Senior pictures are a rite of passage for high school seniors, and many in New England take these photos during the summer before their senior year or autumn of their senior year. These seasons provide beautiful backdrops and allow for a timely submission of your yearbook photo. But what if you didn’t get a chance to take your senior pictures during those seasons? Is it too late to take senior pictures?

The short answer is no! While it’s ideal to take senior pictures during the summer or autumn, there’s no hard and fast rule that says you must take them before your yearbook photo due date. In fact, spring is an amazing time to take senior pictures. The flowers are blossoming on the trees and the beaches are pristine, making for gorgeous backdrops. Plus, the excitement for graduation is palpable, which can make your shoot so fun! You can include your graduation cap and gown in some shots, as well as put your future college gear on display.

What About After Graduation?

But what if you’ve already graduated and summer has come along? Is it too late to take senior pictures? The answer is still no! You can still capture this special time in your life during the summer after your senior year. In fact, you’re still technically a senior until the end of the summer, so you can still take advantage of all the senior perks.

However, the clock is ticking. My official consensus is that August following your graduation is the very last chance you have to take your senior pictures. Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture this special time in your life.

Don’t Miss Out!

Senior pictures are about so much more than just your yearbook photo. They’re a way to commemorate a special time in your life, capture your personality and style, and create lasting memories. So, if you’re nearing the end of your senior year or have already graduated, don’t worry. It’s not too late to take senior pictures. Contact a professional photographer and start planning your shoot today. You won’t regret it!

When To Book Your Senior Pictures

If you’re an upcoming senior looking to have your picture printed in your yearbook, the best time to schedule your session is during the summer before your senior year or in the early autumn of your senior year. It’s essential to contact me as soon as possible to secure a spot. I recommend booking at least four months in advance. Many of my clients often reserve their sessions up to a year ahead of time to get their desired slot. Sunrise senior pictures typically can be booked without quite as much notice.

The Best Time of Year to Schedule Senior Pictures

Often, my clients ask me, “Which month is the best for senior photos?” Well, as I mentioned previously, June, July, or August are best for senior pictures at sunrise. For sunset, I prefer September or early October personally. These months are consistently less humid and buggy. If you find yourself booking at the last minute and can’t get your desired date, don’t worry! There are options for mid-day sessions, which will still result in gorgeous photos. Additionally, I have a waitlist that you can join to stay updated on any available spots that arise.
