Senior session is upon us and now is the time to start thinking about your senior session. Here I will address the top questions you may have about your senior session. When should you schedule? Where should you have your session? What should you wear? You've come to the right place. Let's dig in.
The Best Time
When is the season for senior sessions? The season is now, the summer before senior year! The trees are green, the flowers are in bloom, and the weather is dreamy. Once school starts, things can get hectic fast and most senior portraits are due within a month of school picking back up. Since summers are also quite busy with travel, weddings, and other sessions, you want to book early on. Don't wait to book in the fall - many photographers become over booked as fall draws near.
The very best time of day is usually right before sunset when the light is golden. Ultmately, the time of day the session starts will be dependent on the locations that are chosen.

What to wear
Most clients have at least couple of outfit changes. Ladies typically have a laid back look and a more formal look. Guys may have the same bottoms but switch out a couple of tops. Those who are into a sport or other activity also bring that attire - things like letterman jackets, sports uniforms/jersey, etc.
