10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BOOK YOUR SENIOR PHOTOS EARLY

Why You Should Book Your Senior Photos Early and Take Advantage of Summer and Fall Sessions

I know senior year is a very exciting time, and capturing these special moments is something you’ll treasure forever. That’s why I want to share with you why booking your senior photo session early—especially during the summer and fall—can make all the difference. Here’s what some of my amazing clients have to say and why you should consider booking now!

1. Avoid the Rush

Senior year is packed with deadlines, and one of the most important ones is booking your senior photos. Many seniors wait too long and find that their preferred photographers are fully booked. As one of my clients shared, "A lot of upcoming seniors forget to book their photo sessions early and then MISS OUT on their dream photos because the photographer they really wanted is already fully booked!" Don’t let this be you!

2. Enjoy the Beautiful Weather

Summer and fall offer the best weather for photoshoots. One of my seniors said, "The months of July- November are the IDEAL and BEST months to take your senior photos because you are less busy." The warm weather, long days, and blooming flowers create the perfect backdrop for stunning photos. Plus, who doesn’t love a good sunflower field or a warm sunset?

3. More Flexibility and Free Time

During the summer, you have more free time and flexibility. One client mentioned, "You’re out of school and have way more free time and flexibility during the summer!" This means we can plan the perfect shoot without the stress of school, practice, and other commitments.

4. Capture Your Best Look

Summer is when you feel your best—tan, refreshed, and ready to shine! As one of my seniors put it, "You look the best in the summer! Your tan is it at it’s best, your freckles are popping, and you just got your hair done for the summer." Let me capture your summer glow in your senior photos!

5. Personalized and Fun Experience

I pride myself on making every photoshoot a fun and personalized experience. One client shared, "Michelle made the experience so wonderful and personal! She really made sure to get to know me and what I wanted out of my senior pictures." From helping you pick outfits to suggesting the best locations, I’m here to ensure your photos reflect who you are.

6. Creative Locations and Themes

Summer and fall provide endless possibilities for creative photoshoots. Whether it’s a beach, sunflower field, or a beautiful meadow field in the middle of the mountains, these seasons offer unique and beautiful settings. One of my clients loved that I “provided tons of information to help along the way and always quick to respond with any questions.” Together, we’ll find the perfect spot that matches your vision.

7. Confidence Boost

Seeing your photos in real-time can boost your confidence. One senior mentioned, "During the session, she would show me some pictures which helped with my confidence because I could see what I looked like." Knowing you look amazing during the shoot makes the experience even more amazing.

8. Special Memories

Booking early ensures you have ample time to create and capture beautiful memories. Another client shared, "Thank you so much for making my daughter feel so beautiful and creating such a great memory for her senior year." Let’s make your senior year unforgettable with photos that will love.

9. Avoid Disappointment

By booking early, you avoid the disappointment of missing out. Many of my clients have expressed how they were thrilled to secure their spots and avoid the stress of last-minute bookings. "I had to turn away so many amazing seniors because they waited to late to reach out."

10. Take Advantage of Prime Booking Time

June is the perfect time to start planning and schedule your senior session so that you are sure to get that date you want, even if you want a spring date as those fill up fast!. As one client wisely pointed out, "Right now - during the month of June, is PRIME TIME to start scheduling those senior sessions before your photographer is all booked up for the year."

So, what are you waiting for? Let me make your senior year the best it can be with stunning photos that capture your unique personality and style. Reach out today to secure your summer, fall, & Spring senior portrait sessions before they’re gone!
