Melissa’s senior session just makes us smile because she is such a sweetie, and when you have a senior who is just nice and fun to be around it’s particularly satisfying when the photos turn out so well!  We also grabbed a spot that we hadn’t thought about before – just a brick archway that we pass by all the time but on this day the red leaves of the tree next to it caught Ally’s eye – I think photographing Melissa just had Ally inspired.  Ha!  We’ll get to that in a bit…

Meanwhile we started out in the studio with the brown background which is an underrated studio color for seniors.  It works particularly well with Melissa’s skin tone – just a beautiful photo wouldn’t you say?

She is so darn cute.  Her mom also came along for the shoot and she was great – we enjoyed our time together with both of them!  We headed out on location and started with a different view of our recently discovered meadow that we love.

Just loving the sea of fall colors in that shot….  Michigan in the fall is so incredible!

Now here is our fun behind the scenes vine of the day…

Love this brick archway, love Melissa and loved her senior session!!! https://t.co/w68xdnnn6B

…which leads us to the brick archway I mentioned before.  Sometimes you just have to open your eyes to see your world around you in a different way…

Last but not least we relocated to a spot where this wrought iron fence has been good to us lately for this closely cropped photo of our beautiful senior.  It’s hard not to gush about this girl!

So now you see why indeed Melissa’s senior session just makes us smile.  We hope it made you smile too!
