Why booking your senior portrait session early is a great idea!

With spring quickly coming to an end, a new season is beginning: Senior Portrait Season! Now, you may be saying to yourself “Julia, I am just just finishing junior year, give me a minute!!!” I get it I do, but let me just say, you are going to be way happier and calmer if you book this important event early. Keep reading to find out why.

First things first: Take this short (very scientific, ahem) “self analysis quiz” to assess whether you are the type of Senior who should book their session early:

  1. Prefers to be a leader among your peers, answer questions and help others

  2. Likes to check things off you schedule and to-do list

  3. Is excited about senior year and wants to start it off feeling confident

  4. Tends to grow anxious or overwhelmed in new situations or with new people

  5. Appreciates time to prepare for important activities, events, potentially stressful situations

If you answered YES to one or more of the above, then you are the exact person/personality type who will benefit greatly from booking your senior portrait session early.


Q: What is the #1 reason to book your senior portrait session early ?

A: You’ll have more options than everyone else!!!

Benefits of Booking your Senior Photos Early

  • PEACE OF MIND

    • One major to-do for senior year is off the list

  • FLEXIBILITY

    • The earlier you book, the more flexibility you have to get the exact date, time, location that works best for you

    • If you want a haircut you’ll have time to plan ahead so your stylist is available rather than scrambling to book a last minute trip to the salon

    • If it looks like rain on your session day, there are far more dates from which to choose than if you book last minute

  • GORGEOUS LIGHT

    • The late day, “golden hour” sun in New England is gorgeous for photographs and highly sought after. There are only so many late day sessions available.

  • YOUR CHOICE OF WARDROBE

    • Sundresses, flowing tops and single layer clothing is best in warm weather. While you can wear whatever you would like, your body reacts in colder temps. (pink nose, dripping nose) It’s much easier to throw on a sweater in warm weather for a few shots then to wear a sundress and freeze in the fall.

  • RELAXATION

    • Your Senior Year is going to be stressful enough. Start it off on the right foot and book your photos early so you can lay back and start thinking about where life will take you next.

  • PERKS

    • When people plan ahead for their Senior Photo Session they also receive the benefit of some perks that people who book last minute do not receive. Sometimes it’s extra prints, sometimes it’s credit for additional products. Sometimes it’s actual products that would otherwise cost way more. You just never know…you’ll have to book early to find out.
