Every year I have seniors who book their senior portrait sessions with me late in their final semester of their senior year. Many are so stressed by that time because they have so many other tasks to check off of their to-do lists in preparation for graduation. Save yourself some stress by booking early. Here are five reasons why clients should consider scheduling their senior sessions ahead of time:
- Preferred Dates and Times: By booking early, clients have a better chance of securing their preferred dates and times for the senior session. Popular times, such as weekends or during specific seasons, tend to fill up quickly. Booking in advance ensures that clients can choose the most convenient and suitable time for their session.
- Access to Prime Locations: If clients have specific locations in mind for their senior portraits, booking early allows them to secure access to popular and picturesque locations. Some locations may have restrictions or limited availability, and booking ahead ensures clients can capture their senior portraits in the perfect setting.
- Ample Time for Planning and Preparation: Planning a senior session involves various details, such as choosing outfits, scouting locations, and coordinating any additional elements like props or accessories. Booking early provides clients with ample time to prepare, reducing last-minute stress and ensuring that every aspect of the session is well thought out and executed.
- Coordination with Graduation Timelines: Senior sessions often mark the culmination of a significant chapter in a student's life, leading up to graduation. Booking early allows clients to align their senior session with their graduation timeline, ensuring they have professional portraits ready for announcements, yearbooks, and other graduation-related purposes.
- Flexible Rescheduling Options: Life can be unpredictable, and unexpected events may arise that could potentially interfere with the scheduled session date. By booking early, clients often have more flexibility to reschedule if necessary. This ensures that, even in the face of unforeseen circumstances, they can still have a well-planned and enjoyable senior portrait experience.
In summary, booking senior sessions early provides clients with more choices, better preparation, access to preferred locations, alignment with graduation timelines, and increased flexibility. It's a proactive approach that contributes to a smoother and more personalized senior portrait experience.
