Hey Uprising Seniors!

If you’re the parent of a Class of 2027 high school senior, it may feel early to be thinking about senior photos — but now is actually the perfect time to start planning.

Senior photography isn’t just about yearbook photos. It’s about capturing your teen’s personality, confidence, and this once-in-a-lifetime milestone.

Here’s what families in Wallingford and surrounding Connecticut towns should know.

When Should Class of 2027 Seniors Book Their Photos?

The ideal time to book senior photos for the Class of 2027 is late spring through early fall before senior year begins.

Popular booking windows:

  • Late spring of junior year
  • Summer before senior year
  • Early fall of senior year

These times offer:

  • Beautiful natural light
  • More flexibility with scheduling
  • Plenty of time for yearbook deadlines

Booking early also gives you more date and location options.

What to Expect From a Senior Session

Senior sessions are relaxed, fun, and tailored to your teen.

Sessions can include:

  • Outdoor or studio options
  • Multiple outfit changes
  • A mix of posed and natural images
  • Locations that reflect your senior’s personality

Whether your senior prefers something classic, athletic, artistic, or casual, the goal is to capture who they are right now.
