Looking at the photo archive of our predecessors, they did the most senior shoots during the months of April and May. (35 or so, with no more than a 3 in a month any other month of the year)
We're trying to decide what to do for a mailing (need customers or starve children) And that seems to be the way to go right now. But when is the "normal" season? I would think August September would be more likely. |

When I was in high school most everyone had their pictures taken in late summer and all fall. They had good tans, could take outside shots, and started to cool enough to wear more than shorts/t-shirt. Plus most of the sports were in full swing and everyone had their uniforms/equipment.
ETA: and you had wallets to pass out to friends all year long.

Depends...on your local area (the south is too hot in the summer, the north too cold and dead in the winter). A lot seems to be driven by when the school wants the pics for the year book, and many people procrastinate. I did a senior this month (march) and usually do a few in December as several school here have deadlines right before xmas break or the week back in January.
About the only months I don't shoot seniors is Jan and Feb..used to be march till this year! Most are in the summer - june thru august around here. Every kid is different though - some want it done before vacation, or after (to get a tan or avoid a burn). Fall color is getting more popular here.
Outdoor sessions are usually shot in the evenings as you can't get a teen out of bed for morning shoots. Studio sessions are more flexible, but so many kids are busy these days with jobs and activities it can be a challenge.
I've shot in the heat of summer, cold of winter in the snow, in the rain, the wind...it's more challenging that most weddings, weather wise LOL

I think most of them are done over the summertime, and beginning of school. I'm doing my classes senior portraits this year (some of them) and I'm planning on doing it over the summer.
