When should I do my senior session?
When should I do my senior session? That is a great question. Which season you chose and the reason behind it is as unique as you are. A few things to ask yourself when deciding on a season. Are you more of a
summer tan or cozy sweater
kind of person? Is there one season that really stands out as your absolute favorite time of the year? Does one season work better with your schedule?
Still can't decide? Did you know that with Lori Gray Photography you don't have to pick just one season. Most seniors do a split session called "One Session/Two Seasons". So if you can't decide or you just want more variety, One Session/Two Seasons may be the best fit for you.
