4 Reasons to Book your Senior Pictures Early


Senior year is just around the corner, and it will be here faster than you think. The last semester of junior year is so busy and full of things to check off your to-do list. Don’t let scheduling your senior pictures slip through the cracks! Here are 4 reasons to book your senior pictures EARLY!


Most photographers set aside a certain number of sessions for seniors each year, and with making sure there are enough extra days for weather reschedules such as excessive heat, wind, or storms, dates become limited.

Sonnenblume takes 25 seniors each year. I keep these spots limited because I love to make sure each one has the absolute best experience. I take the time to get to know each senior, listen to their vision, go through outfit ideas, drive around and scout and hand pick the perfect locations for each, hand edit every image, and take the time to get together in person to help you pick out your favorites for printing. A lot of love and time goes into each senior!

It’s no secret that the earlier you book, the more options for dates will be available. If you book early, you won’t be just hoping there’s a day left. You’ll get to pick the day that fits your schedule and your vision. For example, if you’re wanting cozy and colorful, you want to wait until September or October. If you want floral and vibrant color, or even water, you’ll want summertime! Book your senior pictures early to get the best choice of dates!

Senior pictures are a big deal, and you want them to be perfect. By booking your date early, you have more time to plan. You’ll have more time to develop your vision, shop for outfits, and plan every detail. That means no last minute scrambling for something to wear, or crossing your fingers that your online order shows up on time.

Booking your date early means that if any reschedule does need to happen due to weather, illness, etc. there will be plenty of dates to choose from for your senior session. No need to panic!

Ready for a one of a kind senior experience? One that genuinely reflects YOU? Let’s work together! I can’t wait to meet you <3
