Your senior year only happens once, and it deserves photos that feel like you. I’m Malorie, the photographer behind M. Cogar Photos. I specialize in creating authentic, true-to-color senior portraits that show your personality, confidence, and style.
From downtown to golden sunsets at Tunnel Park, Holland is full of amazing spots for senior photos. As one of the top photographers in Holland MI, I’ll help you feel comfortable in front of the camera so your photos look natural and effortless.
If you love wide open fields or a quiet, laid-back setting, Zeeland has perfect spots for timeless senior portraits. I grew up in this area, and I know the hidden gems that make photos feel personal and unique.
I also photograph seniors in Jenison, Grand Haven, Spring Lake, Saugatuck and more. Whether we’re chasing golden hour on the beach, wandering a small-town street, or exploring a woodsy trail, your photos will reflect who you are and the places you love.
Senior photos should feel natural, never stiff or over-posed. My approach is relaxed and fun. I’ll guide you so you feel confident, but also leave room for genuine laughs and candid moments.
Here’s what makes my work different:
When you book your senior pictures in Holland or West Michigan, you’re not just scheduling a photoshoot, you’re creating an experience that will become one of your favorite senior year memories

I offer senior portrait sessions throughout West Michigan, including areas like Grand Rapids, Holland, Grand Haven, and surrounding cities. Whether you’re looking for a scenic outdoor shoot or an urban backdrop, I’m happy to work with you to find the perfect location that fits your vision.
Absolutely! I love collaborating with clients to choose locations that reflect their personality and style. Whether it’s a local park, your school, or a downtown area, we can discuss your preferences and pick a location that makes your photos uniquely yours.
I offer both indoor and outdoor sessions. If you have a preference for one or the other, or if the weather might affect your plans, just let me know. I also have access to a studio space for indoor portraits if that’s what you prefer!
It’s best to book your session at least 2-3 months in advance, especially during the busy senior season in the spring and fall. This ensures we have enough time to plan the session, choose the perfect location, and have your portraits ready before graduation.
Wear what feels most like you! Whether that’s casual, formal, or something in between, I recommend bringing a few outfit changes to give variety to your session. I’ll guide you through wardrobe choices and make sure you feel comfortable and confident during the shoot.
All of my senior portrait packages include a personalized consultation, a one-on-one photo session, high-quality editing of your photos, and a gallery for viewing and ordering prints. You’ll have access to digital downloads and can purchase additional prints or albums if desired.
Yes! While the focus is on you, I’m happy to include friends or family in your senior portraits. Whether it’s a sibling or a best friend, we can make sure to capture memories with loved ones during your shoot.
If we have an outdoor session scheduled and the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll work together to reschedule for a time that works for you. I also have indoor locations available in case we need to pivot last-minute!
This is so much more than just a photoshoot.
I’ll help you pick a location that fits your vibe, walk you through what to wear, and guide you with natural posing prompts so you never feel stiff or awkward. These sessions are designed to make you feel confident and comfortable, with high quality photos that you’ll actually want to share (and frame!).
