Ethan showed up ready for an early start, and it paid off. His senior pictures session began during the morning blue hour in Ann Arbor and rolled right into a soft golden hour that gave every location a clean, polished look. If you are a parent considering a Greenhills senior pictures session to capture your student’s final year, this session is a great example of what is possible when we take advantage of the light that only happens at the start of the day.

Ethan knew he wanted Ann Arbor for his session, and the city worked beautifully with his style. His sharp suit and clean white hoodie gave us two very different looks, which helped us capture the academic feel of campus along with something more relaxed. Parents often ask how important wardrobe is for senior portraits. Sessions like this show how much variety you can get when outfits are chosen with locations in mind.

We spent most of our time around the University of Michigan campus, starting with the darker, moodier blue hour glow. That cool color set the stage for his more formal outfit and gave those first images a classic, confident tone. As the sun came up, the warmer light helped soften the look of the session and brought out the fall color that was still hanging on across central campus. Even late in the season, Ann Arbor is a great choice for seniors who want a hint of fall without a full leaf season backdrop.

Ethan also wanted to highlight baseball as part of his senior year, so we finished the session at the field. This gave his gallery a personal touch that families always appreciate. When seniors include a sport or hobby, it helps create a set of images that feel true to them without overwhelming the session. Parents often worry about balance, but a single location tied to a favorite activity can fit easily into any session.

If you are planning Greenhills Senior Pictures for the coming year, I always recommend choosing at least one location that means something special to your senior. Ann Arbor offers endless possibilities and blends academic, historic, and natural settings in a way that works for almost any personality.
