One of the number one questions I get asked is when is the best time to book your senior photographer? I decided to write a blog about it! I hope it comes in handy for all of the Juniors out there wondering the same thing! Here are my top three reasons for booking your senior photographer early and why it’s so important!

1. Your senior photographer may offer an early-bird special 

First things first – it is NEVER too early to start looking for your potential senior photographer! Alot of photographers, including myself, offer an “early-bird special” for seniors who book early on in the season! If you know who you want to work with, you might as well inquire early, and get your experience for a cheaper price!

“Early” in the senior booking world is considered anywhere from May-June of your Junior year. The popular booking season for seniors is considered to be July-October. If you’re interested in a summer session – the earlier, your inquiry the better! If you’re interested in a Fall session, inquiring anytime throughout June-July is good as well. 

2. You get first dibs on available dates

Summer and fall schedules get busy! Planning anything around a family vacation or sports practice schedule is a headache… By booking your senior photographer early, you have FIRST access to their availability! This means you get the month/season that you’ve always envisioned having your senior photos taken officially without any schedule complications!!

For a lot of photographers, once a month is officially booked it can be really hard to find room to fit in another session! We want to provide you with the best experience possible. We also want to create the beautiful photos you’ve always envisioned – one way to ensure that is to book your session early on in the season!!

3. One less thing you have to worry about going into senior year

Going into the senior year there is SO much you have to do, and it can be very overwhelming!  Why not cross senior portrait session off your list early so you don't have to worry about it?!  Do you see where I am going here?! Moral of the story: it’s never too early to reach out and get something on the books with the photographer you know you’ve always wanted for your senior photos!

The class of 2024 booking season has already kicked off! I cannot wait to work with all my new seniors and walk through another amazing year with them! If you’re interested in learning more about MP Studio Senior Experience, click here, or feel free to give me a call I can’t wait to hear from you
