Seniors

Spokesmodel Cap and Gown Sesh 2022

When I set out to do a Senior Spokesmodel Team from the Grand Rapids area I never thought it would be so rewarding. Over the last twelve months they have attended several team sessions and it all ended with one that will stand out above the rest. The cap and gown session is one that really gives you all the feels. It’s the first time you see them in a moment that really makes you realize this is it. As a mom of a soon to be high schooler I know that this will be something that will really give me emotions. This was the first team that really put me on the map for a Michigan Senior Photographer and I will cherish every part of it.
