Seasonal Foliage

When should I take my senior pictures?

Some foliage is only available certain times of the year. 
√ Spring Blossoms – Mid-End of May
√ Wheat Flied – Mid-End of July
√ Sunflower Field – Early August
√ Fall Leaves –  End of September
√ Snow – December or January (not really foliage, but you get my point)

Showcasing Activities

When should I take my senior pictures?

Maybe you want to showcase a hobby or an event that you love. Think of when you do that to help you decide on when you should shoot your session.
√ Water Sports – July/August (when water is warm)
√ Fair Grounds – July (search specific dates)
√ Snowmobiling – January/February (make sure we have snow)
√ Golf – May/June

Other Variables

When should I take my senior pictures?

Here are some other things to think about that might determine when you should shoot your session.
√ Bugs – June is warm with the least amount of mosquitoes!
√ Outfits – If you love the cozy look, maybe plan for September/October. If you love tanks and sleeveless dresses, spring or summer months are best.
√ Humidity – Have curly hair? Get it done in the spring!
