With so many incredible downtown Detroit senior pictures session locations available, there isn’t any reason to settle for an indoor studio session with your school’s contracted yearbook provider ! Each year more seniors are telling their school’s yearbook chain photography “studio” to take a hike in favor of outdoor lifestyle senior portraits.

My recent senior pictures session with William was no exception. A senior at Dakota High School in Macomb, MI, William knew he wanted a downtown Detroit senior pictures session. As a Detroit senior pictures photographer, I’ve braved every kind of weather, from sizzling heat to bone-chilling cold. Despite having to reschedule due to frigid temperatures, the wait was definitely worth it and William’s proofs look fantastic!

Paul was fantastic to work with and was patient with rescheduling due to bad weather. He was helpful in figuring out the best spots and outfits beforehand and gave us the opportunity to let him know our wants and expectations! He was professional and accommodating and I would highly recommend him! I was pleasantly surprised the next day after our session we got a sneak peek!
