So when is the best time to celebrate their life this far with senior portraits?  This is a tricky question because there are so many things to think about.  Let me help you break them down.  

• Sports schedules - When are you busiest with sports & practices?
• The weather - Does the extreme heat or cold effect your child?
• Family vacations - Do you have any time off that would work for coordinating a session?
• Yearbook deadlines - Be sure you know these before the end of your kiddo's junior year!!!
• Budget / Possible Discounts - Portrait sessions are like television ads.  Full price for the prime time spots and discounted in the off season. Be sure to ask about May & August sessions here.  Hint. Hint ;)

In general the summer tends to be the easiest time for most families to coordinate the planning and shopping that goes into a custom portrait session.  Life is a little slower during the summer, so it just works.  This also gives you a head start on the yearbook ads and makes you feel one step ahead on your long senior year to do list.  

Other people want to wait for the beautiful fall colors.  The problem is the waiting.  Ahh!  We book our fall sessions sometimes a year in advance.  If this is the look you are going for, please book early!  These sessions are extremely popular and the colors only last a few weeks.  

Spring is always nice, but this puts you right up against deadlines to send out those graduation announcements.  And I'll go on to say that mamas who plan for the sessions earlier in the year tend to be less stressed because they can enjoy those last few months of their baby at home  :) 

Do you have any questions?  I'm happy to help!
