Tips & Tricks

Why you Should Book your Senior Pictures Early

You’re only in your Junior year. You have PLENTY of time to find and book your senior photographer. Cut to the moment you’re scrolling through Instagram and start seeing your friends have already posted their senior pictures!?!? Holy crap…where did the time go?

Don't be that person!

You get the Best Date Options

Schedules are busy and you have a ton of stuff planned the summer before your senior year. You want to make sure that you get the date that fits into YOUR schedule. Most of the best dates and times are booked before the summer begins so if you want to make sure you get what you want, you need to be one of the first to book.

What if weather is bad?

If you schedule your senior pictures earlier in the summer, you have more options for rescheduling due to weather.

Designing your Session

We start giving our seniors a prepping guide 4 months prior to their session so they can start getting ideas. One month before their session, we are already talking details with our seniors. A lot goes into planning the perfect senior session. Don’t rush the details!

Pinterest Planning

One of the best parts of planning for your senior pictures is putting together a Pinterest board of your vision. This board should be curated with poses, outfits, hair, makeup, and locations that fit your style.

Building Outfits

Planning your outfits. Usually the best outfits take time to put together. You want to make sure that you have shoes, accessories and layering pieces to complete an outfit. Sometimes these items need to be shopped from different places. Give yourself that time!

Perfect Hair

You don’t want a last minute cut or dye right before your session. What if something goes wrong!?!? Your stylist will thank you for being prepared and they won’t have problems fitting you in their schedule if you tell them in advance

Pearly Whites

If you’ve done the tissue test, you may notice that your teeth could use a little whitening. Crest white strips are amazing if you don’t have your own trays.

Cross if off your List

You know it’s something you have to do. So why wait until the last minute. Remove something from your crazy list of things to do so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of your junior year.

Almost there…!

We walk our seniors through the entire senior session planning. As you can see, there’s a lot that goes into a perfect senior session AND this is just the tip of the iceberg. We’d be happy to talk with you about your senior pictures and make sure you’re fully prepared.
