Downtown Midland is a popular place for my seniors to get their pictures taken. Ashlyn is my first ever senior though who lives in Saginaw. Even though she doesn’t live in Midland, she chose our very fun downtown for her first location. Love it! Also, I always tell me seniors to never wear neon colors. They just don’t look great and take away from the senior themselves. But bright colors like this pink shirt? YES! Absolutely wear bright colors for your session. They provide the right pop of color without being distracting. I also love how this color just looks so good on Ashlyn and totally shows off her fun, charismatic, and happy personality.

Downtown Midland has really spruced itself up this summer. There are little fences and gates, grass in the middle of the street, and new places to sit and eat outside. We took full advantage of these.

This picture on the right just happens to be taken in my favorite spot in Downtown Midland. It’s such a great (and maybe slightly hidden) alleyway.

Isn’t Ashlyn lovely? Most of my girls are worried they won’t photograph well, but lookie lookie. I guess they don’t need to be worried after all. 😀

After hitting up some of my favorite spots, Ashlyn and I decided to have a little fun. 😉 Big shout out to Serendipty Road and Joyful Tantrum for this awesome set-up.

After a quick outfit change, we headed up to the courthouse. I feel like this little spot is a bit underused in downtown Midland. Ashlyn’s outfit paired very well with the location.

Next time I blog, I’ll show you the second half of her session. She chose the Chippewa Nature Center, and you all know how I feel about that location. 🙂 See you then!

Let's be social!
