Ethan
Ethan’s senior session in Cass City was the perfect blend of rustic charm, natural beauty, and authentic personality. We started outdoors surrounded by greenery and winding dirt roads, where his casual style and quiet confidence stood out against the natural backdrops. Ethan incorporated his flute into several portraits, adding a personal touch that highlighted his love for music.
As the evening went on, we moved downtown to capture Cass City’s small-town character. From brick walls and historic storefronts to weathered stairways and alley textures, every location added depth and variety to his gallery. The mix of black and white and color portraits gave his session both a modern edge and a timeless feel.
Ethan’s senior portraits are a reflection of who he is in this moment – laid-back, thoughtful, and uniquely himself. Sessions like this remind me why I love photographing seniors across Michigan, capturing a season of life that deserves to be celebrated and remembered.
