Spring is definitely the busiest time for senior photos but it is also the busiest time for seniors! During the spring, my seniors are typically busy with spring break, prom, getting ready for graduation and so much more. Spring can be a great time to book your senior photos, however, be mindful of your busy schedule and make sure that the spring works best for you.
March and April in New Mexico can be unpredictable as far as weather. Some days are warm and sunny and others are windy and rainy. Just know that we may have to reschedule so you get the best possible day during the early spring months. But with the rain, comes beautiful flowers and green grass! So the backdrop during spring could be exactly what you want for your senior photos!
Parks are a great location for spring sessions because they provide a spot with green grass, leaves on the trees and colorful flowers.
Keep in mind your timeframe for sending out graduation party invitations or graduation announcements. If you are having a graduation party, you will need to send out invitations 3-6 weeks before the party which means you would need your photos taken to use on those invitations before that. So make sure to book your session about 8 weeks before your graduation party to give yourself plenty of time to get the photos and send out invitations.
If you are doing a graduation announcement, you have a little more time. Announcements are generally sent out much closer to graduation and in some cases even on the same day your graduate. Because you are not inviting people to the ceremony but rather just letting them know you graduated you can send them out all the way up until the day you graduate. So your photos should be taken a few weeks or more before that.
And what about spring fashion? Well if you are someone who loves to wear sundresses, sandals, rompers, shorts or other fun spring clothing, then this season is the right one for you. Think white jeans with a fun colored top or a boho sundress and sandals…all look great in the spring!
If spring sounds like the season for you, then be sure to contact me during the winter months to get the available dates before they are booked.
I hope this helps you decide which season is right for you! No matter what season you choose, I look forward to creating the perfect senior photo shoot that is all about you!! To book your senior photo session, complete our contact form. CLICK HERE!
