When is the BEST time for your Senior Photos? Your Kansas City Season Guide
By Joanna Goodman
There are so many decisions Senior Year! I’m here to help make one of them easier. The truth is, there are delightful reasons to choose ANY of the seasons for your session, but one will stand out for YOU. After all, Senior sessions are aaallll about celebrating your unique style, and that starts with booking for the time of year that features your favorite look and feeling.
Summer: Golden Breezy Comfort
With flexible long daylight, and golden hour warmth, summer is an easy YES for many Seniors. If you LOVE sun-kissed skin tones, airy breathable outfits, and enjoying the carefree vibe to it’s fullest before Senior Year, this one’s for you.
Another perk? You’re right at the beginning of Senior Year, you can use and enjoy the images throughout the semesters, and you won’t have the scheduling conflicts that may arise during the school year. If you LOVE bright florals, pick this one!
Fall: Timeless Warm Aesthetic
Rich colors and sweater weather may have you leaning into this season. Enjoy the crisp air and timeless backdrops of warm-toned foliage. Foliage! Fall books FAST, so plan ahead to enjoy the experience you really want from your Senior session.
Another perk? Senior year has started, and you’re in the thick of it. You’ll always look back on these images and remember what this time of life feels like. Having a session during Fall means building in a moment to intentionally take it all in. If you LOVE layers and pumpkin spice lattes, this might be the season for you.
Winter: Unique Elegant Beauty
There’s nothing quite like the soft evening light and the feel of a softer quieter landscape. Paired with a deeper colored wardrobe and the stylish layers, winter can offer the perfect Senior session. This is not a season to be written off, and makes for some of the most breathtaking shots.
Another perk? You’ve got one semester under your belt and you’re heading into the final stretch. This can be a built in moment to contemplate how far you’ve come, and intentionally set your mind to cherish the rest of Senior Year. You’ll also have more dreamy locations to yourself, a smart way to beat the crowds.
Spring: Fresh Floral Beginnings
The fresh earthy goodness of Spring is unbeatable. This one’s for you if you want to enjoy first blooms, budding abundant greenery, and the fresh Spring sun. Don’t ask me why, but YES, the sun does look fresher in Spring! This season allows you to layer if you want to, break into your floral dresses if you’d like, and embrace the feeling of a whole new start.
Another perk? The end of Senior Year is in sight! This session becomes a tribute to that, a calm in the middle of so many last minute to-dos, and a celebration of the launching of your next chapter.
