I get this question pretty frequently, because clients always want to know which time of the year is optimal for their session. I understand; everyone wants the perfect senior session, but the real answer is that every season has positives and negatives, and you have to consider what is best for you and what you need. Here are some points about each time of the year, and what you can expect:
Winter: This can be a trickier season simply because of the obvious: the weather! That being said, there are some beautiful options for winter sessions, and for those of you who love wearing gorgeous coats and pretty boots and scarves, this is a perfect choice for you. If you are able to be flexible with your dates, winter is also a very unique time where you can get things like snow or overcast skies into your shoot, creating a cool, moodier look.
Spring: Spring is one of the fan-favorites for senior photos, because of the pretty blossoms and greenery. This is ideal for a senior who loves blue skies and who favors light, airy outfits or who wants photos with lots of natural color. Spring is also good timing for getting your session in before the end of your senior year.
Summer: Summer is usually the time of year for my more adventurous seniors who love to brave the heat and yes, occasionally a few mosquitoes! The seniors who choose summer usually opt for places near water (for good reason), or choose early morning or sunset sessions to avoid the hottest times of day. The advantage of a summer session right before your senior year is that you will have your photos done long before your friends, and will be able to be the trendsetter for all your friends! You also won’t be stressing over getting them done amidst all the graduation frenzy, either!
Fall: While many seniors choose fall for their senior session (it’s the most traditional time to do photos), it’s for a good reason. The leaves are gorgeous, the colors are usually warm and cozy, and you have lots of wardrobe choices. Doing your session in the fall will allow you plenty of time to get your grad announcements done and turn in your photos for your senior party or get your products back in time to display!
