One of my favorite aspects of photography is creating High School Senior Portraits. Seniors from Farmington, Livonia, Farmington Hills, Novi, Plymouth and all over SE Michigan come to Northstar Photography & Design to get creative and one of a kind High School Senior pictures. We’ve even had a senior travel from Traverse City!
Graduation is a big accomplishment and an important milestone in family history, and great senior portraits capture and preserve these special memories. During a High School Senior portrait session I get to know the graduate and learn about their personality and interests. Revealing their amazing individuality through the images is an exciting and dynamic process. Being creative and unique as the subject insures no cookie cutter poses like the mega studios.
I offer finely crafted images that embrace the look, style and personality of my subject. As an experienced Certified Professional Photographer I use great photographic tools like studio lighting and posing to bring out the best in every pose.
Equally important to the technical is the emotional: making the subject comfortable and confident. During our sessions we play the seniors’ favorite music and we take our time so the session is relaxed and fun. And that’s just the beginning of why I love my job!
Bringing a high fashion sensibility to a high school senior’s sessions creates arresting images. Dramatic lighting and off center composition emphasize that feel.
This High School Senior looks ruggedly handsome on location at Heritage Park in Farmington.
I love the drama of a powerful black and white image of an athletic High School Senior!
Heritage Park in Farmington is a favorite spot for High School Senior location shoots. Soft lighting creates a beautiful highlight in her eyes, and little camera tilt creates a great composition.
We broke out the smoke machine to add an artistic touch to Justin’s portrait with his English Horn. Nice edge lighting and color harmony make this a great profile shot.
Locations can create charmingly intimate images. Atmospheric and softly romantic.
Contemporary fashion treatment makes that color pop!
Senior High School location shoots offer an incredible selection of backgrounds and allow me to capture a wide variety of expressions and feelings!
Stephanie is an artist. She’s thoughtful and introspective and this portrait captures her incredible uniqueness.
This historic home at Mill Race in Northville, MI is the perfect setting for a great environmental senior portrait. Natural light enhances this quiet image.
Strong edge lighting and a reflector make this straight-on shot interesting. I used a gel on the background light to make the smoke match the color of his shirt.
Not to get too technical, but soft short side lighting, rim lighting on the hat and great color harmony combine to make this one of my favorite High School Senior Portrait images!
There’s nothing more dynamic than photographing a High School Senior in his element!
