Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Start Planning Your Spring Senior Photos

Class of 2026 | Sundberg Photography – St. Louis & Wentzville Senior Photographer

Senior year moves fast — and if you’re dreaming of spring senior photos, winter is the ideal time to start planning. Even though it’s cold outside, spring senior sessions in the St. Louis and Wentzville area book earlier than most families expect. Getting a head start means less stress, more date options, and a session that feels fun and relaxed instead of rushed.

As a St. Louis senior photographer and Wentzville senior photographer who specializes in creating confident, natural, personality-filled senior portraits, I love helping seniors plan ahead so their session feels smooth from start to finish.

🌿 Why Spring Senior Pictures Are So Popular

Spring is one of the most requested seasons for high school senior portraits — especially for Class of 2026.
Here’s why:

• Fresh greenery & blooming flowers

Think pastel tones, soft light, and clean natural backgrounds. Spring creates the prettiest senior portrait color palette.

• Comfortable temperatures

No more sweating through August or freezing in December. Spring gives you mild, glowy session weather.

• Perfect timing before graduation

You’ll have your images ready in plenty of time for:

• Graduation announcements

• Senior parties

• Open house displays

• Prints and wall art

• Yearbook needs (depending on school)

• A relaxed senior experience

Booking early keeps everything calm — outfits, locations, hair & makeup planning, and timeline.

📅 Why You Should Book Spring Senior Photos Now (Not Later)

Even though spring feels far away, this is when senior photographers in St. Louis and Wentzville begin filling those dates.

Planning now gives you:

✔ First choice of dates

Top weekend and evening spots go quickly once spring starts.

✔ Time to plan outfits & locations

From downtown Wentzville to Chesterfield Amphitheater Park, Klondike Park, Forest Park, or your favorite St. Louis spot — we choose locations that fit your style and personality.

✔ A custom session designed around YOU

Senior portraits should feel authentic, confident, and fun — not last-minute or thrown together. Planning early makes all the difference.

🎨 Studio or Outdoor? You Can Choose Both.

Spring sessions don’t have to be 100% outdoors.
With Sundberg Photography, you can mix:

• Studio senior portraits (classic, modern, editorial)

• Outdoor senior photos in St. Louis or Wentzville

• Multiple outfits

• Variety in style, from casual to dressy

My goal is to create senior portraits that feel timeless, confident, and true to who you are.
