Well, here I am as the mom of a junior and soon to be senior. I stress soon to be in future tense because my daughter is still a junior in high school and will not be a senior for another 6 months. I am also a senior photographer with 7 years of experience photographing, and more importantly, communicating with seniors and their parents. I understand fully the stress of staying on top of things. Junior year is filled with testing, all the logistics of prom, booking/attending college tours, etc, etc. We are teetering on the edge of sanity most days while helping our juniors stay afloat, too. They need us parents to stay even keeled when they’re overwhelmed. Trust me, I have witnessed and absorbed all of this the last 7 years with my seniors and parents. Some of our kids may be unable to express their stress, but we see it, we sense it and we feel it, too.
I’m here to tell my fellow Class of 2021 parents to breath and take the stress of booking a senior session off your plates until late spring. In fact, I book most of my seniors late spring/early summer and even LATE summer for those who drop the ball, and there are many who do! It’s easy to see why, so don’t beat yourselves up over it. I squeeze all my seniors in. My flexibility and compassion for teens and parents has contributed to the growth and success of my business. My clients understand fully that I have their backs. After all, most of us are still ironing out our summer plans which makes booking a session kinda tricky at this time. So breath, parents. Enjoy the waning days of this school year and save booking a session for now. I am here, I am you. When you’re ready to book (whether sooner, or later) I’ve got you covered.
