles of your senior from the comfort of your favorite spot on the couch
Collection Box of Matted Prints - perfect for displaying multiple photographs or sharing with family
Helping your senior feel comfortable is important. We plan together to incorporate any passions your senior has and if they prefer simply themselves and a gorgeous spot - that’s perfect too!
Here in Leelanau County we have no shortage of beautiful spaces to photograph seniors. Whether it’s the quaint village streets of Suttons Bay or Leland, forested paths off the TART Trail, or the beaches of Lake Michigan, it’s easy to find the perfect backdrop to showcase your senior.
You can take a look at some more local locations here.
When considering when to schedule you’re seniors photos, here in Northern Michigan I suggest summertime! We can always incorporate fall, winter or spring passions at a later time, but summer schedules seem easiest to work around before the busyness of senior year begins.
At the consultation appointment we will plan out the exact date and locations that your senior prefers. I’ll share some tips to help your teen feel relaxed and comfortable during their session, and we will go over wardrobe questions and tips. The consultation appointment gets us all excited for what is to come.
At the end of the day, the time we spend together allows you to savor these last moths with your teen before they step out into adulthood. You’ve raised him from a teeny tiny baby to a responsible human being and that is a huge accomplishment. It’s something you can all be proud of and definitely a milestone worthy of being captured to look back on for years to come.
