When to shoot?

Over the years, we've noticed some dramatic changes in students during their senior year. Many times, they look very different upon graduation than they did when their junior year ended. For this reason, we don't like to "rush" their senior photo session. While there are some valid reasons to shoot during the summer prior to your senior year (good weather and green outdoor backgrounds), we shoot many seniors later in the school year.

These are your main considerations:

1. When (if not supplied by your high school) does the yearbook require your portrait
2. Is there an outdoor setting that you would like to use, and what is the best time of year for this.
