Lilyana’s senior pictures were nothing short of a modern urban adventure. Although she’s a proud senior at Trenton High School in Trenton, MI, Lilyana had a vision that took us far from the quiet streets of her hometown. She wanted an edgy, urban vibe that only the city of Detroit could provide, and I was all in to make her vision come to life.

We started at the iconic Belle Isle fountain. The marble architecture contrasted beautifully with the vibrant energy that Lilyana brought to the session. The fountain’s elegance gave a striking balance to the boldness of her wardrobe and the city’s pulse. Whether she was standing tall with the fountain in the background or playing with reflections in the water, every shot had an undeniable blend of grace and grit. The backdrop added a timeless quality to her portraits, capturing both the city’s historic charm and Lilyana’s unique style.

Next, we headed to the legendary St. Andrew’s Hall, a Detroit staple for music lovers and those seeking that raw, downtown aesthetic. The weathered building provided a textured background that made Lilyana’s senior pictures feel like they were straight out of a fashion editorial. The atmosphere here was electric, and it translated perfectly into her photos. As she posed confidently against the brick walls, it was clear that we were capturing more than just pictures—we were telling the story of her senior year in a way that felt true to her personality.

From there, we hit the streets and rooftops, diving into the city’s urban playground. The streets offered that gritty, metropolitan vibe Lilyana was after. She embraced the energy of the city, weaving through alleyways and busy intersections, owning the space like it was made for her. On the rooftop, we had the Detroit skyline as our backdrop, and it was pure magic. The combination of the setting sun and the towering buildings created a perfect canvas for dynamic, bold shots that highlighted both Lilyana and the city she chose as her backdrop.

We ended the session at the recently renovated Michigan Central Station. The mix of old and new was powerful—just like Lilyana’s senior year, full of both nostalgia and excitement for what’s next. The architecture of Michigan Central Station brought an epic close to her session, with its grand columns and historic feel. Whether we were shooting wide to capture the full scale of the station or focusing on more intimate close-ups, every moment felt iconic.

Lilyana’s Trenton senior pictures were nothing short of extraordinary. From Belle Isle to the streets of Detroit, every location added a layer of story and personality to her portraits. Senior pictures should be a reflection of who you are right now—your energy, your style, your vibe—and Detroit was the perfect match for Lilyana’s vision.
