Senior year… it’s finally here! 🎉 You’re juggling classes, sports, prom planning, college visits, and everything in between. And somewhere in the middle of it all, you want senior photos that truly capture YOU—your personality, your vibe, your story.
But here’s the thing: the best senior sessions don’t just happen—they’re planned. And one of the biggest mistakes I see seniors make is waiting too long to book their photos. So let’s chat about why you should book early, and when to actually do it.
💥 The Best Dates Go Fast
You’re not the only one hoping for that dreamy golden hour or perfect spring backdrop! I open my calendar months in advance, and prime dates—especially during fall and spring—go FAST. Booking early gives you first dibs on the most popular times of year and ensures your session fits around your schedule.
👗 More Options for Outfits & Locations
Booking early gives us time to plan something really special. You’ll have more time to shop for outfits, pull together ideas, and choose the perfect location. Whether you’re dreaming of a beach sunset, urban downtown vibes, or a nature-inspired shoot, early booking gives you flexibility to create your vision.
😌 Less Stress During the School Year
Senior year is busy. The last thing you want is to scramble for a photographer when deadlines are creeping in and your schedule is packed. Booking early means your session is already on the calendar, giving you one less thing to worry about later. You’ll thank yourself, promise!
📅 Meet Yearbook Deadlines with Ease
A lot of schools have strict yearbook ad deadlines, and some even require a senior photo to be submitted by a certain date. By scheduling early, you’ll have plenty of time to review your photos, select your favorites, and get them submitted on time.
✅ Check It Off Your Senior To-Do List
Senior year is full of boxes to check and big moments to prep for. Booking your photos early lets you breathe a little easier knowing that your session is handled. All you have to do is show up and have fun—I’ll take care of the rest.
So… When Should You Book?
Here’s a quick guide:
- Summer sessions → book by April or May
- Fall sessions → book by June or July
- Winter sessions → book by September
- Spring sessions → book by October or November
Basically, aim to book 2–3 months in advance (or earlier if you’re super organized!) to get the date and season that works best for you.
