Why Summer is the Perfect Time for Senior Photos - Tulsa Senior Portraits Photographer FAQ

Why Summer Works So Well for Senior Portraits

• Warmer temps mean cooler clothes. Dresses, shorts, tank tops. We all love a good summer vibe and I love taking photos outside in the sun. You can wear your most comfy outfits in the summer without being too chilly.
• Oklahoma weather is more predictable in summer. We know it's hot, but it's pretty consistent. Spring and fall fluctuate in temperature and rainfall. Summer storms are pretty easy to work around.
• That tan, baby! You've probably worked on the tan since they day school let out. Let's show it off!  (And my pale baddies look amazing too with their natural skin glowing in the sunlight!)
• The flowers are blooming. Spring is too wet, fall is too dry, and winter is too cold. But summer? That's when all the color happens. Wildflowers start blooming (in Oklahoma anyway) in the early summer, and the bright blooms of curated gardens carry us through the rest of the season. If you like the flora, this is your season.
• Longer days in the summer mean more shooting time! Once fall hits, the time starts getting shorter, which means we need to hurry and get you to me before the sunsets. In summer, the sunset doesn't even happen until close to 9pm! That gives us plenty of time to plan, play, and take all the gorgeous evening pics we want without having to worry about losing the light. I love a longer day!
• Summer is just more relaxed. When you're in school, there's always something going on, especially during senior year. There's more graduation prep, more events, more activities, more homework, more practice and rehearsals. Summer is just a little more less on edge, so you only have to worry about the one thing...having a great time at your senior session!
