How to Prepare for Spring Senior Pictures in Sacramento, County and surrounding areas

Why Spring Is the Best Time for Senior Pictures

Spring senior pictures are always in high demand across Sacramento, Folsom, Granite Bay, and nearby areas. Why? Blooming flowers, green grass, and soft natural light make it a perfect backdrop for portraits. Morning sessions offer crisp, clean light, while sunset shoots capture that golden glow around 7PM. It’s the ideal season to showcase your personality and style without the summer heat or fall rush.

Best Months to Book Spring Senior Pictures

February:

This month is perfect for those with busy Spring schedules. Still have greenery and hello it is Almond Blossom Month! Also January and February are my favorite months for guy senior pictures. I love taking them Downtown or to Old Sacramento.

March:
The most efficient month for senior pictures. You'll have your photos ready in time for announcements, thank-you cards, and custom grad gifts.

April:
This is the busiest month of the season. Flowers are in full bloom, and it’s early enough to use your images for party invites and social media.

May:
Perfect if you want to feature your college choice. Most seniors know their next step by May, so it’s a great time to add school spirit to your session.

If you're in the Sacramento region, it's best to book 1–2 months ahead, especially for April dates.

What to Wear for Spring Senior Pictures

Stick with the 3 T’s—Trendy, Timeless, and True to You. Great spring options include white tops with denim, flowy dresses, or outfits with pastel or rich jewel tones based on your skin and hair tone. A personalized style guide is provided for every MC senior to help with wardrobe planning.

Don’t skip the details: hats, jewelry, a bouquet, your dog, or even your car can add personality to your shoot.
