I know what you're thinking. Whoa! Calm down Amanda Photographer Lady, my child is only a Junior and I cannot wrap my head around the fact that my baby is going to be graduating High School! In all honesty, my son who is going to be 6 this year is going into 2nd grade and that is something I keep wanting to avoid myself. Let's face it, our babies are growing up and its super bitter sweet!
YES! I know it's kind of that gasp feeling; but the fact is, you do need to start thinking of Senior Portraits now. It's not too early, you're actually right on time, you don't want to feel rushed and ultimately you want to insure that you and your new senior get the best summer dates available!
Your Baby Is A Senior
This September you daughter/son will become a Senior. It's crazy to even have that thought pattern; I know! But yes, your child will be going into their last year of High School THIS YEAR.
It's Not Too Early
We are currently booking right now for Senior Portraits. We actually started booking last year for the Class of 2018; but the high time to actually book your Senior Session is right now. You want to insure that you and your daughter/son get those very coveted summer dates, since our PNW Weather is soooooo reliable.
You Are On Time
I know it can feel like it is too early to talk about Senior Portraits for your Junior; but there is a reason to book your Senior Portraits during your Junior Year.
Most schools in the Snohomish and some of King County, allow your Senior to submit their own picture for the yearbook. Everyone definitely wants one of their pictures from their Senior Portrait Session; but the yearbook due date is right when they start school. Yearbook is due anywhere from Sept-Dec of the beginning of their Senior Year. This is one of the reasons why Juniors rush to schedule and have their Senior Portrait Session the summer BEFORE they start school as a Senior.
Get The Best Summer Dates
There is truth in the saying "The early bird gets the worm." or in this situation the "Early booking gets the best Summer Date". It all boils down to one thing, when you book your Senior Session with the photographer of your choice (**clears throat, ME**) you get to snag the best Summer Dates available.
Most Boutqiue Portrait Photographers, like myself, have a first come first serve basis and typically shoot one client one day. I know that my availabilty as a photographer and portrait studio is very limited to those who book months even a year in advance. So, if you want those later Summer Dates, because you must be "tanned" or it's after you come back from Vacation, or just know that it isn't going to be gloom and doom with the PNW Weather, you definitely want to reserve and book your Senior Session now.

Becoming a Senior and experience the last year in high school is such a special time! You want to have a photographer that understands that, understands what your schools require and ultimately giving you the best to help you celebrate this special time in your life! So, moms and dads, it's time. Call me, I'll help you out! As your baby is going into their last year, mine is on his way to his second....I've got tissues and chocolate, we can cry and have some sweets together!
