1. Start Thinking About Your Senior Photos

Your senior session is ALL about capturing this exciting time in your life, and the best way to ensure you love your photos is to plan ahead. Start thinking about locations, outfits, and any hobbies or props you want to include. Love sports? Bring your jersey and gear! Into hunting? Let’s grab some epic outdoor shots! Want something more urban? Downtown Bismarck has some incredible spots. Booking early means you get first dibs on the best dates and can plan your session when the weather is just right!

2. Stay On Top Of Your Academics

Senior year comes with a lot of fun, but don’t let senioritis take over just yet! Keep your grades up, especially if you’re applying for colleges or scholarships. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself later when you don’t have to play catch-up at the last minute.

3. Get Serious About College & Career Plans

Whether you’re heading off to college, joining the military, or jumping straight into a career, now’s the time to explore your options. Research schools, schedule campus visits, and start thinking about applications and financial aid. Even if college isn’t your path, consider job shadowing or internships to see what career fields interest you most!

4. Make A Bucket List For Senior Year

This is YOUR year, so make it unforgettable! Start a senior year bucket list with all the things you want to do before graduation—whether it’s going to every football game, planning a road trip with friends, or even just grabbing coffee every Friday before school. Make memories that will last long after high school!
