Class of 2026: It’s Time to Plan Your Senior Portraits!

Mar 7, 2025 | By: Mette McConnell Photography

Senior year is approaching, and that means it’s time to start planning your senior portraits! June and July are the perfect months to choose your photographer, giving you plenty of time to secure your ideal session date. Whether you’re dreaming of a fall session in October or a spring session in  late March, booking early ensures you get the season and timing that works best for you. Spring spots always fill up fast, so don’t wait too long to get on the calendar!

Choosing the Right Photographer for You

Your senior portraits should be a reflection of your personality and style, so finding the right photographer is important! Here are a few things to consider:

  • Check Their Style – Every photographer has a unique approach. Do you love light and airy photos? Something bold and dramatic? Look through portfolios to find a style that fits you.
  • Read Reviews & Ask Around – Hearing from past seniors can give you insight into the experience. Look for reviews that mention how comfortable and confident they felt during their session.
  • Meet Before You Book – Feeling at ease with your photographer makes all the difference! That’s why I recommend scheduling an Information & Design Session to plan every detail and make sure we create a session that’s all about YOU.

Fall vs. Spring Sessions: Which is Right for You?

Deciding between a fall or spring session? Each season has its own unique feel!

  • Fall (End of October/November) – Warm, golden tones, cozy outfits, and that cooler autumn air make fall a beautiful time for portraits.
  • Spring (March/early April) – Soft pastels, blooming flowers, and perfect weather give spring sessions a fresh, vibrant look—but they fill up first, so book early!

No matter which season feels right for you, securing your session now means you’ll have the best chance at getting your preferred date.

Why Now is the Best Time to Book

It may seem early, but the summer before your senior year is the perfect time to get ahead and book your session while you have the flexibility to plan. Waiting until the school year starts can add extra stress with classes, activities, and college applications. Booking now means you’ll have time to choose outfits, finalize locations, and create a vision that truly represents who you are!

Don’t Miss Out—Book Your Session Today!

Spring always books up first, and once spots are gone, they’re gone! Even if you’re leaning toward a fall session, getting on the calendar now means less stress later. Let’s start planning—schedule your Information & Design Session today and get ready to capture this exciting milestone!
