Question: When should I book my senior session?

The answer:  The sooner the better!


And by sooner the better, I mean, yes, before you are a senior. I know, I know this seems crazy early!


There are a few things to consider when scheduling your custom senior session:

  • Yearbook deadlines (these come earlier than you'd think)
  • Senior schedules (seniors can be crazy busy!)
  • Graduation parties (grad announcements are usually designed a few months before you graduate so you want to be sure to be able to get them together in time)


Yearbook Deadlines for Senior Photos

Depending on what school you attend in the Frisco, TX or DFW area, and whether or not you are planning to purchase a yearbook ad, the deadlines tend to be early.  This makes it even more important to book a summer session!  


High School Senior Schedules

Let's face it, kids today are busy! Whether they are in sports, clubs, have a job, or have other social activities, it can be tough to navigate time in your senior's busy schedule. And it is likely to get worse during their senior year. This is why you want to take a look at that calendar and plan a date that works best for you and you want to do this early, when there is more availability!


Graduation Announcements for your Senior Year

Now, if you want to wait until the spring of your senior year please keep in mind when you may want to send out graduation announcements. Most seniors get many invitations to graduation parties, so, it's best to get yours on the calendar early. It's doable but can be stressful trying to arrange for a senior photo session and plan for your senior's graduation festivities!  Wouldn't it be nice to have one less thing to worry about? You DO NOT want to wait until the last minute to book your senior picture session and have senior graduation announcements designed in time to send out :) 


Less Stress for Parents of Graduating Seniors

Once you get that senior picture session on the calendar, it's one less thing you need to worry about on the road to graduation! You'll have plenty of time to get those graduation announcements designed and pick the prints you'll want to have displayed at their graduation party. Scheduling early also gives you more date options, which means less schedule juggling for you.
