University of Michigan Senior Portraits | Fall Senior Photos in Ann Arbor

November 11, 2026 in Senior Portraits, Ann Arbor, Ann arbor photography, Law Quad UM, University Grad portraits

As we're in the midst of fall and quickly approaching winter, I wanted to share some fun fall-color senior portraits I photographed for Megan, a graduating University of Michigan senior! We met on the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor for a graduation portrait session, starting at the Law Quad before exploring some of the surrounding buildings and campus spots that were showing off their fall colors.

Megan reached out hoping to incorporate some of the beautiful autumn scenery around campus into her senior portraits, so we also wandered around to find some additional spots with colorful fall foliage, which made for a fun mix of architectural details, beautiful campus scenery, and those warm autumn colors.

One of my favorite things about photographing graduating seniors at the University of Michigan is how much variety the campus offers. From the iconic architecture of the Law Quad to the tree-lined walkways and historic buildings throughout campus, there are so many opportunities to create portraits that feel unique to each person and their time at Michigan.

It was such a pleasure getting to photograph Megan and help her celebrate this exciting milestone! Graduation is such a special season of life, and I love being able to create photographs that capture not only this moment but also the memories and experiences tied to the place where so much of it happened.

Thank you Megan for trusting me to help celebrate this milestone! Have a wonderful rest of the semester and happy graduation!
