Senior year flies by faster than you think, and one of the most common questions I get asked is: “When should we book senior photos?” If you're hoping for beautiful, relaxed photos that truly capture this once-in-a-lifetime moment, timing is everything.
Here’s what you need to know when planning the perfect senior session:
📅 Book Early — Earlier Than You Think!
The best time to book your senior session is about 6-9 months before you want the photos taken. Photographers’ calendars fill up quickly — especially for popular months like April, May, August, and September when the weather is perfect in Pittsburgh. Booking early gives you the best chance at picking the season, location, and date you love most.
🌷 Spring vs. 🍂 Fall Senior Sessions
Spring (April–May):
Everything feels fresh and colorful! It’s the perfect vibe for seniors who want flowers, soft sunshine, and a cheerful look.
Summer (June–August):
Long days, golden light, and a more relaxed schedule — summer is ideal if you want that glowy golden hour look without school stress.
Fall (September–November):
Fall is classic for senior pictures! Think cozy outfits, colorful leaves, and warm, rich tones. It’s also very popular — book early if you want a fall session!
❄️ Winter Sessions (Yes, They're Possible Too!)
If you’re someone who loves the idea of snow or cozy layered outfits, a winter shoot can be absolutely magical and totally unique!
🎯 Bottom Line:
The earlier you plan, the more options you’ll have. Whether you’re dreaming of blooming fields, golden sunsets, or crisp autumn leaves — there’s a perfect season for you!
