{Senior Portraits} When is the best time to take Senior Portraits?

Summer is here & all anyone wants to do is lie around & spend the rest of the time at the pool. I get it. I do, too! 

June is the month I strongly recommend taking care of senior pictures. 

Why? The kids are out of school and there are fewer commitments of time. It's just a little slower pace of life. And believe me, when senior year starts, it will kick into high gear QUICKLY! Schedules will fill fast & all of a sudden your yearbook advisor will be sending urgent emails telling  you the deadline to have the senior pictures in the yearbook is 2 weeks away. That is the LAST time to think about senior pictures! I promise. Photographers are often busy with fall family portraits by the time school yearbook deadlines come up and it's unlikely you'll get a session scheduled (believe it or not, I have 3 family sessions already locked in for Fall 2015 .... I take a limited number of sessions during the fall and it's truly first come, first served!)

June is perfect because while the temps are warm, we often aren't completely dripping in sweat during our on-location shoots the way we are in July or August. Nothing cuts our session short faster than an uncomfortable subject.

Also ... I have some amazing things going on with rue21salina .... STAY TUNED TOMORROW FOR THAT BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!! :)
