Capture Your Story with an Award-Winning Senior Photographer Experience
When it comes to researching senior pictures, selecting a senior photographer can be intimidating. But, it can make all the difference. These photos aren’t just for the yearbook—they’re a celebration of who you are at this pivotal moment in your life. At Paul Manoian Photography, I specialize in creating senior portraits that reflect your individuality, style, and personality. Unlike large studios with a rotating roster of photographers, I personally handle every session to ensure you receive a tailored experience that brings your vision to life.

Why Choosing One of the Best Senior Photographers Matters
Your senior year is a milestone filled with memories, achievements, and dreams for the future. Senior pictures capture this unique chapter, preserving it in a way that reflects who you are. But not all senior photographers are the same. The difference between a standard photo and an unforgettable portrait lies in the photographer’s ability to connect with you, understand your personality, and bring out your best in front of the camera.
As an award-winning senior photographer serving Metro Detroit, Ann Arbor, and southeast Michigan, I take the time to get to know each of my clients. I believe your senior portraits should be as unique as you are, which is why I approach every session with creativity, professionalism, and a focus on capturing your authentic self.

Personalized Senior Photography Sessions
One of the key advantages of working with an independent senior photographer like myself is the personalized experience. I don’t believe in cookie-cutter sessions. Instead, I collaborate with you to design a photoshoot that reflects your interests, style, and personality. Whether you want an urban backdrop in downtown Detroit, a natural outdoor setting, or a location that holds special meaning to you, I make it happen.
Here’s what sets my senior photography sessions apart:
- Unlimited Outfit Changes: Bring as many outfits as you’d like—this is your time to shine.
- Flexible Locations: Choose from countless scenic and urban locations throughout Metro Detroit, Ann Arbor, and beyond.
- Tailored Poses and Styles: Whether you prefer a classic, sophisticated look or something edgy and modern, I’ll guide you through the session to highlight your best features.

What to Expect During Your Senior Photo Session
From the moment you book your session, I’m here to ensure a stress-free, enjoyable experience. We start with a pre-session consultation where we discuss your style, preferred locations, and the overall vibe you want to achieve. I provide guidance on what to wear, how to prepare, and what to expect during the shoot, so you feel confident and comfortable when it’s time to step in front of the camera.
On the day of your session, here’s what you can expect:
- Relaxed Atmosphere: I create a laid-back environment where you can be yourself. No stiff, awkward poses—just natural, genuine expressions.
- Creative Direction: Don’t worry if you’re not sure how to pose. I’ll guide you through flattering angles and poses that bring out your confidence and personality.
- Capturing the Details: From close-up headshots to full-body portraits, I focus on capturing the little details that make your photos unique.
- Plenty of Variety: With multiple locations and outfit changes, you’ll have a diverse collection of images to choose from.
Showcasing Your Passions and Interests
Your senior pictures should tell the story of who you are, and that includes highlighting your hobbies, passions, and achievements. Whether you’re a musician, athlete, artist, or fashion enthusiast, I encourage you to incorporate elements of your personality into your session. Bring your guitar, sports uniform, sketchbook, or favorite accessories—anything that helps showcase what makes you unique.
For athletes, I capture action shots that convey your strength and determination. For musicians, I create portraits that capture the emotion and passion you bring to your craft. And for fashion lovers, I highlight your personal style with editorial-inspired shots that belong on the pages of a magazine.
