We’ve been making the rounds to the college campuses around the state for grad pictures and this time we bring you highlights from a couple of Wolverines in Ann Arbor! These two M grads were both delightful and we enjoyed our time with each! Let’s start with Dave!
Dave is a sweetheart of a dude. We really enjoyed our time with him and he was a trooper because it was not warm…. but he’s going to be a teacher and he’s the perfect guy for it. You would love to have this guy teaching your kid. We hit the law quad first for this fantastic pic:
Next stop we went by Dave’s fraternity house for this one in front before we parted ways!
Love it!
Alexandra is an incredible artist. Like really incredible – and her work was on display at the Stamps School of Art and Design – what a delight she is! Take a look at this photo of her in front of this amazing piece!
We were treated to Alexandra taking us through her art in a livestream and you HAVE to check out her website at www.alexandracollinsart.com!

We had such a blast with these two besties in East Lansing – both grads of the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State! Jen and Alaina are both delights – smart, beautiful, nice, fun – a power duo for sure! We bounced around campus on a PERFECT day to get some pics so let’s get to a couple highlights!
Let’s start on the bridge by the stadium…
And we have some fun behind the scenes first from Instagram:

Now for a couple solo portraits! First Jen:
Alaina’s turn!
And of course we had to get the bubbly for the grand finale – here’s the fun from Facebook:
And the result!
LOVE IT!!!
We love these two and we can’t wait to see them go forth and accomplish big things! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Jen and Alaina!
We’re really making the rounds this year to college campuses around the state for graduation photos and having an absolute blast doing it! We love this time of year and this was our first trip to Grand Valley specifically for grad pics! We have highlights from a couple sessions – a pair of besties as well as another individual!
As for the girls it was unseasonably cold for their session but you wouldn’t know it from their photos – they were total troopers. Kirah we met last year when we photographed her sis Kailee at MSU and this time it was her turn with her pal Amalia! Let’s take a look at a couple:
Ha – beneath the Blue Bridge these two are peas in a pod…
We like this one at the main campus entrance:
And then from there it was back to the Blue Bridge and this is a great one to finish on for now!
Ah yes, Spring is in the air and so is college graduation! This has become such a fun time of year for us and if this first crew of the 2024 college grad season in East Lansing is any indication it’s going to be a fantastic one!!! We also lucked out with the weather – it was a beautiful sunny morning on campus!
Let’s get to some highlights – how adorable is this group?
There are plenty of spots around campus to use – some of them iconic and some of them spur of the moment! The Sparty statue is obviously pretty iconic…
Here’s a little behind the scenes from the bridge by the stadium…
Next is one of those spur of the moment pics – when you see a prime spot for this fantastic five to sit and the sun is hitting just right? Spectacular!!!
Now it was time to change into casual clothes and have some fun…
This crew of besties loves each other!
And then….. there’s this. LOL.

And one of the results – we’ll leave you with this one – they really nailed it with the bubbly. On this one you can barely see them! Sometimes it’s about the moment….
Yep it’s the thrill of the Chase (s)!!!!! We are big fans of this fam and Jordan was a spokesmodel for us a few years back so it was a thrill indeed to get them back to the studio for some delightful family portraits and they brought Gizmo the pup! Gizmo is awesome. Let’s get to some highlights!
Let’s start with the group:
Love it!
We also have some fun behind the scenes first with a JORDAN TAKEOVER of the Instagram… check it out!

Okay here are a few more pics:
Sibs Jordan and Josh are adorable!
And time for the happy couple Doug & Jessica (with Gizmo)!
At this point we switched to the white backdrop and we have more behind the scenes this time from Facebook!
And the family pic on white!
We are so happy to have Baila on our team!!! She just fit right in – personality to burn. And she’s just nice. And fun. And athletic, and smart and all around adorable, and we had a lot of fun with some new setups in the studio for the upcoming senior class of 2025! We’ve known Baila’s dad Steve for some time and once we sat down with them to strategize we knew this was going to be a blast. Let’s get to some highlights shall we?
And by the way we don’t care if BAE is so 2018 – we couldn’t resist lol…
Love that full length with the black and white split background – that’s a new one here!
We also have some fun behind the scenes from Facebook where we find out what Baila’s favorite ice cream flavor is (that’s a pretty important topic we usually cover in these). Haha!
Next we went with the black backdrop – these always look great and Baila crushed it.
Gorgeous! Baila is very comfortable in front of the camera but no senior should ever feel intimidated by the camera – Ally can help – that’s what we’re great at!
Time for another outfit change and that’s also a must – our seniors can change outfits for different looks during their 3 hour sessions as often as they like!
Pretty in pink! Let’s see some more behind the scenes from that one on Instagram:

And here’s one more with a new trick we learned at Imaging USA in Louisville…
So cool! A great one to end on…
We can’t wait to get Baila in front of Ally’s camera again for her full senior session and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our time with her! Baila is BAE indeed!
If you’ve followed this blog long enough you know we are very alliterative around here… The “triple s” title for this one was too hard to pass up with our Raider Representative Sophie!!! North Farmington Raiders that is which WE are as well, and we are heads over heels for this adorable ball of energy and aspiring tattoo artist from the upcoming senior class of 2025! We’ve actually known Sophie for most of her life so her mom Carrie gave her to us for the day and what a day! We hung out, laughed a ton, ate, and oh – we took some photos too. Some AMAZING photos. We’ve got a lot to look forward to for this upcoming class if our spokesmodel crew is any indicator so far. Let’s get to the pics!
We started out at Eastern Market which was definitely bustling on this Saturday morning…
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!
And we have some fun behind the scenes as well from the session which is all part of the fun – this one is from Instagram:

Here’s another one close by:
And more behind the scenes this time from Facebook!
To be clear we go into every senior session with a strategy – we have a consultation with our seniors before every session, and while our spokesmodel sessions tend to be our time to experiment with new locations and techniques we don’t always know when we’ll come across an open suitcase in a vintage store that our fun-sized senior will fit in so perfectly! Hehe…. this photo is everything.
How awesome is that?
And we’ll leave you with this one – a gorgeous dress at a gorgeous spot. As you can see it’s typical for our seniors to change outfits multiple times for different looks in our sessions. They can change as many times as they like!
Wow. Breathtaking!!!
We cannot WAIT to get this girl in front of Ally’s camera again along with the rest of the class of 2025 Frameable SENIORS, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Sophie in the Sity!
