Senior year is here—and it’s your time to shine! Whether you're counting down to graduation or just starting to feel the excitement, one of the biggest moments of senior year is your senior portrait session. At Motion Media, we’re all about making this experience fun, personalized, and totally stress-free. Here’s everything you need to know about booking your senior photos and getting the most out of the moment.


When Should You Book Your Senior Portrait?

The earlier, the better! We recommend booking 2–4 months in advance, especially if you want your session during the busy spring or fall seasons. This gives you time to:

Reserve your ideal date

Plan outfits and locations

Meet school deadlines for yearbook submissions or announcements


Choose the Right Season for You

Stillwater gives us gorgeous photo ops year-round:

Spring = flowers, greenery, and golden sunlight

Summer = warm tones, bold skies, and beachy vibes

Fall = cozy sweaters, colorful leaves, and crisp air

Winter = soft light, neutral tones, and dreamy studio sessions

Think about your personal style and the mood you want your photos to have!


Let’s Talk Locations

Not sure where to shoot? We’ve got you! Some of our favorite Stillwater senior photo locations include:

We’ll help you choose a spot that reflects your vibe and personality.


Personalize Your Session

Senior portraits are all about YOU—your personality, your passions, your story. Bring props like:

Sports gear

Instruments or art supplies

Pets (yes, really!)

Cap & gown or college gear
