Senior Pictures on the Lakeshore- Grand Haven Style!
Senior pictures are one of my favorite types of sessions—especially when we get to shoot along the beautiful Lakeshore in West Michigan. There are so many gorgeous locations, but one of my absolute favorites is downtown Grand Haven. Within just a small walking area, we can find textured brick, colorful backdrops, natural greenery, and modern industrial elements—giving your gallery tons of variety without having to travel far.
For this featured session, we spent two hours exploring the area and captured over 500 images for this senior to choose from. Two-hour sessions are perfect if you want to make the most of your shoot—I always recommend bringing multiple outfit changes so we can showcase different sides of your style and personality. Think casual, dressy, sporty, or even something unique that reflects a hobby or interest.
Pro Tips for Senior Pictures:
• Accessorize! Jewelry, jackets, hats, and shoes can totally change the look of an outfit and add a personal touch.
• Keep it true to you. Choose outfits you feel confident in, but don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone just a little.
• Practice your smile—but don’t stress. I’ll help guide you with poses and prompts so everything feels natural and fun.
• Stay hydrated and bring touch-up essentials like a brush, powder, or lip gloss.
• Bring a friend or parent—sometimes a familiar face helps you feel more relaxed, and they can carry your things while we walk and shoot.
With years of experience photographing high school seniors, I know how to help you feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourself. Whether you’re a little shy or love to shine in front of the camera, I’ll help you look your best and have fun doing it.
Senior year is a milestone, and your senior photos should be just as special. If you’re planning your senior pictures soon, let’s chat about the best time of year, outfit tips, and how we can make your session one to remember!
