  • “Sean captured my personality, excitement, and spartan spirit so so perfectly. Despite being behind the books for school, he helped me become comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Throughout the evening, he’d show me sneak peeks and I nearly cried and told him, you made me look like a doctor!” He said, “Well, you are!”

  • "Wonderful experience! He and his wife made my son comfortable during his senior photoshoot. I was extremely pleased with how professional, quick yet never rushed, smooth and fun the session was. Not to mention, the price was unbelievable!! I will be using Carter Creations for all of our photo needs!"

One of our favorite services that we offer are MSU grad photos. I recommend that my clients get a mix of traditional senior graduation photos with cap and gown and some with a simple white dress. Photos with the cap and gown offer more of a classic and timeless photo of yourself while the dress photos allow you to show the more classy personal side of your personality.

While the peak demand for Michigan State senior graduation photography occurs in the two weeks before and after graduation, I suggest considering a slightly later timeframe in the year to enjoy a more relaxed experience and avoid potential crowds, which can add up to 45 minutes to your session at popular landmark locations. Additionally, for winter graduates, capturing fall graduation photos on MSU's campus can provide stunning and less crowded settings.

Before your session

After you book your session and we sign the agreement, we will come up with a time and location for your seniors shoot. Click here for a list of my favorite spots around Lansing to do portraits. Make sure you or your senior fills out the short questionnaire that I send to you! This is also a good time to figure out what you want to wear and bring to your portrait session. Luckily, I’m here to help you out. For ideas on what to wear check this article out and for some additional tips and suggestions check this article out.

During your session

I’ll use a mix of prompts and movement to get natural photos. I’ll also have you bring a friend along to take part in some of the verbal prompts to get you laughing.

After your session

About two weeks after your photo session, you’ll get to see, purchase and download your photos in your online gallery, and you’ll get a two day 20% off sale to buy any professional print products that you want for your home or for gifts.
