"How soon do you book up?"
It is a question that we get asked quite frequently. It is really going to depend on your individual area. Each year here in Clinton, Iowa, we are scheduling sessions earlier than the year before, and once we start booking into fall, the Saturday dates always go first. This year, before school even started, we were booked every Saturday through October and heading into November.
Do I have to schedule on a Saturday?
Definitely not! If you play football, cheer or are in any other fall sport, however, Saturdays usually work best, as your after school hours are filled with practices. We will gladly do sessions after school though, if that fits your schedule. Ideally, if your afterschool time is booked up, consider scheduling a summer session.
Why a summer session?
Summer sessions are actually ideal for a number of reasons. First, you don't have to worry about your after school schedule being filled up with practices, games, and work. You can have your session any time of the day and not have to miss school either. A summer session allows you to check one more thing off that senior year to do list early on in the year.
I am a junior. Is it too early to start thinking about senior photos?
Now is the perfect time to begin thinking about your senior session. Even though you are a junior (or maybe a sophomore or freshman), there are plenty of things that you can begin to do now to ensure that you have the best and most memorable experience. Scour Pinterest, photography blogs and websites, and even social media to see what types of senior photography interests you.
Then check out photographers in your local area, and see if what they do matches your style. Once you have found a studio that you'd like to check out further, pick up the phone and call them. See if they do in person consultations, and take some time to meet the photographer and tour their studio. If you are hoping for a summer session, spring of your junior year is a great time to get the ball rolling and book your session.
If you want to get on our wait list and be first to know when we are booking consults for your class, text your class year (for example "2024") to 563.258.4613.
Ok, so maybe you are thinking all this talk about planning senior pictures is great, but I am a senior this year. I still need my session done, and haven't booked anything yet. Help!!
