Wildflower Senior Photos
*SUMMER EVENINGS ARE 80% BOOKED- SECURE YOUR DATE HERE*
For seniors dreaming of that soft, field-inspired look, wildflower sessions have become more popular every year—and it’s easy to see why. These sessions offer a natural, romantic feel that stands out while still feeling timeless. Because they rely on seasonal blooms, though, timing is key.
In general, tall grasses and delicate white flowers tend to be at their peak from mid-June through July. Later in the summer, vibrant pollinator gardens begin to bloom, usually from August until the first frost. I’m always scouting new locations as well, with a few promising spots I’ll be exploring in early summer.
When planning a session like this, I always suggest booking toward the beginning or middle of the expected bloom window. Waiting until the end of the season can be risky—especially if weather causes a reschedule and the blooms have already passed.
If you’re interested in a wildflower session, write “wildflowers” in your booking questionnaire under location. We’ll finalize the exact location as your session date gets closer, ensuring the best possible setting for your photos. The best time for this location is close to sunset, but I've done some earlier sessions with the flowers as well. I'll note the two types below.
My main wildflower locations are in Canton and Plymouth- good locations to pair with for longer sessions include the botanical gardens and downtown Plymouth. I'm searching for a great location to pair with the Law Quad/ downtown Ann Arbor- stay tuned for updates!
