FAQ

When should I schedule my senior pictures session?

It's recommended to schedule senior pictures at least 2-3 months in advance to ensure availability, especially during peak seasons like spring and summer. For high school seniors, aim for the summer before senior year or early fall. For college seniors, early in the final semester is ideal.

 

Should I bring someone with me to the graduation photo session?

Bringing a friend or family member is a great idea for moral support and to help with outfits or posing. They can also assist with candid, behind-the-scenes photos for memories.

 

What should I wear for my graduation photo session?

 

Choose outfits that reflect your personality. High school seniors might prefer casual, fun clothing, while college seniors often opt for formal attire like cap and gown. Bring a mix of casual and dressy outfits to get a variety of shots.

 

Where is the best location for senior photos?

Popular spots include parks, urban settings, or your school campus. For college seniors, iconic campus landmarks like statues or buildings hold special meaning. Your photographer can suggest locations that suit your style.
