When to Book Senior Portraits in North Texas

Senior year is a whirlwind—from college applications to football games to prom prep—and it all flies by faster than you expect. If you're thinking about senior portraits, the best time to book is now.

At Optical Poetry, I always recommend booking your session several months in advance. Here’s why:

✨ The Best Light Happens Early

North Texas summers can be hot, but they also offer golden, glowing sunsets that are ideal for portraits. Booking in late summer or early fall gives us dreamy natural light, lush greenery, and time to plan your outfits and location without rushing.

📅 Prime Dates Go Fast

Fall is my busiest season—and for good reason. The weather is cooler, and the colors are gorgeous. But because it’s so popular, those spots book up quickly. If you wait until the last minute, you might miss out on your ideal time (and trust me, no one wants to be shooting in freezing January wind).

🖼️ Time for Print Perfection

Whether you're dreaming of a custom album or a wall gallery to show off your senior's smile, early booking ensures we have enough time to design, order, and deliver your products well before graduation season.
