Senior year always feels far away… until it suddenly isn’t. Being a St. Louis senior photographer is one of my favorite!

If you’re starting to think about senior photos for the Class of 2026 or Class of 2027, spring and summer are some of the easiest seasons to book. I photograph seniors throughout the St. Louis area, and planning earlier almost always makes the experience feel calmer and more enjoyable.

Why Spring & Summer Work So Well for Senior Photos

Spring and summer are popular for senior sessions because schedules are more flexible, evenings are longer, and everything feels a little less rushed before senior year gets busy.

These seasons make it easier to:

  • Find dates that work
  • Avoid last-minute stress
  • Have photos ready for yearbooks, announcements, and prints

Spring sessions are a great option for Class of 2026 seniors, while summer works especially well for Class of 2027 seniors who want to plan ahead.

Every session is planned around the senior and what fits them best.

We’ll choose locations that make sense — outdoors, urban, in the studio, or somewhere meaningful — and styling help is always included so outfits don’t feel overwhelming.

Booking earlier gives you more flexibility and less to juggle once senior year is in full swing. It’s one thing you can confidently check off the list before schedules fill up.

St. Louis Area High Schools

I photograph seniors from many public and private high schools across St. Louis. Each session is tailored to the individual senior — not the school they attend.

Some of the schools I frequently work with include:

Public High Schools

Private High Schools

This is just a sample — I photograph seniors from schools all across the St. Louis area and beyond.

  • Spring sessions are still available for the Class of 2026
  • Summer booking is now open for the Class of 2027

Senior year comes faster than expected — even when it’s hard to admit. Planning now keeps everything simple later.
