College graduation is more than just a ceremony, it's the final chapter of a life-changing experience and the beginning of your next adventure. What better way to celebrate this huge accomplishment than with college graduation photos on campus, surrounded by the friends who shared the journey?

At Reflections Photography, we love working with graduating seniors from colleges across Mid-Michigan to create fun, meaningful, and stylish graduation photo sessions that capture your personality, pride, and friendships in the places that meant the most.

Why Take Graduation Photos on Campus?

Your campus is more than just classrooms, it's where you grew, learned, laughed, and made memories. Taking your graduation pictures at meaningful spots on campus helps you hold on to those memories forever. Think:

Your college sign or welcome monument
Favorite hangout spots or dorm buildings
The steps of your academic hall
Campus fountains, gardens, or iconic statues
The library, quad, or stadium

These backdrops make your college senior photos personal, nostalgic, and timeless.

Don’t Forget Your Friends!

Some of the best graduation photo sessions include your college besties! Group graduation photos are a fun way to celebrate your friendship and shared experiences. You’ll laugh, reminisce, and get amazing shots that reflect your bond before you head off on your separate paths.

Group sessions also offer a more relaxed vibe and plenty of variety, plus you can split the cost!

What to Wear for Your Graduation Session

Your college graduation photos are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show off your achievements in style. We recommend:

Your cap and gown (of course!)
A formal or semi-formal outfit underneath (like a dress, suit, or business casual)
College gear: sweatshirts, jerseys, or spirit wear
Comfortable shoes if we’ll be walking campus
Don’t forget cords, stoles, or special pins!

Serving Colleges Across Mid-Michigan

Reflections Photography is proud to work with graduates from:

Michigan State University
Central Michigan University
Grand Valley State University
Lansing Community College
Alma College
And more!

Whether you're graduating from a big university or a small college, we’ll help you find the perfect spots on campus for your senior session.

When to Schedule Your Session

The best time for college senior pictures is:

A few weeks before graduation (for great weather and greenery)
In your cap and gown pickup window

Weekdays often offer less foot traffic for cleaner backgrounds, especially in popular campus spots.
