WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE?
I SUGGEST CHOOSING YOUR TIME AND DATE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING FACTORS:
HOW YOUR SKIN WILL LOOK
(DO YOU TAN OR HAVE SPORTS COMMITMENTS THAT WILL CREATE HARSH TAN LINES?)
HOW YOUR HAIR HOLDS
(DOES YOUR HAIR HAVE TROUBLE HOLDING ITS STYLE IN THE SUMMER HEAT? A MORNING OR FALL SESSION MIGHT BE FOR YOU!)
HOW OUR NATURE LOCATION OPTIONS LOOK DURING EACH MONTH
(PICTURED BELOW)
A NOTE ON URBAN LOCATIONS:
URBAN LOCATIONS TEND TO LOOK THE SAME THROUGHOUT SENIOR SEASON. THIS GUIDE FOCUSES ON NATURE LOCATION VARIETY.
NATURE LOCATIONS:
MONTH BY MONTH
MAY
May brings blossoming trees and plenty of green! If you want lots of pretty feminine colors, May is the perfect time to book.
Pros:
Get your senior session checked off your summer to do list early!
Beautiful weather
Colors we don’t get the rest of the summer
May and June are my favorite months for evening senior sessions!
JUNE
There are lots of pretty wildflowers and plenty of greenery in June! Typically it’s not as humid in June as in other months!
Pros:
Not too hot - no need to worry about hair or makeup
Soft light at sunrise and sunset
Usually not too rainy and nothing feels dry yet
May and June are my favorite months for evening senior sessions!
JULY
If you love yellow flowers, July is for you! July usually brings various yellow blooms and there are sometimes some purples hanging on.
July tends to bring its fair share of reschedules due to the heat for evening sessions. It’s a great month for morning sessions!
Pros:
Tons of flowers!
AUGUST
August has dwindling wildflowers but we can usually find them! There’s lots of beautiful tall grass that starts to look very pretty and less heavy in August!
Pros:
Several tall grass field options
SEPTEMBER
Most of the wildflowers have faded away, leaving behind adorable dried flowers and grasses. September fields have a soft earthy vibe!
September comes with glow-y warm hues.
Pros:
Can dress for summer or fall
Extra soft morning light and later sunrise time
OCTOBER
If you want fall colors, choose the second half of October (or first week of November!)
We can get fall vibes in early October before the leaves change too.
Pros:
Beautiful light all day - morning October sessions are my favorite
Later sunrise time - morning sessions aren’t so early!
Usually not crazy cold yet
“EVERGREEN” OPTIONS:
LOCATIONS THAT LOOK AMAZING ALL SEASON LONG
EVERGREEN OPTIONS
These location options look amazing throughout the whole season!
Willow trees
Evergreen forest @ Jester Park
Boardwalk @ Jester Park
Downtown vine wall
Greenwood Park trail
Waterworks trees + tall grass
Beach at Sailorville
