When Do You Take Senior Pictures?

One of the most common questions that Cincinnati families have about Senior pictures is:

WHEN do you take Senior pictures?

The answer will likely surprise you.

It's NOT during the Senior year of high school. That's when you're finalizing college plans, preparing for Senior Prom, and planning the Graduation Party, among a million other things.

So, when is the best time to take Senior photos?

The best time to take Senior Photos is during the Junior year of high school.

Yes! While the Senior year might seem like it is so far away, the Junior year is the idea time to get your Senior photos done.

Why is the Junior Year the best time to take Senior photos?

1) You are able to book your preferred photographer

2) You aren't waiting until the last minute

3) You get them done and ready to share with friends

One of the most important reasons to start your photographer search early is because all the good senior photographers book up quickly and early! Waiting to book your senior photoshoot might mean that you won't get your pick of the best senior photographers. Start the search early and get your Senior photos on the calendar early!

Now, let's talk about the best seasons for Senior photos: Spring and Fall.

Spring during your Junior year or Fall of Junior or Senior year are the best times for outdoor Senior photoshoots. The weather isn't at one of the extremes, too hot and humid (no poofy hair) or too cold.

However, there is always the option of having an in-studio Senior photoshoot in my private studio in Kenwood.
