Summer and fall are two of the best times of year for senior photos in Michigan. Summer offers warm weather, vibrant greenery, and beautiful golden light, while fall brings cooler temperatures and colorful leaves. Both seasons create the perfect setting to celebrate this exciting milestone.

At John Richmond Photography, my goal is to create senior portraits that reflect who your son or daughter truly is.

I have been photographing seniors for over 20 years, and one thing I have learned is that every senior is different. Some seniors are excited about their session and already have ideas for locations, outfits, and poses. Others may not enjoy being in front of the camera—or may not really want senior photos at all.

That is completely okay.

I know how to work with seniors who feel nervous, uncomfortable, or simply are not interested in a long photo session. We can keep things relaxed, move quickly, and gear the entire experience around their personality and comfort level. There is no pressure to act like a model or pose in a way that does not feel natural. My job is to make the session easy, comfortable, and enjoyable while still creating images your family will love.

Your senior can choose a favorite location that is meaningful to them, whether that is a downtown area, a park, a sports field, or another special place. Not sure where to go? I can also recommend several great locations based on the style and look you would like for the photos.

John Richmond Photography offers two different ways to purchase your senior portraits. Families can choose an all-digital option that includes the finished digital images, or select from several different packages featuring a variety of products and options.

Senior year goes by quickly, and senior portraits are a wonderful way to capture your son or daughter at this important moment in their life. Whether they love the camera or would rather keep the session simple, I will create an experience that meets their needs and photographs that your family will treasure for years to come.

Summer and fall senior sessions fill quickly, so now is a great time to reserve your date with John Richmond Photography.
